I'm forced at gunpoint to agree with Pints. If you feel you have no option but to buy kids a 12.50 hotdog meal then there is a problem. Not with the hotdog vendors - they're chancing their arm, not with the kids - they're just being kids, but with you.

12.50 for a hotdog, what a rip off!  I think I would starve while the match is on and get something decent for 12.50 afterwards.
There are no proofs, only opinions.

I am there to enjoy the matches, I will drink no more than two pints before a game after watching people in the seats and stands barely able to stand up after paying to get in to games, that makes no sense to me. I would never eat a hot dog much less pay over 12 euro for one, that is madness.

I agree with Jim, even on AIF day in 02 we packed for the day, we had sandwiches, beer, wine and all sorts of cheeses and fruits etc, it saved us a fortune and I was weaned on sandwiches going to games since 1974 and see no point in changing now even if it is considered culchire or gauche or whatever. Oh, I forgot the tae we took as well, a gallon of the stuff to wash down the food.  ;D

Who say anything about being forced? I said I felt sorry for the parent who goes to watch a match and has to listen to 2 hours of can we have a hot dog, can we have a hot dog or pay 12 to keep them quite
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

Have you ever met kids before gnevin? Disciplined ones that is.

what next, no toys or sweets in shops because parents who can't control their children have to listen to them craving for something?

If you can't understand the point I'm making there is not much point in this discussion .

I do understand your point, you feel sorry for parents who have to listen to craving but you dont seem to understand that that's the parents own fault.
