    Best Ground for Catering

    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 haven't been in Ballybofey in about 5 years and I don't think they had food there that night for some reason.

    Dalymount has the best chips
    The chips were nice last year alrite.

    Havent tasted a Mon Dog yet

    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.

    Edit: The best idea on this ever was in Waterford, where the Ghost Busters would walk around the stand with either tea or coffee so it was actually hot when you were drinking it. Cant remember the price but it was reasonable at the time.

    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    The best I have had was in Flancare Park last season. There was an Apache Pizza van. Lovely .

    Is that a regular in Flansiro?

    Turners Cross is a joke alright. Any of the food vans inside the ground are just Salmonela waiting to happen.
    Your best bet when your in the cross is to go outside the ground at half-time to the chipper van directly outside. It's sort of an untapped resource. Homemade chips and very reasonable prices.

    Either that or go down the road to Dino's.

    Oh man, that would be such a class idea.

    Would be class if the Supermacs truck that they always have at GAH matches came to Terryland. It would never fit though. Not a chance.

    Sadly since relegation hit Longford, Apache has done a runner

    Soup in Finn Park is nicest I've tried. Soup in Flancare is rotten.

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

    No way are they home made, and completely over priced. Rip off, pesky carton of chips and extortionate price. City fans have given up complaining about it.

    Make a few bread sandwiches before you leave, far nicer

    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.

    The SuperMacs van did make a brief appearance in Terryland Park a couple of seasons ago. They even had ice cream on sale but like sunny irish summers the idea didn't last long.

    Nicest chips I had at a LOI ground were from a chip shop on Navenny Street, Ballybofey at the halftime interval during a Finn Harps v United match.

    Hotdogs in Flancare are quite nice.

    Word of warning - keep away from the chips in Wexford

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