Man United, Brighton, Thackley: Best and worst of football stadium food
Grabbing a pie and pint at the football is an intrinsic part of the sport – especially at grassroots level.
Many fans love picking up some food and drink before, during or after a game to supplement their viewing experience.
Indeed, documenting your experience at the stadium is now a growing phenomenon on social media, with Twitter account ‘Footy Scran’ – scran being a slang word for food – asking supporters to rate and slate football clubs’ offerings.
