This is a crucial subject for me as reports have reached me that Stanstead Town (the wittily nicknamed 'Airportmen') still administer their half time brew in a proper mug.
That is truly tinpot and awesome in equal measure... but are they alone?

The answer is no, but I'm just disappointed this isn't a thread about referees.

Ya don't even get glasses for drinking ale out of in our main bar on match days just those really crap bendy plastic jobs; so the chances of getting a ceramic mug for ya half time tea/coffee is about as likely as Jordan passing virginity test.

I had tea in a Darlaston Town mug at Dudley Sports a few weeks back. Dudley Sports also do curly fries.

Coops, there's nowt traditional about curly fries dude! White ceramic mugs, little chips out of 'em - gone brown on the inside due to excessive tannins - THAT's traditional. I would think that you'd have to troll down to County league standard for true mugginess - even there it will be an exception rather than norm (and Norm will have to want to do lots of washing up rather than just collect and recycle too)! I can't actually remember the last time I was served tea in anything other than styrofoam...

Farnham Town's rather sweet habit of serving their hot drinks in Farnham Town mugs was instrumental in starting my collection of footy mugs (I now have about 57, and I've heard all the jokes, thank you ) The mugs weren't for sale at Farnham, but after a little wheedling/haggling/general tinpottery, they allowed me to take one home for £2.50 ;D

Aw, Frankster! True, but it happens mate. Concentrate on the league and staying alive dude; having a club is the number one priority, right??

At a slight tangent there is a legendry tale told by some of my workmates. At Toyota, most of the football fans are either Derby or Forest, and the former gleefully tell the story of how in one game played between the two, the half-time drum majorette band had accidently trod a plastic teacup into the Forest penalty area leaving a small part of it sticking up, unnoticed. That was until the Forest keeper came to collect an aimless looking ball rolling towrds him. The ball struck the offending cup fragment, diverting it nicely into the path of Derby striker Paul Peschisolido who gleefully slotted it past the wrong-footed keeper for the winning goal. Derby fans still talk about the day when "one cup beat eleven mugs" ;D

Coops, there's nowt traditional about curly fries dude! I never said that curly fries were traditional, just that you can get them at Dudley Sports. I have also had tea in mugs at Clements '83, Earlswood Town, Coton Green, Archdales, Otterton, Topsham Town, Nairn St. Ninians and Polesworth over the last season or so.

I tried to be cheeky and tell ambersal that I had bought the last mug at Hampton yesterday. My cheeky little plan backfired

I was not a bit fazed, as I have had a Hampton mug for about two years ;D

Mine is coming to work with me tomorrow to sit beside the Liverpool, Chelsea and Manure mug - I can then sit there whilst everyone contemplates "who on earth are H&RB and who on earth is the H&RB fan"
