Bovril has been a long-standing match-day favourite, heating the terraces up and down the country on a cold winter’s day, but now Stockport County is aiming to fill the stands of Edgeley Park with festive cheer, creating the nation’s first Christmas dinner in a cup.
Dripping in gravy, this tasty match day must-have has been created to deliver some festive magic on and off the pitch. Celebrating the launch of the County Courtyard fan zone, it comes complete with all the festive trimmings you’d expect to see on Christmas day including roast turkey, pigs in blanket, mash potato, gravy, stuffing, and Brussel sprout.
Priced at £4.50 – County fans will be able to pick up a Christmas dinner in a cup at the County Courtyard before the game and at half-time on Monday 26 December when County face Crewe Alexandra. Originally County Courtyard was due to launch on Saturday 17 December, however due to a frozen pitch this match has been postponed.
County CEO Jonathan Vaughan said:
“Fusing Christmas traditions with winter football traditions, Christmas dinner in a cup has been designed to bring some festive cheer to Edgeley Park, adding to County’s already electric atmosphere. Created especially for our fixture against Gillingham, fans visiting the County Courtyard will be able to tuck into delicious festive warmer pre-match, getting them ready to cheer on some tasty action on the pitch.”
The County Courtyard fan zone opens for the first time on Monday 26 December at 1.30pm and will serve up a host of festive favourites before and after the match including Bratwurst hotdogs, pies and Yorkshire pudding wraps.
