Again you are going off piste! Again back to the 15 minutes Again no one is expecting Haute Cuisine! And no, in this case where the Pasty that started this thread is concerned, it is not adequate standard it's has been changed to sub standard! We all clearly know your thoughts on the lesser mortals that pollute your existence and degrade themselves by seeking sustenance in what ever form it might take at a football stadium food counter. Just stop frothing at the mouth with the same frustrations and move onto another thread. This one,as you have clearly demonstrated, is outside your personal experience so really should be of no interest to you and as such precludes you from pontificating to others.

Err no!! Just read lower page 3 of said thread. Thank you in advance.

Sponge or Fruit, Buttercream or Proper Icing?.................. Oh and don't pick up the soap!!

Naughty boys Morrison and Ranger stayed out of trouble long enough to net for their clubs.

No worries just Mr Claridge tomorrow night on the Beeb, or probably Sky after 10pm

Sunderland got the cattle prod up their jacksys at half time 4 goals to breeze past MK Dons

Palace out

Looks like they might: http://bfcst.org.uk/lindley-catering-forum/

If I pay £10 annual subs will my SWF live Webfeed stop freezing like this!!

Cripes that's torn it!!

Oh blooming heck, I have on my Replica Shirt, Three Quarter lengths and Reebok Cassics just to be rebellious!!

Excellent News! Well done Rickie. I think Rickie left a very good impression of himself on the England camp, I think he arrived and opened a window to let some stale air oot. Roy & Gary both could not speak highly enough of him.

Bloody hell you actually paid attention............. Stunned!!

Blimey you don't half blow out some hot air, in fact I bet you could start a fight in an empty room. You seem to have read far too much into my opening comment about a disappointing development in one item of hot food that is on offer at the stadium and that basically the club who in a roundabout way own the Catering company Halo would be losing out from mine and others monies as a result. But in your vain attempt to hijack the thread you decide to twist it into a position where you are perfect and no one should question anything you say and I am in a group of fat pigs who likes scoffing pies. So as it is really not sinking in to your head, or is going in and simply just flowing out the otherside as there is nothing to prevent it falling out. The Item in Question was a Pasty which previously was on a par with a Pasty you could buy from most Purveyors of such items, including in the County the Cornwall. This was replaced with a Pasty which was very much removed in quality from that previously sold in previous seasons, and at the same time the price went up. I made it perfectly clear that my eyes were wide open to the environment in which I was buying said product from. I also mentioned that I accepted that I would be paying over the odds for whatever I bought. No where did I mention that it was half time because anyone going down at half time and still expect to see the 90+ minutes of football, I am ACTUALLY there for, is living in cloud cuckoo land, 1st ever game at SMS made that abundantly clear. I also mentioned that for various reasons we get into Southampton at around 1:45 on a normal Saturday Matchday so the concourse was convenient over waiting to be served in a pub. So am I allowed to have something to eat before the match kicks off at 3pm when the last meal I had was breakfast at around 9-9:30am? You have also conveniently assumed that I was buying £11 of food for myself when My wife was mentioned who invariably having been at work that morning from 5:30am also would like something to eat before the game kicks off. And yes a simple little thing like a Perfectly acceptable Pasty at football stadia inflated prices being changed into something very disappointing, on top of being evicted out of our seats, drove me to make comment on an Internet forum where folks with a common interest come on to discuss this and that. That does not make me a "Din". As much as you like to think you are the owner of his website, you really didn't have to make any comment whatsoever about something which is on no interest to you apart from to massaging your own ego and casting assumptions of the physicality of folks who do something you choose not to. I never thought that a post about a pasty would still be going on Tuesday and hit 3 pages!!

I thought that I had seen somewhere that Dean Hammond had his contract paid up by the club.

Who's supposed to be apologising? Never once claimed I wanted Silver Service. And I made myself look a Dinlo, the only stupid thing that I did was post it on a Saturday night.

So Turkish if you have amusingly witnessed the slide of Saints Catering arm, Halo, through Johnny Bognor ranting at you that corners are being cut. Why not share empathy rather than joining the playground bullies in the belittling the subject of this thread? That's more a question for yourself rather than posting a reply on here for all. ANYWAY. This did make me smile on the Food Hygiene rating website: http://www.scoresonthedoors.org.uk/business/halo-catering-southampton-693888.html Confidence in Management.......!

Probably incredulous at the lack of protection that he is now getting from match officials after years of getting away with it at Man U. Despite Jose apologising, O'Shea was still intent on getting the ref to punish Jose.

It has never previously cost £11 to buy something for me and my Wife before the match (as it appears that some folks think I was eating it all myself) it has been under a tenner, the disappointment of the product now sold compared to the previously acceptable product emphasised the point of the cost. And like I said in the opening post having a degree of disposable income I have accepted that in a football stadium environment I will pay a premium for generally substandard fare. The previously sold Pasty stood above the other hot "foodstuffs" on offer. I won't be so lazy from now on and like you take my own lunch in future. This thread would have been so very different if it had been about the beer being changed from Stella Artois to Carling and the price being put up.

A rather bizarre bit in the Programme entitled "Catching up with Jos Hooiveld" on a page facing the Junior Saints section. Jos answers some rather inert questions, the last one asks: Would you prefer to fight a Duck Sized Horse or a Horse Sized Duck?? His reply "Duck Sized Horse, can't kick me in the nuts".

My heads in the Lions mouth already tonight: so cobblers to it.............. Too big! Perfect for sitting in the padded seats in the Itchen but crap for everyone else especially those of us who use to eat the splendid Pasties they use to sell at St Mary's!!

Shouldn't he really be on the late shift with Manish?

Obvoiusly my opening comment is attracting some smart mouthed comments to great mirth. Maybe a Matchday habit being cheapened was the stupid little thing that just touched a nerve with a group of people who have sat together in the same seats for 10 years only for this summer when they came to renew their season tickets find that they have been evicted from those seats with no warning, communication or apology for the inconvenience from the club: and along with it the breaking up of long established matchday friendships.

The Pasty was pretty disappointing. Your earlier response was a bit tiresome and a poorly aimed shot at something that obviously has no real interest to you, but as usual you hear the clip clop of goat hooves on the bridge above your head and out you pop!!

You live in such a perfect world, if this thread is so inconsequential to you why bother to comment with such banal rubbish, aside from massaging your uber fan ego by keeping up your internet forum post count up. Just resist the urge and move on. Stadium catering is part of the package presented by the football club, whilst I was stuffing my "fat face" no football was being played so my viewing of football was no effected, my getting my face in the trough happens before the game kicks off. Living out of the city the concourse catering has been convenient as other factors see us get to the stadium around 1:45pm on a normal matchday. Having disposable income we have lived with the expense of what was a pretty good Pasty and a drink. All football clubs will squeeze their fans as much as they can, but when, in this instance, they de-spec something to the point of highlighting how far they are pulling your trousers down then that is not sound business.
