You go to a game without having something to eat or drink, but what is it you have to have every saturday and why? Coffee and \mars bar myself

5 cups of coffee cos it's so freezing! all the other hot drinks don't give that particular buzz!

nice cup of steaming hot bovril 4 me :clap:

Flask full of Boveril or Oxo with a tablespoon full of brown of Fruity HP sauce stird in

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that sounds well mingin

Bovril and Pie should be an option for folk as old as me.........................

Saturday football ritual:

6 pints

3 before, 3 after, go home, have a nap. Go out, end up significantly worse for wear.

I'll miss these saturdays with my dad, was the only thing we can agree on!

When I could be arsed to go down the Lane, I'd shove three, four or sometimes five Tetleys down my throat in the Cremorne before the match.

Very often it was the highlight of the day.

Occasionally, we wouldn't lose and so it would result in a celebratory drink that same evening. Ofcause, more often it would be an evening of drowning one's sorrows.

The net result (no pun intended) would be that come the early hours of Sunday morning, I'd be well-oiled, irrespective of the result.

These days, Sky TV gives me the freedom to watch the match in comfort, without getting cramp in my knees from 'sitting' on the Kop (or rather, for 'sitting' read 'being folded-up'), saving a load of money and having instant access to a fridge filled with chilled beer.

It also negates the need to go out and get wrecked after the game, as the effects of a skinfull of ale DURING the match often sees bedtime coming somewhat earlier than it did in the days of actually attending a match.

Part-time supporter? Probably. Full-time p155-head? You bet.:thumbsup:

Incidentally, to answer the question:

Stella.

I take a flask of coffee.... help get rid of the taste of the pies..:hihi: (not as if i ever have a pie though?):heyhey:

For me it's booze all the way. I like to have between 3 n 5 pints before I go in and then maybe 1 or 2 at half time (depending on how the match is going) then maybe 2 or 3 or 4 after. Having said that, occasionally I go with no booze if I'm feeling brave/hungover:hihi:

used to always drink bovril as a kid (I never got pies though :( ). if I do go nowardays I find by halftime I need booze.

Soakage, man.

A pie.

Unless it's at Darlington. I can never get used to them lizard pies. :hihi:

.

As to be about 3 pints of carling b4 the game, then as many as it takes to get me legless after the game.

Two Stellas before then a pie and bovril.

Spot on!

A beer usually and i always have a pie !!! At hillsbro they've started doing pies with mushy peas in them ..hhmmmm!!

But they run out quick , but if its the middle of winter i have a bovril and a mars bar !!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

I can't believe it took 7, yes SEVEN, posts before beer was mentioned.

Football, beer, beer, football....

Surely nobody would drink bovril sober?
