Food and drink in the stadium

Post by EH16 »

Can someone clarify for me the current process on match days? Is the swipe station thing still a thing? Do you have to use it? Can you just queue and pay as normal.

Thanks (and for all the non helpful replies - why did you bother?)

Nigel, Kent, Richie and Mark Devlin all take a stand each and between 1.30-2pm you have to pay one of them for a voucher (cash only). They give you food and drink vouchers which are worth half of what you paid for them to spend in the ground. They also run a UV light over your hands to ensure there's no traces of garlic mayo from 5 lads and can get a bit shirty if anything shows up.

Good luck.

AFAIK you can queue as normal but you have to pay by card for everything except the match programme.

Mainly for 2 reasons;
1) they make less effective missiles when thrown
2) should the stadium need to be evacuated in an emergency the bottles with a lid on aren’t a trip hazard as a lidless bottle will just collapse under foot

Funny thing is that bottles of drink bought nowadays come with the tops attached by a piece of plastic, something to make them more environmentally friendly I think 🤔
