Actually you just sparked my memory into life again!Originally Posted by DonO'Bate
We did have chips, outside the ground, after the play-off semi-final first leg, a number of years ago in the First Division.
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

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

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.Hotdogs in Flancare are quite nice.
Word of warning - keep away from the chips in Wexford
Have not got them in a while but the chip van at the showgies makes great chips, heavily over-priced but stick some ketchup & salt on them and you wont complain!
i have to get them next week!, by far the best chips i've had when rovers are playing away
At the Derry Gretna match, at Fir Park, Motherwell we had the nicest fish and chips before the match in a chippie near the ground. A 5-1 victory is even better on a full stomach.
Slightly off topic I know but you have to be prepared in case another club plays Motherwell in Europe
Robbie Hedderman. Arguably the greatest Derry City player of all time...
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

You should ask the Italian guy to start making Piadina, serious tasty stuff. Rucola, stracchino and prosciutto crudo .... cant beat it !!
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.
I still miss Rocketman, and the Rockettes. I seem to remember they branched out into hot chocolate and Sunny Delight too. I think it was £1 for a coffee and kitkat.
Ceci n'est pas une signature
He's the assistant manager at Bray now.
Who Cares?!
Food at football grounds is universally muck. Usually either undercooked or burned to a crisp.
TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
The "Wagon of Death" in United Park is woeful.
A definate candidate for worst food at an EL ground.
IMO no better or worse than food at any other out door event.
Why anyone would take delight in frozen chips and mass produced cheap meat from a 'van' is beyond me....
Never can or could be bothered to eat when i am on my travels, id rather drink more, after all eatings cheating
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...

The steak pies under the Cooper stand were quality. Beats any i had in some of the bigger stadiums in England.
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...
Oh no not them again
The chip van is still there its just the Pizza van that has left us.
Read it again, he's on about Wexford.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
