Footy Scran

[Kudos]

I bought a pie at Preston, dropped it going back to my seat! Never bought one since.

Saw Preston away at St. Marys with a mate who uni'ed up there and had a soft spot for them.

Their fans stank of sweat and pie so either it's good food or all they sell up there.

I hope Jim reads this thread although the price hike of our pies to £5 is a concern.

Don;t forget 'Squeezy Cheesy Peas'

Love the Footy Scran 'x' threads and the replies 'Eric Scrantona' etc etc

Yes - in original or strawberry flavour

Unlike Reading fans who smell of old soft broken biscuits

Wouldn't be a bad idea to rent out space for a couple of burger vans next to the food tent. Only mentioning it as I tuck into my egg, bacon and sausage bap. Not everyone wants pies and hot dogs

Were you very very drunk at the time?

Is 'scran' a northern word?

 

[Reality and Realism]

I think that when you posted a similar story way back in time, and under a different username, it was established that that was pure fantasy on your part.

Established by whom exactly? Please ignore the numbskulls on the echo site.

If there was a “y” in the day, then very probably

Scottish in origin, I think?

Is 'scran' a northern word?

One of those words I‘ve only ever seen written.
Would imagine that if you used it in actual conversation you would sound like a dick.

Military slang, among other circles.

In the 70's.
Hot dog with boiled onions.And a cup of tomato soup in the concourse around 2.30, just at the first rendition of the BOURNEMOUTH BOOT WALK was starting.
Dust and and other muck falling down from the wooden terrace at the back of the Sourhend.

Like a good steak and ale pie.

All served under a big ‘tent’.

 

[RobTrent]

Used to love going to Dorchester market, or wherever he was, and getting a free hotdog with onions and ketchup off my dads stall!

Military

 

[New Old Cherry]

Military slang, among other circles.

It's definitely 20th century and modern military...used everyday in the RN....but NOT originally military...
...It was previously a reference to scraps of food in medieval taverns I believe..probably Northern or Scottish.

THE best Footy Food is Fish and Chips if you play away at Hull or Grimsby. Haddock/ Chips and Mushy Peas with batter scraps... better when it was wrapped in Newspapers..washed in with Tetley's Beer.
Or second to that away to Plymouth Argyle ..Pasties...preferably those sourced from over the river in Cornwall.. with Rough Cider
Hearts, Hibs or Dunfermline in Edinburgh area...has to be Scotch Pies or Haggis....washed down with a smoky- flavoured Whisky...from any of the Island ferments.
Bury, Bolton, Burnley and Blackburn.. black pudding and crumbly cheese is the thing.....don't even go to the game...just sit in the park and trough piles of it with Boddingtons Ales..
