steak pies were fine
Yeah I heard that there's been some delays. One of those friend of a friend type stories though soThe blue sky lounge works that’s ongoing.
Don’t think it’s to open until the end of the year I think. Loads of work still ongoing as far as I’m aware.
But happy to give it to the robbing bastards outside where Rangers get nothing from it.I always just a grab a burger or chips and curry sauce from one of the vans outside. I refuse to hand over my hard earned on the shite they serve up at the kiosks.
I don't see how you can take issue with someone using a burger van to get some decent food at a lower cost than the kiosks who quite frankly should be wearing ski masks! £3.20 for a drink in a white and green cup with no ice!But happy to give it to the robbing bastards outside where Rangers get nothing from it.
Easy enough taking a bottle of water or juice in with you.I am sure I got stung for £2.40 for a carton of water as well
Had a cold burger at the spurs game for 6.50.Gave them the opportunity at the Spurs game , nothing left at half time , won’t be trying again , food before the game for me.
the stuff outside the stadium is edibleBut happy to give it to the robbing bastards outside where Rangers get nothing from it.
Well maybe they should improve on the inside catering then.But happy to give it to the robbing bastards outside where Rangers get nothing from it.
I pick my 8yr old son up at 5pm, bus at 5:30pm, then we don't get back home till 10:30pm. Even if I do bring some sandwiches, he will still want something hot to eat at half time.You're presuming everyone is in easy reach of Glasgow. Often our fans have travelled longer times than the duration of the game already and will settle for whatever and whatever cost .
I'll also add a lot of our Glasgow fans underlook just how much of our fanbase don't live in Glasgow and never did. A couple hours at the game is a day trip for some and an absolute nightmare on weeknights
Or compare with the cinemas?Anyone going to the football and buying food deserves all they get. Eat before you go or take a snack with you.
Preferably cold!Not enough stock and the queues take ages. There also should be separate water sales around the stadium. You should not need to queue for 15-20 minutes for bottles of water. Water sales should be scattered around the stadium with single kiosks here and there sellling bottled water only.
Spot on mate , I leave the house at roughly 730am for a 3pm kick off, and don't get home till 10pm ..have to eat either at the stadium or in the vicinity.You're presuming everyone is in easy reach of Glasgow.

The burgers outside the stadium are decent enough. They all use the same shitey low quality chips though.the stuff outside the stadium is edible
the majority in the kiosks inside isnt
Have you tried the burgers?For it to be actually worse now than last season?
Has anyone seen the ‘burgers’?
It's not impossible to prepare food in advance of a long journey.You're presuming everyone is in easy reach of Glasgow. Often our fans have travelled longer times than the duration of the game already and will settle for whatever and whatever cost .

Every single place you mentioned has “silly little display stands that holds a dozen packs of crisps”The sheer lack of ambition by the catering company is jaw-dropping.
There are limitations on what can be cooked and held in the cabinets at the back, but the silly little display stand that holds about a dozen bags of crisps and about 20 chocolate bars is pitiful.
A research trip to the likes of Greggs, Subway, Boots, Superdrug, Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsburys, Nero, Costa, Starbucks etc and it’s obvious lots of other items justify selling space, not just the core food items.

I'm no expert on the subject, but, my understanding would be that would require every person who works in the kiosks to have food hygene certificates etc. I don't think they need to have them to pull a pie out of a heater and give it to you.Might be a draft question, I know we can't have fryers due to space / ventilation, but why can't we use air fryers instead? They'd make a fortune churning out chips, wedges, air fried chicken wings etc.
Did they pour it into a cup?I am sure I got stung for £2.40 for a carton of water as well
Well said mate. Folk moaning at other folk eating at the game is bizarre and patheticI get that it's fair to have a moan if food is over-priced and crap. It should be possible to sort out a reasonable balance of quality and cost.
What I don't get is the moany buzz-kills who don't think that enjoying a bit of food or a drink at a sporting event should not be a fair part of the package. "Why can't you go 90 minutes without eating?"
I can, but I might not want to. I might enjoy a burger or a beer while I'm at a game. It might be a rare treat for the kids. They might expect a hot-dog when they go to the football or a movie. Maybe we should ban ice-cream at the beach? "Can you not just wait until you're back in the house?"
Shitey argument.
Love the sound of that black pudding roll though.
Same thing happened to me, 14 quid for a program water and chocolate. Is there any way we can chase refunds?£4.70 for a Fanta and chocolate bar.
Apparently the card payment declined as the card reader was ‘faulty’, 2nd card reader worked fine, 2 payments out of my bank the sneaky f_ckers.
Had one on Tuesday in the SJR and it was the worst burger I’ve ever had.Have you tried the burgers?
It’s a million times better than last season. Anyone expecting gourmet burgers at the football is always going to be disappointed
'Coming soon' according to the sign. No idea when that is though.When's that black rooster opening?
We would need about 2000 or soMight be a draft question, I know we can't have fryers due to space / ventilation, but why can't we use air fryers instead? They'd make a fortune churning out chips, wedges, air fried chicken wings etc.

Been coming soon for a week.'Coming soon' according to the sign. No idea when that is though.
At the prices of them they bloody should be!Have you tried the burgers?

They ran out of stuff one game an hour before it even started with crowds barely in. That’s not managing based on previous sales.Why are people trying to compare food kiosks at a football stadium to Greggs, cinemas or other outlets? Rangers play, at most, twice a week at Ibrox with zero footfall inbetween the very, very small windows for sales. It is so bloody obvious it should not need pointing out that food outlets with daily opening hours, designed to serve food for 8 hours of every single day, can far better manage stock, supply and demand and be able to make sure that they hold what is needed for pretty much all circumstances.
The operators of the kiosks can only really buy stock dependent on previous sales and with such a small window to sell stuff, zero chance of extending those windows to allow chilled or held over food to be sold the following day, or even the following hour, it is blindingly obvious that margins are tight, wastage has to be kept to an absolute minimum and selling out is the perfect outcome for them.
Obviously things like cold drinks are needed, but even that requires fridges to be running for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for a 1 hour sales period per week, perhaps 2. It is just not cost effective.
Improvements can be made, and should be made, but it sounds like the choice is getting better and the food itself is improving so hopefully things are moving in the right direction.
There is also the biggest point; If you do not want to buy it, don't buy it.
On the one hand this, on the other I'm not sure what people are expecting from stadium food.Exactly, there's plenty reasons for people to opt for food at the game.
The match experience should be just that. An experience. It's not the 70s where you're going to a game and having someone piss down the back of your leg. Doing things like going to games in the modern day
It's an absolutely bizarre attitude the likes of @Bearsdenloyal shows when it comes to this sort of thing. People might want to enjoy a day out with the option of a bit of food. It's not a difficult concept.
It's not about going 4 hours without food. It's about making a day of your trip.
