GONE are the days of spearmint chewing gum and macaroon bars served from trays around the terraces.
Instead there’s scalding hot Bovril and a steak or scoth pie that’s stuck to the foil – food at the football can get a bad rap sometimes.
Bovril is the traditional drink for Scottish football fans
Killie Pies are also highly regarded in the football snack worldWillie Vass

Not the famous Killie pie though.
The Ayrshire delight is renowned as one of the best in the SPFL – and is held in such high regard it’s sold in shops far away from Rugby Park.
But the Killie Pie appears to have a rival as clubs come up with alternative culinary delights to replace the staple diet of Saturday afternoons at Scottish football.
An internal rival no less.
And one that has been hailed a sweet success.
Well, with some fans at least.
To others, what’s being served up in Kilmarnock‘s family stand simply isn’t to their taste.
The dish has been profiled by popular social media account ‘Footy Scran’.
It highlights the best – and worst – of stadium snacks.
And 70 percent – more than 1500 X.com users – dubbed the dish of donuts, marshmallows and cream topped with Nutella ‘Scran’.
It featured on the site hours after Derek McInnes’ side faced Rangers on Wednesday night and costs £5.50.
It’s certainly different from a pie and bovril and one fan admitted: “I’m tempted to sit in the Killie end just for this.”
Another said: “Astoundingly good looking; scran and pass the insulin pen.”
A third joked: “Needs to be paired with the doner kebab pie.”

But it was maybe not one for the football purists who seemed to prefer a more traditional snack.
One replied: “It’s supposed to be a football match, not a kids tea party!”
Another cried: “Get in the bin. What is this – a hen night in Benidorm?”
And one Killie fan was on hand to explain: “Should be noted for context that this dish is only available in the Family stand – which is home fans only.
“None of the other three stands have anything just as sweet as this. It’s served from a food truck which is sited within the kids fun zone below the rake of the Moffat stand.”
