I've just been trying to find audio of the call to Danny Baker from a chef who carried his knives into a ground

The best one on that was some Scottish non league punter being told he couldn’t take some
Nonsensical thing into the ground by the turnstile operator when he waved through a bloke behind him who was carrying a rifle as the local gun club was behind the away stand.

They'll never get this catering malarkey sorted at VP.  Every single time you try and get stuff, it seems as if the person serving you (if you are lucky) is doing their first ever shift, which is probably true.  I've given up buying stuff in the ground, waste of time and money.

At half time yesterday I asked for 2 pints of lager and 2 ciders. The girl behind the bar just looked at me completely baffled. I looked at the board and said ‘We’ll have the strongbow dark fruits cider’.
‘That’s OK....’ she said ‘....But what is lager?’

Of course I helped her out & explained what was what from the board, but I am still marvelling at the fact that she managed to get over 2 hours into a bar shift without knowing what lager was!

It was the like the searches that appeared after the cabbage incident and then re-appeared last year. Pointless, either do them properly or dont bother. A tap in the side of the arm does’t really indicate a thorough search.

It won't be long before you can't take food into a Premier League ground. One of them will come up with a spurious safety reason and before long they'll all introduce it.

.I remember going to the Ramblin Man festival (RIP) a couple of years ago and watching a student after his 5 minutes of training, pour me 3 pints of Trooper.
The attempts at pouring were passable but he didn't know what £5.10 x 3 was so I had to tell him!

Was it £2.70?
