and there's been threads speculating that the club will ditch piglets as a supplier since early in 2011/12 too.

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...

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 The 10K figure quoted by the Argus looked either out of date, or not an average

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 Either that data is out of date, perhaps its a peak in which case Naylor means "up to 10,000" per match .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 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.

Ha ! Obviously. Because I like and buy their pies and are happy to defend em or challenge what i believe to be unfounded criticism in 4-5 posts that took me 10 minutes to write. The cheque must be in the post. Thats what the £4.10 goes on :)

Half a dozen posts on NSC saying they can't quite remember, some saying they've not noticed any change and admittedly a fair few convinced they are not as good as they used to be is not "a general consensus".

The growth of Piglets thanks to the Albion and its fans is a great local business story. Even the clubs detractors would admit that. Are they all "blind" ? As for being convinced that the recipe /quality has changed despite vehement public denials by Piglets then fair enough. Be great if you...

Piglets vehemently deny it but you don't believe em. Not sure why but fair enough.

or alternatively routine contractual discussions/issues with a valued supplier that were quickly resolved... As for decline in sales and/or the urgency or likelihood of a new supplier then The Argus who admittedly might be using old data but its not far off said "[The Albion]sells around...

Fine. Take it up with them. Taken aback by your willingness to believe they are actively trying to undermine the quality of their own product, upset their own customers and lie to users on Twitter.

The Piglets contract is a commercial contract not some charity or vanity arrangement on behalf of a misty eyed Albion commercial team who fancy helping out a local supplier.. Its presumably , backed up by research, sales data, competitive analysis, continuing well into its 5th year precisely...

PS: This accusation goes round NSC every few months and Piglets keep formally denying it. Plenty of other reasons to criticise, if thats how you feel, the pies VFM (cost, the flavours stocked/specials, how they're re-heated, the service, the bag/box, the service, the lack of brown sauce ...

Always be cautious guessing for example, overall Amex matchday spending habits, season ticket renewal rates, 1901 renewal rates, and indeed pie sales, recipes, or future pie sales purely from a tiny sample of North Stand Chat threads or surveys however useful they might be for fan anecdotes or...
