Morning Just wondering, does it cost any more to get gravy on your pie? if so, how much?

BADGERS

Remember have Pukka pie at Christie Park it was £2.20 and £2.30 with gravy and £2.50. h/t lovely pie

guess same

Fookin' £2.90 a pie at Bradford !!

main stand plant room bar had plenty of gravy today, but no pies,...or any other hot food
or guiness........or cider!

I was fine though coz i love polo mints with peas and gravy

No hot food at the back of MBW 2 mins into halftime apparentley

they let people line up pointlessly in the family end, I wonder if they ran out of caviar and that in the bollywood enclosure

Two mates in front of me got the last two pies, when I asked why they had ran out he said they'll be ready for half time. I mentioned it was half time as it was 3:45 and noted the huge queue behind me. The reply was "oh is it?".

I asked why there wasn't food ready for the rush and he claimed they were too busy. How busy they can be during the first half I don't know, so god knows what they were doing all afternoon.

too busy! So they are not doing their job because they are too busy!? Like you say you have to wonder what they are doing if you had any sence you would start sorting out half time food in the first half so you could be ready for the rush at 3.45

heysham mfc mate, you are obviously not familiar with the set up, they ran out BEFORE the half time rush, coz they had nothing to sell apart from polo mints and hot chocolate

A catering guy walked down the full length of the MBW about 5 minutes before half time carrying a full box of (which we could see right into), yep, you guessed it ..... PIES !!!!!!!

Get foddered before...
Get foddered after...
No need to get foddered in-between...
What is the fascination of queuing up for over-priced fodder just to complain about the quality, price, or length of the queue?

All part of the match day experience Peter, all part of the experience.

I've just got back from an evening at Blackpool Illuminations (walked the prom, not driven it. no chance !!) and the unbelievable queues of people trying to get into greasy spoon cafes, chippy restaurants in the side streets of Bispham had to be seen to be believed !!!!

Now that IS over priced fodder !! Crappy quality too on the whole !!

In my day we always stopped at Great Eccleston for fish and chips.

And then they come back, and complain some some bugger has nicked their bit of terrace.
God, I'm glad I live down south

Ah yes, we drove through Great Eccleston and saw a sign pointing to a F&C Restaurant !

God foddered up at the match though ....... with overpriced ...... NO !!! Stop !!!!!

Exactly. Trouble is Great Eccleston is a long walk from Bispham

It used to be good food at a reasonable price. Today was the first time I'd had pie & peas at The Globe. Its unlikely to happen again for a long while The crust was rock hard and it was more of a pea soup than mushy peas, far too much of it ended up in the bin. Why, when we had 'the best pies in football' at Christie Park weren't the same team allowed to carry on at The Globe?

I agree Keith. What we have now are just not the same. I've given up on them too tbh.

Having said that, at least we don't have those god awful Pukka "Pie" efforts ..... bleurgh.

Well it could have been worse just think of the chaos that would have been caused if they ran out of Polo mints!

Ah that brings back memories !
I seem to remember also on our jaunts out a pub called the Dog and Partridge just off south shore !
Ah the good old days

Aye, so are we

so for once, we all are in agreement, that the globe is dishing out overpriced crap, served to us by the keystone cops, love the team and the town, but the administration is total , french word coming up,(bolleaux!)

And no cowing Bovril either! What are football grounds coming to????

Jasper Carrot would turn in his grave!

I remember being a guest of the sponsors at Stamford Bridge (a few years ago now, when they were sponsored by Commodore) and my wife asked for Bovril at half time. Champagen there was aplenty, wine by the barrel but no Bovril. But to my eternal surprise and to the eternal credit of the in house caterers, someone found some somewhere, and about five minutes into the second half, two piping hot plastic cups appeared! Fan-tastic!
