2. George and Doreen’s cheese and onion rolls
Whatever you think of a Pukka pie or a sausage roll, you can get a hot meal at the football now. People put off eating until they get to the ground so they can get food from a vendor in the Fan Village. My memories of catering at Sincil Bank as a kid was a bottle of Coke and a bag of crisps, and if you fancied something a bit more substantial, George and Doreen had made cheese and onion rolls.
I believe they made them at home and brought them down to the ground, but I might be wrong. I can still picture the bloke going round with his basket full of rolls. The prices were reasonable, and there was enough to feed the people who fancied one. I’d love to see the look on somebody’s face if you pitched that as the catering plan for a Championship ground today.
