141. Author: StevenPar77 Date: Wed 23rd Jul 2025. 20:11 The board showed the soft drinks as being £2.50 but I was only charged £1.90 so I assumed it was an opening night discount. To be fair, the boy didn`t even pour the entire drink into my cup, to which the lady in charge kindly reminded him that he needed to pour all the drink into the cup. I may well have been his first customer! Reply |

143. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Wed 23rd Jul 2025. 21:29 Dave_1885, Wed 23 Jul 20:36 Yeah, it is and it’s the reason I’ll not be using it. It’s £4 at Hampden, which I find crazy. If people want to spend that, then fill your boots but it’s not for me. I would be over £16 for a pie, drink and a biscuit for me and my son, that’s ridiculous IMHO. Reply |
144. Author: buffy Date: Wed 23rd Jul 2025. 21:36 It is, Dave. After having some thoughts about it all ~ in the cold light of day and some sleep ~ there was too much juice in the big plastic cup. It was flimsy too and I didn’t put it up on the ledge in the Pb because I thought some poor souls on the steps would get a right soaking if it tipped over. I didn’t finish the juice because there was too much (no’ like me) and I do like Pepsi Max. The only drinks options for kids (I think) were the capri sun; or perhaps there’s a chance of asking for a smaller cup? Lids would be handy, I agree. A couple of pals had the Killie pies. They said they were great. I had my eye on the Sammy double biscuit though. Next time, Sammy. 🤪 ”Buffy’s Buns are the finest in Fife”, J. Spence 2019” Reply |

146. Author: red-star-par Date: Wed 23rd Jul 2025. 22:21 Just reading the title of this thread, "Catering link up" has made me think, there should be link sausages on rolls, bacon rolls, maybe square sausage on a roll. That`s the sort of stuff I like. Good healthy grub Reply |
147. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Wed 23rd Jul 2025. 22:51 So my bill was £20.50 2 bridies 1 pie 1 Bovril 1 double biscuit 1 coffee About a 3 quid rise from last season as I would order pretty much the same. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte ![]() Reply |
148. Author: jake89 Date: Wed 23rd Jul 2025. 22:59 Prices will be higher but also quality better. It seems daft they`re emptying bottles into cups. I`m pretty sure Falkirk have the kiosks set up to do draught drinks. Surely this works out cheaper and allows the option for small/medium/large? Although I really rate the Brownings bridies and pies, it would be good to see some options from local firms like Baynes and Stuart`s. Reply |

154. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Sat 26th Jul 2025. 10:08 Do folks eat at football matches because they are hungry or is it because it’s tradition? If it’s the latter, then do those people buy popcorn and hot dogs etc, when they go to the cinema? ![]() It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
155. Author: ubisanman Date: Sat 26th Jul 2025. 10:16 Wonder what the deal between the caterer and the club looks like? I know Pie Sports (who i think do it all really professionally) pay PTFC a premium per head based on the official attendance. Around a quid from what I heard. So 3,000 attendance, £3k to the club. I suspect the caterer is largely responsible for the infrastructure improvement/setup costs too. Bigger ovens and contactless payments = larger range, more pies and quicker sales! My daughter has sold pies at Firhill the past few seasons and this season they`ve only just got Juice guns in rather than pouring from bottles. It can take time for stuff like this to get put in place. We can`t expect vast improvements overnight. Reply |
156. Author: jake89 Date: Sat 26th Jul 2025. 12:16 Pie Sports is run by the same family who own Stephens. Maybe Pie Sports is like the Audi of the family while we were getting the Skoda? Reply |
157. Author: P Date: Sat 26th Jul 2025. 12:35 Ianoappar, Sat 26 Jul 09:59 If I go to the Odeon I pay £7.99 for nachos, if I go to Morrisons a bag of Doritos can be £1.25 & a jar of nacho cheese for £1.50 - food always has an increase in price to consume on premises compared to buying in a supermarket 🤷🏻♂️ Reply |
158. Author: neils Date: Sat 26th Jul 2025. 12:59 Morrisons don`t need to throw away bin bags of unsold pies at the end of each day, also, their business is more than one hour a week, as the kiosks basically are (I`m guessing the staff get paid for more than a single hour) Reply |
159. Author: DBA Date: Sat 26th Jul 2025. 13:28 neils, Sat 26 Jul 12:59 I don`t think they threw away any pies on Tuesday, considering they were sold out before half time! The kiosks are also open from 1pm until around 4:15pm so hardly one hour. Reply |
160. Author: Berry Date: Sat 26th Jul 2025. 13:29 Wouldn’t be surprised if the catering sells out earlier today. Assuming it’s open during the alcohol period in the Norrie. Reply |
