I think supporting a local Sussex company who make decent pies is more important. Piglets pies are fine - I just wish the walking dead style numpties on the tills could serve them a bit quicker...

I have had one pie at football that is better than piglets and that is the cottage pie at Fulham.

I have a piglets sausage roll before each game now, the one with red onion is very good.

The pie I had at the first Amex game was the best in my life but maybe it was the occasion

TLO in 3, 2, 1.

Totally agree BG, by far superior as a football pie.

Sick to death of the wankathon about Piglets, totally overated,



Oh, and they aren't handmade, they are cheaper in every other stadium too.

How are they not handmade?

If you go into Bangers in Baker St you can see the people actually making them on a table while you are stood at the counter.

Turners are the ONE. The new shop in Broadwater is my downfall for a cheeky black pudding scotch egg for a lunchtime treat

I tried Turners a few years ago when they opened up in Rustington and wasn't impressed. Having seen this thread, I stopped in Broadwater today and bought black pudding scotch egg for my lunch and a mince beef and onion pie for my dinner.

What a disappointment. The scotch egg was bland - no flavour coming through and an over set egg which was pale and dry. As for the pie, this was just as bland. Not flavour to the filling - I was expecting a strong onion and gravy mix but it was just a grey sludge inside some very average pastry. Neither of these items were particularly cheap either.

Pukka Pies were always pretty rubbish and mostly pastry but they are cheap. At away games, clubs always seemed to fit in a massive mark up still and ruin it's one redeeming feature though.

To be fair, BG did cite sales of 60m, not production volume. Perhaps they’re currently working through the last 10 years stock, and will increase production when stocks have been depleted?

As an aside: has anyone ever seen BG and Crodo logged on at the same time?

I can assure you BG is nothing to do with me, although I did once recommend a campsite in WIltshire on the outskirts of Swindon for him, that's as far as we are connected.
