Football Food

Pochettino failed to win the league with PSG. If anyone is going to get Manchester United relegated, it is him… 😅

Steak in a roll and a double sausage on the go at SV Waldhof Mannheim 07 U21 💶 €4 and €3 (£3.40 and £2.60). Two sausages hanging out of one bun for three euros at an under-21s game is proper value. That steak's had a serious going over on the grill too, and it looks all the better for it.

This Spanish fan was NOT impressed with what they got at the Czech Republic game last night... they were handed this chicken panini 💶 €8 (£7) Two thin strips of chicken and a slab of orange cheese for seven euros. That's a long way to travel for that.

Steak and ale pie, mash, gravy and peas at Stockport County for £5.50 💷 Proper filling, proper gravy and a decent amount of mash for under a sixer. Plenty of grounds charge more than that for a soggy pie on its own.

Chicken tikka, chips, curry sauce and salad at Aston Villa 💷 £12.99 That's a proper heap of chicken piled on top, not a few token bits hiding under the chips. Not cheap, but for football grub this is a lot more than a sad pie and a lukewarm Bovril.

Christmas dinner in a bowl at Newcastle United: festive loaded fries with pigs in blankets, chicken, stuffing and cranberry sauce piled on chips & gravy. 💷 £9.80 That's a proper bit of matchday scran for under a tenner, and the pigs in blankets alone make it worth the queue. Far better than another lukewarm pie at half-time.

Barnsley have gone full festive early 🤩 Yorkshire pudding wrap 💷 £8.95 Pigs in blankets with gravy 💷 £4.95 That wrap is packed with sausage, meat, stuffing and cranberry sauce, so £8.95 for a full Christmas dinner you can eat in your seat is decent value by football ground standards. Get both and call it a proper matchday 🤝

Double chicken burger with cheese at Newmarket Town for £7.50 💷 Two breaded fillets and that much melted cheese pouring down the sides, served on a paper plate with a stack of napkins. That's a proper matchday feed, and a fair price for something that'll keep you going through both halves.

Philly cheesesteak at Sheffield Wednesday, yours for £5 💷 That's a proper slab of steak rather than the usual thin shavings, and for a fiver at the football you can't really grumble. Might not pass in Philadelphia, but it'd do me at half-time.

Tandoori chicken pie at Rochdale AFC 💷 £2.50 Rammed with filling right to the crust, and the price hasn't been daft either. Proper effort.

A slice of bread spread with lard, topped with onions and a dusting of paprika, served up at MTK Budapest 🇭🇺 350 huf (80p). Simple, cheap and probably more filling than half the stadium food at home.

A sausage loaded with sauerkraut, roasted onions and Ajvar at Malmö IP 🇸🇪 62 SEK (£5) for something that size, hanging off both ends of the bun. Hard to argue with that.

A sausage, a slice of bread and a beer at FC Hlucin (Czech Republic), with a dollop of mustard on the side and the evening sun over the pitch. 🇨🇿 110 koruna (£3.80) for the lot. Hard to argue with that.

Winchester City FC serve up the sally special: a double cheeseburger with sausage and bacon stacked on top. 💷 £9 The bun's barely holding the lid on that lot.

Two options on the menu at Scunthorpe United: salt and pepper chicken with curry sauce and rice, or a doner kebab with chips, pitta and chilli sauce. £6 each 💷 Proper portions for that money, and both beat a soggy pie.

Christmas dinner on a bed of chips at Leeds United (@LUFC) – turkey, pigs in blankets, stuffing and gravy, all loaded on top. 💷 £7.50 For that price, it's a proper festive feed.

£14.00 gets you this box of Greek treats near St Mary's Southampton 💷🤤 Pitta, halloumi, chips, tzatziki, Greek salad and two types of meat in one box. That's a proper pre-match feed.

A £5 hot dog at Newcastle United... 💷 No onions, no sauce, just a sausage lying in a bun that's clearly too big for it.

A kebab platter at GIF Sundsvall for 99kr 🇸🇪 (£7.90). Meat piled high, chips, salad, both sauces and a wooden fork to tackle it with. That's a proper bit of matchday scran for under eight quid.

Huddersfield Town doing roast potatoes with a beef brisket gravy 🥔 💷 £4.50, or £7.50 with a pint Proper chunks of brisket in that gravy too. Plenty of clubs charge more for a lot less.
