gonzo Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Back when the Reebok opened you had the hot dog and burger vans outside - even that shit would represent an improvement The set up at old Trafford is fuckin brilliant. There’s so much more the club could do to improve the match day experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieb Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 The pre match burger /beer vans that opened up to form a little market outside Sporting Lisbon was top. We should try something like that on the arena approach selling 5 quid pints of carling and stale pies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork barms from the stall by the away end at Sunderland...tip fuckin top Thinking back to great days at Burnden, a lot of the atmosphere of the build up stemmed from what was on the way to the ground, from burger vans to Rice'n'Easy.

bolton va va Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Pork scratchings at Wolves & West Brom............maybe not !! I agree that part of the lack of atmosphere at the ground is down to the lack of burger vans, badge sellers & that kind of thing.....didn't they even stop the sale of fanzines.

Bang on I’ve said it before on here, like Satan alludes to above it all adds to the matchday experience. Grounds like goodison, old Trafford etc are ace. Proper feels like you’re at a match. I really do wonder why fans bring so many to our place. It’s fuckin shit. Get some burger vans set up, badge and scarf sellers, open harvester for away fans. Make it a proper ground. It’s half the reason I can’t bring myself to drink in the hotel before the game. It’d be easier, but it’s meant to be a matchday. There’s so much more the club could do, with little cost and consultation with fans to make it a just a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Mush as I despise the Massives the City Square setup is brilliant for home fans Thousands eating and boozing yards away from the ground at every match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I’ve posted it before but how the fuck in the space of 6-7 years did we go from aldershot and selling half the embankment to survive to having the funds to build the reebok? When actually think how little time that is it’s fuckin bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
