Are Peter's Pies advertised enough at the Lane?

[happyhippy]

Despite the usual hoardings around the ground, they've a really subliminal campaign to sell their wares by having the scoreboard telling us all to 'go to kiosk now!' all through the match, but when it got to the American style 'mobile pie seller' ambling round with a ferking big Thermos thing tied to his neck whom I saw on Saturday on the Kop, I had to giggle.

Let's face it, 'food' (I use the word loosely) inside grounds isn't good, but then we are conditioned to slumming it with the frozen pies served at Barnsley, the non-existent beer at Burnley and the Millenium Stadium, and food is hardly the reason for going, but given that *Peter's Pies* clearly need help, can we help them out with extra advertising?

Maybe we could have some Marines hitting people in the face with Peter's Pies at half time, or summat.

It's a chardonnay, actually ! Seriously though, it does hack me off that the 'visual display mechanism' isn't used more for the benefit of fans, like it was, by giving latest scores (regularly), or even major sports updates.

You can't fault the club for getting more revenue in by advertising, but you can't move for their adverts. I hope they're paying a fortune for the privilege.

And the mobile pie sellers ...... sufclucy and I just looked at each other agog ......

No sir, much more subtle. Though those days were quite amusing.

I've not had power coke for a few games now to be honest. Thats probably more down to the fact i was coming out of the games more ratted than i was when i went in

Maybe you should have had a Peter's Pie to negate the effects! I don't bother on Saturdays so much, but night matches require a warming liquid.

I'd still like the 'public information screen' to give me information about what is happening round the division at the very least, rather than Peter's Pies, which are available at kiosks all round the ground, and a mobile pie seller near you.

I had a pint of Foster's before the Southampton match in the ground.

I nearly signed the pledge.

In fact I nearly drank Pledge to get rid of the 'taste'.

Pies at the lane should come with a health warning

Tell thee... it's revolutionary but it might just save your blood pressure.

Go to Costcutter. 10 cups of Bovril (exactly the same as the ones at the Lane) for £1.

Kettle.

Water in it and boil.

Flask in a bag, which you take to the Lane. The bag can also prove a useful receptacle for carrying other things, like cold bacon butties. The bag is also usually tartan.

Half time... stay in your seat. Make your own Bovril and eat your own snap.

I know I can never be bothered, but I don't tend to have stuff at half time. But if you really want to protest about the quality and price of food and drink, taking your own is the only thing to do.

I take my own beer in to the ground, i usually have 5 or 6 pints and store it my bladder during the course of the match.

I wasn't complaining, just stating a fact!!!

And now I know your secrets I will be down to see you at half time, mmmm bacon butty and all in a tartan bag. I thought a Tarten bag was the lady my mate married ( and divorced) but thats another story.

 

[bettsyblade86]

are they any good? serious answers please! because the subliminal advertising is having an effect and i started crazing a chicken balti, do they still do them?

Still do them but have gone down hill this year im afraid. Not had one since the Cardiff game.
Peter out.

 

[dingledog]

They taste better in direct proportion to the amount of beer consumed at the lion, two pints passable, three pints mmm, four pints wow, five pints best food ever etc

 

[bettsyblade86]

cheers for the response, heartbreaking though it was, shoes off in Peter's car park??

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Our chippy sells Peter's pies! They taste rank, sober or totally bladdered if you ask me!!

You have lived the high life down south for too long SEB, I bet its all smoked salmon and caviar for you now. You might have a valid point though

 

[Sensiblade]

In my opinion we should 'import' pies from Inverness
Best pies at a match ever!!!!!
(didn't know what Hendersons was though )
