Worst bogs (bar Southport, of course) have to be any of the hundreds of al fresco affairs in the Scottish Junior game. It'd be a disservice to actually call them toilets. Unless, of course, anyone knows differently?
Best pies? Most Scots folk would say Killie pies, and it's hard to disagree with that, but the bridies at Pollok, and the onion scotch pies at Auchinleck take some beating.
I understand from my esteemed comrade, Barra Lad, that the scran on offer at Kidderminster is superb.
Any others? and no, we can't include the infamous prawn butties at Old Trafford.... |

Worst bogs I have found were in the away end at Swindon. Nasty, just nasty.
Best food so far was Kidderminster.
Not just a good taste but so hot I had to wait for ages before I could eat it.
But it was well worth the wait. _________________ I am not gas, I am a Pirate.

Worst bogs were at the Manor Ground (Oxford) or Elm Park (Reading), Swindon as mentioned are also pretty basic as were the ones at Layer Road (Colchester).
Pies - dont eat them, they are always 100 degrees and tasteless! |

Chesterfield away is pretty grim in the loo stakes. I vaguely remember Birmingham away in the early 90's was rank too
Just as an aside - Yeovil's were/are fantastic. Even had small flower displays in there!
London Road home end is possible the worst |

Worst bogs - on the away end at Plough Lane in the 1980s, and some open air contraption in a corner at the Old Show Ground. I once looked up from my *cough* urinating, and saw a old woman staring down at me from a house overlooking them!
Best pies usd to be Hartlepool & Blackpool (and the worst Carlisle). Now you'll have to go a long way to beat the Workington scotch pie! |

Bogs were not that bad but smelt just the elderly tuesday morning que at the post office for the pensions. _________________ Harry says "UP THE AVENUE". |

Our toilets on the old bob bank were just the worst - open air concrete get your old boy watered on when watering the floor on a wet night - couldnt fault it !! |
At least we had a roof at the Vetch! Although by half time the pipes had clogged up and the floor was invariably swimming in piss. |

Best Pies were at Oldham Athletic (Although that was a few years ago)
Worst bogs the ones at Layer Rd, you get 2 people in them and they were overcrowded.

Worst bogs - LOADS!
Manor Ground Oxford - like a cave under the terrace
Portsmouth - just tiny
The Dell Southampton - tiny
Layer Road Colchester - only one w.c, with graffiti "My garden shed is bigger than this"
Goldstone Ground - just a huge and very deep puddle of wee on the floor
Walsall - Bescot - only one really narrow entrance in and out
Bradford City - so narrow
Best pies - sheffield wednesday |

When we played Walton Casuals in the Combined Counties League their portaloos failed to arrive. With a crowd of 1500+ expected they dug a large ditch in the corner of the ground and screened it with tarpaulin. No idea what the female visitors used though! _________________ Newest programme wanted:
