Yeah, I don't really blame them for picking a guaranteed bonfire night spot - and I also get why the club might not pursue it if Farr's were contractually obliged to have a van outside the ground (I don't now if that is the case though) as it was going to be a poorly attended match. I think the broader point here for me is what I understand to be the exclusivity of the catering contract - I've banged this drum before, but I think the club have historically been very impressed by Bailey Farr as he's a young entrepreneur and works very hard, and only having to deal with one man on catering issues has made the club's life much easier. But it leads to situations like Saturday where I'm told in some stands the hot food ran out before kick off, presumably because nobody could eat outside the ground. These are minor erosions of the matchday experience, which as I've outlined elsewhere, I think have got worse in recent years.
I suspect the club's just treading water on this front for now - the promise for the new stadium, if it happens, is for a much more varied and interesting food offering, so maybe that's where all their energies are focused.
Anyway, it's not a big deal, but I do think the lack of variety on the food front is a drawback, and as @Gingermoods often points out - you only have to look at Footy Scran to see how far mobile food catering has become, and how old fashioned our approach has remained. We're far from the worst in that respect, there are some big hitting premier league teams who are much worse than us, but you know - things are going well on the pitch, and off of it in many, many ways (managerial situation notwithstanding), so I've gotta find something to moan about.
