I don’t always have a pint at the game, but I always wonder why they don’t pre pull them at half time as it’s literally a 10 minute wait and I imagine some just don’t bother because of it. I don’t know whether other people think that’s a good idea ???

On the food topic, I think football food (and drink, for that matter) is a particularly difficult problem.

Think it's a general rule of most things that you can only ever have two of Quick, Good, and Cheap... never all three. Football food needs to be Very Quick given the large numbers of people to be fed in a short space of time, so it's how they balance Good and Cheap. A chippie or a cafe might cater for similar numbers of people, but over a much longer and less intensive period of time.

Not saying whether they've got it right or not at the moment... I've always just assumed it's either overpriced or low quality or both and avoided it. Perhaps that's unfair.

I always wonder the same. Nobody goes into a football ground expecting a decent pint, but would like a quick pint. Just have someone constantly pouring.

You should have been at Wimbledon, I was having to pay £7.60 for a pint of lager in the local pubs..

Personally I'd rather pay more for a proper beer in a pint glass in a decent pub than a **** pint in plastic stood behind an away end.

Which pubs did you try before the game? Plenty of very good venues to try.
