That seems more than it'd take me at Spurs but I guess it depends what stand you're in as they serve it in the south stand

I’m sure I’ve made it from the North Stand to the Villa Chippy by Witton Station in less than five minutes. Never at half time though.

I haven’t been to any European stadiums but can you guys really get out in 2 minutes? In the US takes like 20 minutes just to leave the stadium then 20 minutes of security to get back in.

Need to start a halftime business of a pedal bar to go to the fish and chips shops. Can drink on the way to the shop and drink and eat on the way back to the stadium.

Crushes are a problem, aye, that's usually a matter of when the game ends (or a riot). Some major ones happened at Ibrox as well, each one caused more changes in either policy and even construction of the exits.

I do like meself a good fish supper, though.

Eating the pain away has always been Spurs fans main outlet for dealing with the fact that they never win any silverware. Congrats to Harry Kane- 267 goals and zero trophies. "Tottenham get battered everywhere they go" this makes so much more sense now, like battered fish.

jobear6969 t1_j8kw6kp wrote

Does this take into account walking/running slower while carrying the fish and chips? You would presumably be able to run quicker on the way there with both hands free. But the run back would require one hand to be holding the food.

Wow! In Canada we have lost all reentry privileges. Leave the stadium? You’re done watching the game from within the stadium.

It started before the pandemic, during Pan Am Games team sports. Now it’s here to stay in every stadium.

So each sports stadium has a captive audience to which they can try to sell all necessary calories and hydration to. Oh and no outside food / drink is allowed unless it’s for a baby. They confiscate it all during the security search upon entry.

That’s because of alcohol purchases.

A few years ago, you could go in and out of a college football game to drink a beer or two at your tailgate at halftime and return to your seat. Not the case since they started selling beer in the stadium.

Do they let you leave the stadium and come back in in the UK?

In the US (at least most places I've gone) once you leave the stadium that's it. Your ticket is now "used" and you can't get back in with it.

Do your stadiums re-admit you after leaving? Or is the question just academic?

Just curious, because in the States, we usually don't re-admit, at least the venues I've been to here (Dodger Stadium, Rose Bowl, etc.)

I think the running speed seems ever so slightly off. Running looks to be twice as quick, for most people, according to Google.

The times look to be only slightly off, like I say, by between 5 and 1 minutes off - making running seem slower than it actually would be(?)

Hey so, I'm a native Brightonian. The funny thing is, Brighton being a seaside town and all, we're kinda famous for our fish and chips. So it's kind of hilarious to see us languishing at the bottom of this particular table, because in daily life you're rarely more than a short walk away from the nearest chippy!

However, this is mostly because the Falmer stadium where B&H Albion play is right at the edge of city limits and quite far from the sea, which is where the majority of the fish and chip shops are. When I was a kid and Albion played at the Goldstone Ground, there was a chippy literally a 2 minute walk from the ground!

Someone really ought to open a chippy out there, though... clearly a gap in the market.

Three things:

  • This is exactly the kind of post we need on this subreddit. Awesome!

  • Does this assume that you can run with the order(s) of fish & chips, or is this running there and power-walking back?

  • Does Tottenham have a fish & chips stand in the lobby?

For Brighton, a team on the coast to have the worst chip shop distance is a disgrace. Bloom needs to sort himself out.

There’s a chippy on Holloway Road, just off Hornsey Road, called Gold Fish. It’s a 10 minute walk from the Emirates.

I would therefore like to ask for a recount.

Not in my experience, QR code gets scanned meaning they can’t allow this otherwise you could pass your phone through gates to a friend. So at least in my experience this data is built on a false premise.

It depends on the stadium as well, the Spurs stadium has almost airport style security and they will check your bags, but it works pretty well. Smaller clubs usually have no security, my local club you just stroll through the turnstiles.

Flashwastaken t1_j8m3ei4 wrote

Replying to Kered13 (#1,815,630)

Depends on the stadium, where you are sitting and who is playing. If it’s a game with two rival clubs and the fans are known for starting trouble, it could take an hour to get out of the stadium after the game because they don’t let the diehard fans (scum) leave until the other diehard fans (also scum), are on the buses back to wherever it is they are from. This is to stop fights and other hooliganisms.

What's the speed of walking and running? Whatever the thing is, I think at least people will not consider that someone who's more than 300 pounds can walk/run faster than someone who's 150-200 pounds.

Is the fish nice? I saw it for the first time on my last visit and it surprisingly looked like my local chippy's whereas I was expecting it to look like my school dinner's. Looked appealing but want too hungry and didn't fancy eating standing up

Yeah pretty good as far as stadium food goes. But if I’m going to eat at the stadium there are better options IMO:

  • Spurs Signature Beef & Onion Pie
  • Brisket Roll
  • Chicken Katsu Burger

Google Maps uses 5 km/h for walking and 10 km/h for running - i did not take weight into account, but i should probably have found the average weight/height for each city and calculated that into the speed

I guess I just don't get the point, why would you want to leave the stadium in the middle of a game? Higher quality food (this data doesn't support this meaning), shorter lines? I know you can't answer, its just confusing, and seemingly pointless.

Fascinating but I wonder how they calculated the route.. with West Ham for example, I live and work near the stadium. I know a Fishies nearby that Google says takes 16 mins to get to but the path taken is the longest because it can't work out walking through the Olympic site. You should definitely be able walk there and back quicker than 25 mins.

Doesn’t take into account food options on the concourse, seat location or average queue times. Think it’s mostly done well because Brighton is a seaside town so people are like LOL NO FISH N CHIPS THERE

It’s about alcohol sales and protecting profits. If you let people leave efficiently they’ll go tailgate in the parking lot instead of buying stadium beer.

Edit: thinking about it, I’ll bet a relative lack of parking largely kills tailgating. Assuming european football stadiums are substantially more reliant on public transit, then they get some of those same protections as a free bonus on not having the same car culture the us does.
