Half-time heaven

Questionable burgers

Luton: Dean Domerecki declared: 'After last season's rating (not very good at all) I wondered whether the knives would be out for us, at least metaphorically-speaking. The two food stalls tucked away in the back corners of the stand looked just like they did last year, as did the burgers and pies in the pie warmers - in fact, judging from their semi-cremated appearance they might even have been the same ones. However, appearances can be deceptive and the cheeseburger and coffee (£1.80 and 80p) were perfect if you were prepared to overlook cold onions, and I was feeling generous. I don't know why, as from my seat 20 yards behind the goal, I sat in silent contemplation of the three parts of the back of the net that had been disturbed by Luton in the first half. Perhaps it was the fantastic late-summer weather or the atmosphere generated by our vocal and enthusiastic following that did it (and Jacko always seems to have a good match at Luton) - I'm not sure. Only the result, it seems, didn't satisfy.'

Colchester: Peter Williams said: 'Tea and coffee of a satisfactory standard, but cheeseburger rather tepid, and, unforgivably, NO PIES!'

Aberystwyth: Huw Griffiths reports: 'My burger cost £2 from a van that was parked by the pitch. It was reasonably warm when I sank my teeth into it, but I felt it was a lot of roll and not enough burger. Having said that, I was starving, and it did taste quite good. The slice of cheese and onions complemented it nicely, although they were a bit stingy with the ketchup. Burger King down the road have nothing to fear, but I've tasted much worse in many league grounds. 7/10.'

Gillingham: Dean Domerecki states: 'For those of you who don't like the Pryce Griffiths Stand, and yearn nostalgically for a three-sided ground and a building site, this game was for you. Behind the terrace was one man in a little van serving hot food and drinks with a little picnic table to one side with milk, sugar, sauces etc. Very heartening in fact to see this individual honestly striving to improve his and his fellow man's condition - not like the surly youth you find at some other grounds. I had a cheeseburger (£2.20) and a coffee (70p) - both excellent.' Daniel Jennings revealed: 'The cheeseburger I had cost £2.20. It was actually quite tasty.'
