Here's a picture of an empire biscuit...made with buttery shortbread biscuits, just the right amount of tangy jam inside and sweet melt in your mouth icing. And it has the Thistle badge on the front of it made from edible icing! It also tastes amazing. Can you buy this scrummy treat at Firhill on match day? No of course not, you need to go to Rugby Park in Kilmarnock to get one! Their fake pitch may be crap but they make an effort with the food on offer. Not perfect, but better than any other ground I've been to in recent years. Why can't we do stuff like this? I'm totally scunnered with the £2.20 "cheesy bean" pie I get every week. Not as bad as the St Mirren one granted, but it's still cack. Surely it wouldn't be that difficult to offer something a bit nicer or different to the norm. Seem to remember our Chairman apologising for the skanky fare on offer in a match programme a couple of seasons ago and giving us his utmost assurances that it would be sorted out. Thanks David! It might not seem that important but I believe if you improved the match day experience for punters, they will come (and pay their £22) It's not just the food either - I keep thinking about this brilliant eye opener of a post regarding the recent cup match from kji7 - I can have a drink if I go to a gig, the theatre, a pub or a club. I can have a drink at English football matches or if I wear a suit and pay hospitality prices at Scottish football. Why can't normal punters have a drink? Half the crowd (if not more) are in the pub immediately prior to the game anyway. Also agree with the recent points made about the stadium being neglected. Why do VIP areas get improved but not those of the paying punters? Value for money and good facilities is crucial for any entertainment on offer in the current financial climate and kji7 is spot on- football clubs are getting it so badly wrong at the moment
