All this 'eat elsewhere or don't eat at all' is missing the point completely.
As with so many other things, we seem to accept our ragbag image with a shrug of the shoulders. And then have a pint at the Welly (because the queues are too long at the Mem), and a steak bake at Greggs (coz the food is inedible at the Mem).
If the food and drink was good, decent value, and served with a hint of customer care, fans would be happy and the club would make more money.

Is it a coincidence that the pasties went right downhill directly after the horsemeat scandal was sorted out....

I've never eaten at the mem , my kids and I have lunch before we leave and have tea when we get home , we can usually cope for a couple of hours without food. Six and half hours out of the house for me each home game, and it's too early to have lunch before I leave.

I go to the chip shop on Gloucester Road opposite the petrol station before the match and only drink mainly coffees from the huts during the match.

Did anyone buy a Thatchers from the trolley in Irenes ? More froth coming out the pump than cider, the lady had to fill several cups first then pour each cup into one single cup in order to make pint, then when she was finished she took the frothy head of the pint off with her finger . Didn't have the heart to complain at the time as there was a long queue behind me and the till was playing up plus I was gagging for a drink I ended up tipping the top bit away and wiping the cup before consuming not good.

In regards to pricing certainly well over priced £1.50 for basically a can of coke which is poured into cup thats ripping customers off. They have us over a barrel as the Stadium rules state we are not allowed to bring cans or bottles in to the ground

The beer outlet behind the west has now turned into the half-time circus side show....
Yesterday it was like a cross between punch and Judy and the generation game....

It was also way too hot yesterday, surely wael and co should employ more staff to stand and fan us when it reaches a certain temperature during the match ?

On football review sites it was always a footnote to eat the pasties at BRFC ,they had a good reputation. Whats gone wrong with them over the years to end like this ?

Perhaps Rob Laurence's retirement has had an impact.

My son had the same experience - he was not impressed!

Went straight on the swally last night. Went out straight from work today only having breakfast. Patched dinner as it was a work thing and they're a bunch a smarmy bunch of lady gardens. Waited until finished work and went for a quick kebab heading for the train. Was chuffking knackered and there was a huge queue so I skipped that and went straight for the train. Still cant shake the craving for a kebab and still not ate other than a few monster munch. Finally perked up and told this burd who i was meeting at mine i was going for a drive and to get a kebab. She volunteers. Phones a shop, not open so says she'll go see what she can do.
So i has a quick forty winks and 30 minutes later she returns with a chuffking chicken and a pizza from Asda. Her hearts in the right place. But what the chuffks that all about. C'mon tae chuffk.
