Sisu - Food at The Ricoh - Plus Funny Food Stories (1 Viewer)

[GaryJones]

With the current Crisis probably falling down because ACL refuse to declare the Catering Food and Drink numbers to Sisu I have began to wonder how much we take for food and drink on matchdays!
Bloody Hell it must be a lot if its going to make this much difference to the future of Coventry City Football Club.

BTW My experience of the food at the Ricoh is that its not that great!

You queue for 20 times longer than it takes you to eat what youve queued for and its normally "horse in a pie".

The drinks are in squashy glasses so you spill half of it before you get your lips to the glass!

Any funny food stories - post them here..............................................

A few seasons ago I went to Portsmouth and bought the most beautiful Steak and Stilton Pasty outside the ground - just as I went to put this work of art to my lips a ginormus seagull swooped and whipped the entire thing off my face!
I was left with a cut lip and a slivver of pastry! :facepalm:

Bovril is a concoction I only drink at football grounds, and its quality varies from chef to chef. The sous chef at the Madejski last season failed to stir long enough. I was left with a cup mainly boiled water with a thick brown gloop at the bottom.


It was the best tasting gunk ever. I later wrote to Reading to ensure the chef responsible ('Steve') was promoted to head chef.

I remember having a pie at Luton that must been heated by a nuclear blast, the hottest thing I've ever tasted, burned my mouth really bad.....

You don't have to queue long if you are in the telegraph stand. Just walk along a bit and you will see that queues are only 5 deep rather than the 15 or 20 people in blocks 15-23.

I ate at HR once. Didn't think to ask for the haddock pie.

Paid £1.80 for a bottle of water minus cap - "why no cap" I ask, "you might throw the bottle on to the pitch" came the reply - "perleeeze I'm nearly 70 you can stuff your water"

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

You don't need the cap on to be able to throw it?

I once ran around Highbury, sent the wrong way by stewards, trying to eat a hot dog ending up with ketchup all down me top, got in 10 minutes late and to find my team already 1-0 down :facepalm:

That cap issue is so infuriating. It is a bit random now but a couple of years ago the indignity of having a snotty nosed person taking the top off was infuriating. I take my own now. But last Saturday I planned ahead and unscrewed one off an old bottle. I had it all planned out.......snotty nosed youth takes top off and I put my top on it straight away... I buy the drink and snotty nosed youth handed the drink over with the top on. Thwarted : (

The Authorities monitor these forums you know. Next home game we'll be searched at the turnstiles for bottle tops!

Back in the late 80s on the west terrace there was a bloke in front of us just about to take a bite out of his pie when Dave Bennett let rip with a fantactically miss hit shot which knocked it straight down the blokes front...nobody laughed ..honest

Can't help feeling that's his own fault.

If your bottles tops are taken off, get some of the uht milk they have next to the sugars take the top off clean the milk out and then the carton fits perfect over the bottle

 

[Sbarcher]

Back at HR, I took the top off your missus and licked the sauce from her pie..........

was my late dads final wish to have his ashes scattered at the ground. The steward wouldnt let me in as the ashes were in a glass container.

Crazy, it really comes to something when you cant take a bottle of pop to the game

That's fair enough if it was glass, mate. Maybe you should buy a plastic bottle next time!

I used to have an astravan and tango bottle tops replaced the side indicator perfectly :claping hands:
