I attended an
athletics coaching seminar in Stevenage on Saturday morning and afterwards it
was straight on the train to Finsbury Park with no opportunity for lunch. No problem, however, as it gave me another
opportunity to visit Piebury Corner. I
approached the counter and ordered the Tony Adams Steak ‘n’ Ale. I then noticed that my previous blog about
Piebury Corner had been printed out and was attached to the front of the
stall! Having revealed my identity, I
got talking to the proprietor, Scotch Paul, who gave me the background to
Piebury Corner and his vision of Piebury Corners at every football ground in
the world (well, the Premiership, at least). He also tipped me the wink about a
high-class burger joint near Drayton Park close to the school with the lifeboat
in the playground. So shouldn’t be too hard to find and is on the list for a
visit once I’ve gone through the menu at Piebury Corner. With a home Champions
League fixture on Wednesday night, it’ll be once again down to Piebury Corner
for pre-match sustenance. At the moment, I’m tempted to go for the Reg Lewis
which is the veggie option.
The Tony Adams was
excellent but, on balance, I have a slight preference for the Dennis – see
League table below. Incidentally, there is now a new sign outside the stall
which is about 12 feet tall. So keep your eyes open so you don’t walk into it
and take the opportunity to have some really tasty pre-match food.

Table:
- Dennis Bergkamp – eaten 1
- Tony Adams – eaten 1
Building on SP's vision, the two worst match day foodie experiences last year were at Everton and West Ham. So perhaps Piebury Corner could develop a 'Toffee' pie and a 'Bubbles' pie? Any recipe ideas? (Btw - any suggestions that the latter should be based on bushmeat will be rejected immediately!)
