I do remember them hitting the spot nicely, even though we were starved coz we were meant to eat in Supermacs before we went on the bus in Galway, but we were late. Memories:D
We bought a loaf of bread for the Harps v Dundalk play-off and went in and bought a load of soup and stood on the end terrace as happy as could be,everyone was looking at us.Great soup
It doesn't count as a ground or anything but most of my eating on away trips is done in Josephines and the chipper in Durrow :D
I think the best food I had on an away trip was at a chipper we stopped in, in Kilkenny on the way home from Waterford away last season.
Burger and chips. Meat in burger was perfect and the chips couldn't have been nicer.
We went to the pub next door as well and the barman gave us a great deal on a few bottles for the rest of the journey home.
Agreed, but not a problem any more. The chip van has gone and rolls, sambos etc now available in the clubhouse. Haven't tried it yet.Quote:

Slightly off topic I know but you have to be prepared in case another club plays Motherwell in Europe:p
Unless I am really desperate the only food I buy is at Dalymount/Tolka Burdocks as it is safe enough & I know what I will get. I have noticed that no more Burdocks for away fans this year in Tolka though.
Does any one know what happened Rocketman as I don't remember seeing him last season?
Another tragic casualty of Summer Soccer I'm afraid :(Quote:

The "Wagon of Death" in United Park is woeful.:eek:
A definate candidate for worst food at an EL ground.
IMO no better or worse than food at any other out door event.Quote:

Never can or could be bothered to eat when i am on my travels, id rather drink more, after all eatings cheating :D
A proper chinese or Indian the next night is something to look forward too...
Think it depends who you end up with, you either have the alco party type fan or the pie eating food sniffing type who would stand for an hour for a small bag...

On a semi-related note;
Has anyone ever actually seen a pie on sale at a match in Ireland....even if you wanted to eat all the pies you couldn't...
