I don't see any thread on this so I thought I'd get one started.
Maybe a poll is in order?
My favorite is Leo Burdock, but there are a number of grounds i havent been to and there are others that I have not eaten in.
And yes I am bored.

I remember one a while back....
Finn Park does great soup and cowboy suppers:D
Dalymount has the best chips
Havent tasted a Mon Dog yet:mad:
Absolutely none to be honest.
I haven't been in Ballybofey in about 5 years and I don't think they had food there that night for some reason.Quote:

Finn Park grub rocks, we have two chip vans this year...very tasty and cheap, as a Pats fan pointed out to me after celebrating in my face when they whipped us
So far this season the best grub i've had has been in Wexford for the League Cup. I had a nice munch after the Cork City game in Ramblers but that was simply because it was the first thing i'd eaten all day and I was ready to eat the wall.
Last season I found Burdocks chipper up in Tolka to be nice.
The best cup of soup can be found in the Ramblers club shop.
I have never eats anything decent in any eircom league ground, pathetic offerings at over priced rates. Turners Cross is very poor in my opinion. The standard is brutal. Dino's ... two minutes walk about is great, and Lennox probably the best in the city. Neither are in the ground.Quote:

I look forward to sampling it later on in the season so, if I make it up there.Quote:

Is that a regular in Flansiro?
They had them everywhere I think, Rocketman was what they were called. Free kitkat too.;)Quote:

Either that or go down the road to Dino's.
Oh man, that would be such a class idea.Quote:

Sadly since relegation hit Longford, Apache has done a runner:(Quote:

Not a complete surpise there I have to say. Not worth their while probably.Quote:

Two parents and three kids to get something half decent to eat would cost a fortune. Something the club dont have control over but that would seriously put off a family going again. That is my gripe. I go to Dinos or Lennox, parents cant be dragging their kids up there if they are parked up the direction (most probably) ..... thats what ticks me off about it. I want 10,000 at every home game.Quote:

:) Hotdogs in Flancare are quite nice.Quote:

Agreed, top chipper. By far the nicest take away I've ever had, anywhere.Quote:

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:

i have to get them next week!, by far the best chips i've had when rovers are playing away:DQuote:

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:

IMO no better or worse than food at any other out door event.Quote:

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...
