The only food pitch side was spearmint gum and mars bars,that I can remember.How the sellers hit the target used to amaze me as a young lad.For those who don't understand.....if you felt like some chewy,you threw your sixpence down onto the walking track around the pitch and the seller would throw your spearmint gum 60 feet up into the Kop....some big guy would catch it and hand it to you.Then he would role up his echo and pi.ss in your pocket at half-time for not giving him a stick in gratitude for catching your gum.
