Best match pies!

RotalicaV

Where do you think sells the best match pies?

I dont like pies but when I go to a Bray Wanderers game I need to get a cup of soup or else you will freeze to death. I dont think they sell pies there anyway

Trying to get food at a Prem game can be a nightmare, especially if you want to see the game rather than get stuck in a queue. Plus its usually a better idea to drain some of the lager from your system at half time, and thats an uphill struggle at times as well...

As for Tolka Park, I'm tempted to join the Burdocks queue some time, but I hate the way it starts right at kick-off. So far I've limited myself to a cup of coffee with a free nearly out-of-date Wagon Wheel!

Wigan, well it is pie country after all and they really do make an effort.

Scouse pies at Anfield are nice too.

Used to sell pies at Carlisle Grounds but stopped them quite a while ago, must not have been selling all that well or the person that was supplying them stopped supplying, that was back in the day when you used to have to go into the little shed for your tea and us Order Of Malta types used to get in free and have a pie and tea too.

Pies at Old Trafford are alright, nothin major but when u are cold do u care!!

I think the pies at Stockport County were nicer but again was so hungry did not care!!

Carrow Road or else St Marys, St James Park and also The Reebok. Avoid Selhurst like the plague. It's woeful to say the least although I've only gone in the away section and it's like something from the 1950's

Didn't get a chance to partake last night, but was very impressed with the proper queuing system instead of the usual free-for-all.

Fine stadium all round (slightly ruined by being full of Bolton fans and being in a rather grim neck of the woods in general)

Great stadium isn't it? I sat both in the home and away sections. It has to be one of the weirdest accents we heard but when driving along the motorway to see it in the distance is impressive but when you get there all you have is a little shopping complex and thats about it. We found a couple of pubs about a 10 minute walk away from the ground which welcomed home and away supporters and it's probably one of my favourite away grounds.

Got the thrain from Manchester Airport to Horwich Parkway (stopped at Picadilly) which is less than five minutes walk away, you walk straight up towards the West Stand (I think) and it does look impressive all right.

Have to say Manchester Airport seems to be ideal for quite a few clubs in that neck of the woods, Wigan/Bolton/Blackburn/Citeh/Yanited/Scousers/Toffees all within Diouf distance. Very handy. Back in a couple of weeks for Wigan, I'll be trying a pie then.

Aye, Gravy and all Gravy with the corn flakes even!!

They were voted best pies in the league there recently, Wigan is a handy away game to get too, always more away fans than home fans as they cannot get the support. The piese there are superb, the football isn't bad there at the moment either. If you are just looking to get a prem game in you are almost guaranteed to get a ticket if you apply to Wigan for a seat in the home stand.

Credited with my loyalty points on the Spurs site on Sunday for the fixture, which means ticket's on t'way and I'll be in with the 5000 or so Yids.

COYS!

Who called Jewish people "yids"?

MrJoeSoap

Can't beat a hot-dog at Tolka Park. No pies though, I think thats mainly an English/British thing.

You did

MrJoeSoap

"Spurs fans long ago responded to the chants of 'yids' and now scream 'yiddo' and 'come on you yids' at every opportunity (to good effect this afternoon, when we beat the cheats of Newscastle 1-0)."

Spurs fans have referred to themselves as Yids since the early 80s, to counter opposition fans who used the term in an abusive manner towards us. Hence the chant "Yid army" which is probably the most regular heard in and around WHL on match day. Thats who I was referring to.

So unless somebody's suggesting that all Spurs fans are Jewish...

Thanx 4 The Fish

No just all of the ones that travel to away games - 5,000 Yids i think was your estimate

Is alot like Scouse which was originally coined as a derogatory term for Liverpuddlians, this has now however been adopted by Liverpool fans.

sorry thats my fault for sturring it up i was just messing with you saying "i don't think jewish people like being called yid" i know that spurs used it to their power taking a term that was designed to be defamatory and turning it into you own, just like the term "paddy" "******" "scouse" all words intend for to hurt but taken on by the groups and turned into a word of empowerment. so sorry again for looking like i was telling tales or trying to get you into trouble, i only said it because i used to live in golders green.

edit: even boards think one of the words is defamatory, why didn't it do that to yid? etc.
