Burndens Bogs Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Just serve bottles, at least we’ll have something to chuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 One thing that would help the queues is the hot drinks situation. Two slow machines (one of them usually broken) between 5/6 tills is useless. Bring back the hot taps on each till and jobs a good un given the Bovril and tea are in the cups already.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted February 5, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2022 I don’t often get a pint at half time, it’s freezing when I’m already cold and it’s crap. Without a doubt, I’d prefer cans or plastic bottles, at least you know what your getting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Bar anyone queuing for; Bovril, crisps, tea, coffee, twixes, hotdogs, pies, pop etc. There's plenty places on the retail park to get them. So go there before. Fuck ale off completely and serve only spirits and fortified wines, maybe bottles of Duval. I used to beat the pre-match queue by nipping to Asda and getting two bottles of Duval, one would get drunk crossing the car park, one would be smuggled in and drank surreptitiously stood against a pillar/girder, then when the queue had died down I'd buy a couple of pints of their piss, tastebuds now stunned by the Belgian stuff. When I've occasionally gone in the West, I have took a flask of heavily laced irish coffee, it's quite magical getting steadily pissed in the stands and no-one knows any wiser (taps nose) - and I never use instant. The problem is it's so delicious I've drank the lot by halftime so end up buying a couple of pints of their catpiss anyway. Why are we not allowed to drink in the stands, isn't it permitted at rugger bugger games? It's ludicrous.

Members Rudy Posted February 5, 2022 Members Share Posted February 5, 2022 Bottles. Simple. Contactless payment only Cider, lager, some grapefruit IPA for the OAP hipsters Buy half-time beer tokens, separate part to go and pick up Use the bookies for food kiosks. Its not rocket science Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kids and no women unless they can keep up with the men (drinking wise) and without starting crying and listening to Adele. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bog off you! Where on the retail park can I get a Bovril? In fact, where outside a football ground can I get it? Does seem daft though that when I order it, it takes a minimum of 2 staff to sort it. It's taken 3 on the odd occasion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a jar from Asda - then barge into the cafe, get a cup and spoon and make it with water from the geyser.

I actually enjoyed Fosters once, it was ice cold on a hot day in the ESL in the pre-season match against Olympiakos - feet up on the seat in front, it was very civilised. I never had a pint at Burnden, was there even a bar under The Paddock? I would occasionally make a flimsy excuse to be let out (and back in) to adjourn to the King Bill at half-time for a pint or three. I'd always get there about ten seconds before kickoff so no scope for a pint in the ground, there was sommat magical about walking up the ramp and the pitch coming into view, they missed a trick by not having 'This is Burnden' signs on those ramps for us to touch. It was less magical hoiking your jeans up and walking a gauntlet of kerbstones above a lake of piss when you went for a piss. I can only presume the mentally unwell had a shit there.
