The club have decided not to sell pies any more at home games.
The reason given is to speed up the queues at the food outlets. Now, can someone tell me how not selling pies is going to speed up the queues, I do not like pasties, apart from not bothering to buy food as I will not be bothering in future.
A totally farcical decision with absolutely no logic.

Where you hear this? If true, then sack Robert Lawrence as he's the one in charge of catering!

Someone suggested that the profit is more on a pasty than on a pie. Could that be the real reason?

Time to get the pie Van out and start to sell Clarks Pies me thinks I'd buy one from them and as regards not being able to go 90 minutes without stuffing ones face, I assume that was "in jest" as BRFC make a lot of money at home games through hospitality.
Can you imagine any club in the north of England not selling pies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The kitchen is still open in the Bristol room though. So you have the option there to get sometbing to eat.
How many pies do they sell compared to Pasties in the ground?

Well it should certainly shorten the queues if they lose about 20% of their customers.

Looking around the mem on match day, this is probably a good initiative. Some of you fat Barstewards need to lose a few pounds if you are to fit into our new skin tight macron shirts

There is a new menu of burgers and hotdogs, did not notice the prices.
Some supporters arrive at the ground, want to go straight in and buy a pie/pasty and tea/coffee/Bovril before taking their place. Some Gasheads travel a considerable distance to the ground and that is the only way they can get a snack before or during a game.
I make the point again. What difference, time wise, is selling a pie to selling a pasty. The only way you are going to shorten the queue is by having less customers = less revenue.

There shouldnt be. If anything the drinks probably take longer Which is why i wonder what the ratio of sales are If enough people turn up at the first game and are disappointed maybe it will change One for BSS and Ken.perhaps?
