Too long to keep them til the next home game I'd imagine. Hopefully not just sling 'em in the bin. Plenty of homeless and hungry people in Brighton town who would appreciate them.

So What DO They Do With All Tonight's Pies?

This must have cost the club a fortune, my question, can they be insured for postponement due to weather conditions?
They can come and drop a couple off in Hickstead travelodge if they want. Veggie please.

Good question.
Maybe the Albion matchday staff will have Piglets Pie goody bags to take home tonight.

You can insure for anything but whether you do depends on the premium. Would be surprised if the club didn't have some cover for this eventuality not forgetting that fog isn't the only reason a game could be called off.

Could be wrong here but don't the club contract out the catering? If so it will surely be the caterers that lose out!

I guess if they were already being warmed / heated up for tonight, then they'll get slung or as previously mentioned, to charitable purposes.
Shame , I fancy a pie right now

Not just PIES what about the SAUSAGES that are WASTED ?

It wasn't so much the catering, it was more the park and ride buses,the stewards, police,admin staff,etc. It must cost a lot to put a match on, none of these costs can be recovered as most of us didn't even get to the ground.
I would imagine the pies will all have to be binned because environmental health states that all hot food must be maintained at an optimum temperature (over 65 degrees) once it falls below this, it can't be re-heated.

More to the point , what about the Harvey's, it's bought in bright condition so short shelf life?

Couldn't the club/caterers maybe open up Dick's and/or The Seven Stars tomorrow afternoon, put a couple of bands on, stream some games, make the best of a bad throw of the weather dice?

Good points. I thought your original reply was only in response to the question in the thread title.

i'd have thought Harvey's could redistribute most to other outlets around, practical as it doesnt need to resettle elsewhere, then holding back brewing for the next few days to allow for the unexpected surplus. reckon a lot of bars and clubs might be getting a discount on Harvey's this weekend.

I remember Exeter away a few season ago one of their catering staff was walking around handing out free Cornish pasties on the away terrace towards the end of the game.
Well done to all concerned. Great stuff.
