Katie Borkins 1 Posted June 9, 2013 My mum supports Dundee United and has discovered that the Burger Van out the front was for sale recently for £4,000. I have been saying for ages that the way out of the problem of the burger van in the corner of Carrow Rd was for the club to buy it and turn it into something more suitable for reducing obesity. Plus the van, or what remained of it, could be used to raise income for the club, perhaps in some other way, therefore would be an investment. £4,000 is not peanuts and the burger vanat Norwich would probably be more, but still it must be considered an option. I have been shouted down several times for expressing this view but no-one has come up with a decent argument as to why this should not be a sensible solution. To buy back courtyard space and have the facility to create something healthy, even if it is a large climbing frame, a set of treadmills which power a video replay scoreboard, or a statue of Cedric Anselin, must be a no-brainer.It may not be possible for reasons I don''t know, but money talks and at the right price this is a way to develop the stadium and encourage better pre and post-match dietary habits which could result in less fatties, less obesity, and less chafing for everyone as they wedge themselves between two enormous fat b''stards every home game.

Bill 1,788 Posted June 9, 2013 I remember when it was a NAAFI tea wagon, and it didn''t have a roof on it either - and at halftime they would wheel it round the back of the City stand to the East Bank end (or Berkley is we knew it).The bloke who ran it was called Earnie ... or tea Earn as we called him. Then it was taken over by a woman called Dalia who made it all smart and the tea was excellent. In fact Ted MacDougall (supermac) even said ''you''ve never had it so good"Unfortunately so many fans started drinking tea that it caused a run on the cups - about 1957, I think. The 1957 cup run became very famous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,737 Posted June 9, 2013 If there is a need for any tables and chairs or parasols to put in front of this burger van I understand that Kew Green Hotels over ordered on a consignment for the Holiday Inn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted June 9, 2013 [quote user="TIL 1010"]If there is a need for any tables and chairs or parasols to put in front of this burger van I understand that Kew Green Hotels over ordered on a consignment for the Holiday Inn. [/quote]The burger van would need to build a platform for the tables and chairs and parasols to be attached to, so they would not deemed a health and safety risk and to make sure they don''t get in the way of emergency vehicles. Also the cost of the aforementioned tables, chairs and parasols could be met by the increase of the price of the burgers by 50p per burger, thus over twelve years the cost of buying the tables, chairs and parasols would be covered. There would of course be the issue of negotiating the use of the Holiday Inn tables, chairs and parasols as they would have the Holiday Inn logo on them and there would be some cost attached to the licensing of the tables, chairs.....................do you want me to go on??
