Hot Food Provided for home games

[abbeyvale]

Guys
Just curious, that since the chip/burger van that used to be in Jackman Park for all home games last season, is no longer there this season, what kind of hot food is provided for home games this season.

Would the chip/burger van be welcomed back? or is the current service being provided sufficient enough for hot food.

Why did the chip/burger van get the boot? and what could be done to get it back?

To be honest I never used the chip van cos it was waaaaay too expensive, so on that basis its no loss.

At the moment i dont think theres any hot food available, but as far as I know arrangemnets are being made to put that right.

[ramsfan]

recession lads, when the chips are down and all that;)

[Monkfish]

At the moment i dont think theres any hot food available,

Hot dogs, pot noodles, soup, tea and coffee are available along with your normal shop stuff.

Last time I went to the burger van they told me they didnt do chips and proceeded to charge me steak prices for a burger. :(

Apart from the hot-dogs, I wouldnt really classify any of the above as "food" (ok maybe the pot-noodles too :o).

Didnt think the hot-dogs were available yet, I'll have to give them a try next time :)

Pot noodle isn't food. Food tastes different when it's gone off.

Cup of tea and a mars bar could be classed as a hot meal! :)

so to answer my question then, no hot food provided (apart from hot-dogs) for a club looking to go forward both on and off the pitch.

surely supporters would look forward to bag of chips or burger on a cold friday night while watching the game!!!!!!!

So we're going backwards because we dont have a $hit in a tray merchant?
2 chippers within 2 mins of the gate and if that dont suit I suggest you all learn to cook. :p

typical answer...........ah well, you cant say I tried.

I think you have to be realistic as to the economic viability of such a stand. The average attendances aren't great-lets call a spade a spade!! On an average gate of 400, you'd be lucky if 70-80 people wanted to buy hot food. So, thats 80 people, spending an average of €8 a head. €640. Set up time, one hour before kick off, finish just before game end-thats 2.5 hours work, plus your running costs, plus the rent, plus cleaning costs, staff wages....you wouldn't be left with much of your €640. And thats being optimistic in saying 80 people would eat at the match.

As Monkfish said, 2 chippers within a stones throw of the ground...buy your grub on the way up or the way home.

I know for a fact the burger/chip van owner from last year wants to get back in for the home games (regardless of your figures above), and surely it would suit L37 to take a few bob from them to do so....................who would have to give this permission within L37?

I don't see what the big deal is with the previous chip van. The food from it was utter $hite and the prices were ridiculous - everything was way dearer than your average take way. And if memory serves me right, the Van got the boot because they were paying the club peanuts, if anything at all, for being at the ground. So, I would imagine that any re-admittance would involve a hefty rent fee on a per game basis, which as joesoap has said, wouldn't make it a hugely viable venture. Couldn't see the club allowing a chip van affect their own shop/hotdog sales unless they were getting well reimbursed for it. And if your man with the van charged anymore for the burgers..........
