Why is it that catering for ordinary fans at small clubs is usually so much better than at most SPFL clubs?

I was at Tayport yesterday for the Scottish Cup tie against Carluke (2-0 for Tayport). The refreshment snack offered filled rolls with several different fillings, four different types of hot pies and the best bridie* I can ever remember eating, as well as a wide range of soft canned drinks, and the usual tea, coffee etc.
* Supplied by Rough & Fraser, Dundee.

And occasionally I go to St Andrews United, where you can get pie, beans and chips!

Iv always said the kiosks at East End should be served by the local scran vans based in Elgin,Pitreavie and Inverkeithing offering the best rolls week in/out.
Get the local scran vans involved..even one outside EEP.

I agree with you.
I can only think it’s just a generic menu supplied with the company’s associated with football clubs in the SPFL.
Stephen’s had no such excuse though and one of their most popular brands, lentil soup was never ever sold at East End Park.
Could never understand that.
Smaller clubs tend to have local bakers or even do it in-house so can experiment much more .

Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte

Got to say, out with Baynes rolls, Dundee bakeries blow their Fife counterparts out the water for quality and selection.

I suggested a while back that we bring in food vans but the feeling was the trade would be too limited in terms of time.
