Change Of Catering

[doune.SAINT]

I have been doing my work experiance as assistant groundsman at mcdiarmid an got told alot of usefull informTION 1 BEING THE CHANGE of catering next season.beacuase the elderly couple are set to sell up...the prices will be going up because as it stands we are the cheapest for food in scotland..

[Jamie_Beatson]

Prices going up would be bad news because we currently offer excellent value for money.

But I'll be happy if they bring back the legendary Dotty bar.

[Scobby_SJFC]

are we cheap?? I cant say ive noticed us being less than other places

[Jamie_Beatson]

Definitely. Our steak and gravy pies (which are absolutely top notch) are about £1.20. Anywhere else is around two quid. Sweets are a reasonable 50 or 60p compared to a pound elsewhere.

[stanley saint]

i do enjoy a good saints pie

[doune.SAINT]

I hope they get rid of the crap tea and coffee and do like other grounds and let me have a tea bag and put in my own milk - no more of that powdered rubbish.

Our steak and gravy pies (which are absolutely top notch) are about £1.20.

I can think of certain non-league grounds where £2.50 is the norm.

Magnificent chicken balti pies, but a scandalous price.

You been sampling the beer kegs??:confused:

[sign dave]

are the steak pies not a lot more these days?

what about alcohol free beer? i say alcohol free cos i know we will never get the real stuff, and it be good for ones imagination that we're all getting drunk at the game, where in actual fact we will have come to McD sloshed from the 208

WOW. I normally hate the grammar police but this is barely readable.

Thanks for the update though! It's been a couple of years since my last McD visit....

....Tell me the dotty bars haven't gone?!?

[SaintSam1884]

A change of catering could well mean a change in quality of food - for the worse!

[Dev]

Prices up and quality down I would imagine. The pies at McDiarmid are great and the cheapest I've seen anywhere.

Please, please don't let us end up with catering like they have at Dens.

[blueheaven]

Saints catering is terrific, and I've often noticed how cheap it is compared to away grounds too. I think Dundee and Stirling Albion have the worst catering that I've experienced.

Do Saints still sell those rubbish sausage rolls though? Apart from them, the food's always been great - especially during the late 90s golden era of pizza slices on little plastic plates, Dotty bars, Highlander crisps and blue popcorn. It was a fatty's paradise.

I for one am fed up of looking down at my offerings all too predictable hue; I don't care what the popcorn did to your insides, it made the next morning a pleasure.

[garydavidson]

saints are cheap but very slow and usually have very low supplies.

[ancientsaint]

Wots a "dotty bar" ?

Judging by the amount of pies they bin I find that hard to believe!

So doune.SAINT has been doing work experience at the ground and does not know who the 'elderly couple' are? You sure you heard all the right stories and that you were not fed a line as Jimmy Hogg is famous for his banter

I take it you are responsible for the sand then doune?

Is Jimmy Hogg still at the park? I thought he now works for Geoff in the house building business.

It's fair to say that GS Brown sub-contract him back to Saints quite a lot!

Jimmy does work for Geoff now, but also he and his wife Maureen run the kiosks at McD on a match day, that used to be run by Geoffs son and Jimmys Daughter

[doune.SAINT]

sort of LAUGH OUT LOUD
