Tigers love hot pies, Dees cold fish as MCC reveals footy fans' eating habits at the MCG

MELBOURNE supporters are more likely to eat sushi while Richmond fans prefer a traditional pie with sauce.
The Melbourne Cricket Club says it has detected differences in the culinary tastes of AFL fans at the MCG.
Melbourne fans seem to have a penchant for sushi and chicken walnut wraps while Tigers supporters prefer pies, chips and Red Rooster chicken rolls.
And Coke is the most popular drink for Collingwood fans.
Before the start of the season, more than 20 new food outlets were added at the ground to try to offer a range of "high-quality alternatives" to the traditional pie and chips.
The study by the MCC found:
MAGPIES fans bought 15 per cent more premium hot chips than others;
ESSENDON supporters bought about 40 per cent more hotdogs from Dog Bar than others;
KANGAROOS followers prefer "meat lover" pizzas from Crust Pizza; and
ST KILDA fans spend almost 30 per cent more a game on burgers than any other club.
Melbourne fan Ally Blease was shocked that Dees' fans favoured sushi over a pie.
"I think it's a bit of a surprise - I wouldn't have picked it," she said. "Maybe it shows we're a bit classier."
MCC executive manager of hospitality Rebecca Harvey said new menu items such as gourmet hotdogs, buns and baguettes, upscale fish and chips and bakery treats had given fans more choice than ever at the footy.
"Of course, existing staples continue to complement the new menu options," she said.

lol dees cold fish hahaha
-
I would've thought that the Roos preferred Shinboner Soup, gratis of course
-
What about a pie without sauce?
Should be an option, not all of us ruin a pie with sauce :rollin
-
Dees supporters although pretentious yups, have had a great range of food from mcc food outlets. Hence their tastes
Nought eat meat lovers pizza because its a grand change from Pal, snappy tom and whiskas cans shared amoungst family :lol
Bombres fans love hot dogs the most maybe due to a past affiliation with that don add its ingrained in their mind or perhaps they justlove to deep throat :shh
Have to say I bring my own rolls or sangas, much prefer eating quality food than smashing down a povo meat pie or a dry and underwhelming hotdog.
I have been to that restuarant on level 1 punt rd end but found some of their food underwhelming and over priced.
What I loved but seldom got was the steak burgers made fresh to order buy the chef down at the M15 gate on level 1, have now replaced with a curry vendor and im not that keen on the stuff :-\
-
I hate the new catering this year. Yes there's more variety but the quality is crap, sizes are smaller (especially chips) and prices more expensive. Can't believe I am going to say this but I preferred Spotless.

Melbourne eat smoked salmon on a bed of cus cus followed by sour grapes
-
Hot chips and sometimes a Crust pizza from under M55 :cheers
-
2 beers a quarter and a pie with sauce at half time, hot chips to start with if I'm hungover
-
The food outlets aren't open when n0rf play because it costs more for the 16 year old to work there than they make from profits. Boomer's mum just sells Fanta from her esky and lunch box packets of Twisties.

Hate 4 & 20 pies.....gristle galore.
I go a hot dog with chips, occasionally a pizza.

I once saw a Melbourne supporter bring from home a vege stir fry which stunk. Brought in his own plastic container with cutlery from home all washed down with iced tea.
He had ridden to the G as he was still,wearing his helmet and bicycle shorts.
The bad old days.
As for "Kangaroos followers" the government funding at the Lort Smith Home has increased so they can have Black and Gold brand Dog Food instead of the one bulk purchased from not quite right.
