When did Chicken George bail out? I was just in the mood for some overpriced dried Fried Chicken today.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought it was overpriced dry food . My chicken strips were like chewing cardboard the one and only time I bought from them.Hal1x said:When did Chicken George bail out? I was just in the mood for some overpriced dried Chicken today.0 -
They went bust after embarrassing themselves with their association with our goal of the month sponsorship. Like their chicken, our goals have dried up.5

Thought I saw their van in the Fans Zone today?0

When I saw the title I thought of George Lawrence.
The spanners used to call him this, @MillwallFan will be able to confirm.1 -

Is this another one of Nathan’s bloody Luton mates?1

Anyone that thought it was overpriced and dry, obviously has never purchased any other food from the ground. Fans bar food is even more expensive, shitter and dryer than CG.
Many people liked it and it was incredibly popular. Personally I don't see how our fan zone works in the winter anyway.3 -

Yeah I went to the fans bar (north stand) a couple of weeks ago for the first time (at "that" Tuesday game) and whilst there was nothing particularly wrong with the food itself, £12 for two TWO pieces of slightly larger than nugget sized chicken and some fries I thought was taking the piss, even by London standards.shine166 said:Anyone that thought it was overpriced and dry, obviously has never purchased any other food from the ground.

The chicken George I had way back when we beat Birmingham I thought was decent enough for the money.1 -

It WAS overpriced and dry regardless of any comparison with other stadium food. You can buy food from other places locally you know, where it may be less dry and overpriced. It just didn't seem worth paying the premium. If it was so incredibly popular where has it gone? or was it never scheduled for winter?shine166 said:Anyone that thought it was overpriced and dry, obviously has never purchased any other food from the ground.

That (Turkish?) kebab/burger place down the road with a few sit down seats is great. I wish it was closer to The River though 😄
Maybe we need a "pre/post game grub" mega thread somewhere.1 -
I'm confused, was it a different price v Birmingham, or better quality? or does the perceived value vary according to the result?, you seem to be contradicting yourself.ArmchairAddick said:

I think you need to try reading it again. One was chicken George in the fan zone. The other was in the fans bar and was not chicken George, I forget what the branding was.Hal1x said:

Sounds about as successful a partnership as NordVPN, the data security experts announced just a month or 2 before our IT systems had a security ‘incident’.2

So some local non football food is cheap, so it means CG is over priced ?. It's a completely different point than I was making but that's absolutely fine. Just to be clear, the award winning food is priced exactly the same in the shops that they have running everywhere else including St Albans fc where it also does incredibly well too (hense us taking them on).Hal1x said:

Some don't like it and that's fair enough, but you can buy cheap beer in Sainsbury's so that argument never really stands up.

Face it, chicken is fowl.2

This. Every time I’ve been to The Fan Zone the CG van has been really busy they probably make a fortune each time I’d be surprised if they dropped out.shine166 said:Anyone that thought it was overpriced and dry, obviously has never purchased any other food from the ground.

It was advertised as being there yesterday too so assume it still was?1 -

I tried the chicken van fare yesterday for the first time. I doubt I’ll try it again.0

I quite liked the fan zone on the one visit I made to it with a friend.
Felt felt like a decent vibe, and we both got chicken George and liked that as well.If I take my friends who are not Charlton fans to a game over the summer I wouldn’t have any issue taking them there beforehand.3 -

Buy them some ear plugs if you take them there, and perhaps a book on sign language in case you want to ‘talk’ when the chap with the microphone is speaking.FishCostaFortune said:I quite liked the fan zone on the one visit I made to it with a friend.

I prefer the background noise of middle aged men talking to a 18 year old like a POS because he's been queuing in Crossbars for 3 minutes.letthegoodtimesroll said:

14th in league one and the anger is directed at the chicken wings.20

Come on Rodders, it’s bad enough when the forwards at Charlton don’t deliver so when the wings fall short as well it just makes it worse…RodneyCharltonTrotta said:14th in league one and the anger is directed at the chicken wings.2 -
