PS: I wish they bought back the chicken and ham pie too.

Most expensive pies in English football

Well here's 4 and me effectively saying "i haven't noticed any change".. just in this small sample.
PS: I wish they bought back the chicken and ham pie too.
There's no way the number of pies sold has DOUBLED since this: http://www.seagulls.co.uk/news/article/amex-pies-win-six-awards-241961.aspx
6-7000 (according to Paul Barber) which would sound about right given the increase in ground capacity from the official club piece I linked to above...
"The pies may be the most expensive in the division, but they are also the best. Local supplier Piglet’s Pantries have won awards for the quality of their products, and fans are voting with their stomachs. The club sells 6-7,000 pies per match, a much higher proportion of fans are buying them than at other clubs in the division, who are serving cheaper options, of indeterminate taste, age, source and flavour."

Agreed. Either that data is out of date, perhaps its a peak in which case Naylor means "up to 10,000" per match . Anyway agreed i'm sceptical its up to date figures.
As crowds have declined in last two seasons (14/15 and this season) then obviously i'd expect pie sales to have dropped off as well. But unless Piglets / Sodexo/ the club want to share up to date figures then its all speculation.

Yep. Agreed. The 10K figure quoted by the Argus looked either out of date, or not an average

Would I rather pay £4-10 for a Piglets pie, or £3-50 for a Pukka......I'd probably stick with what we've got.
Bring back the chicken and ham and the balti and we'll be back on track again imo.

This.
The pies have clearly changed. I remember buying a set of pies when the deal was first announced and posting the photos on here. You buy one today, cut it in half, and stage the same photos and you'll certainly see a change.

This. No question that they started off unusually packed full of quite chunky meat and that now they are not.
I can vividly remember being quite taken aback by the sheer quality of the filling in the very early days. To be fair, it didn't last long and standards were slipping by the end of the year, so I'm not surprised by some people saying they haven't noticed change in last few seasons.
Do it! (that's enthusiasm, not anger or challenging or anything like that)
I am with you on this but because of Chailyjem and The Large One, oops sorry, The Albion Roar I am doubting myself.
Can you link to your photos Herr Tubthumper?

I posted them on here. I'll search and see if I can find them.

Piglets have just read this thread and responded on Twitter. Headlines are >>
1) recipe/size hasn't changed since Aug 11. They still make the pies in the same tins.
2) The Chicken/Ham pie might be returning
3) They don't set the prices . The club does.
4) Happy to discuss further or in person at the Amex . On Tuesday for example.

Same experience here.
C&O is my favourite type of pie. Couldn't wait to try the amazing creation that Piglet's would surely be producing.
It was foul, tasteless, distinctly non-cheesy, but definitely not a cornish pasty.
I think you were probably ok.

The 'emergency firm' was the best level of catering we've ever had at the Amex IMHO. Obviously quality catering comes at a price - which is why we never saw them again.
