I'm sure Mrs Sourpuss doesn't complain.:rolleyes:

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

I'm sure a certain member of this forum would love to see the addition of a "Chicken Balti" to the range of pies :D

Anything is an improvement on the pedigree chum that has been sold over the past 10 years in the Clayton end

Oh dear, I know a certain gentleman whose nom de plume on here starts with a Y who's not too enamoured of Pukka pies :(

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Theres one starts with c that aint also.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Looks like a fall out with Hollands then i cant see the pie and a pint deal lasting much longer

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

pukka pies are good

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Be interesting to see if the price goes up???

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

According to our commercial manager in the blurb on fishy site there won't be any change in the prices for fans. Maybe Hollands wanted to put the prices up - who knows, something must've prompted the change otherwise why change from a local supplier to one based in Yaaarkshire?

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

maybe because its a superior product?

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

That's a matter of opinion, ask Cashy or Yonmon for their take on Pukka pies - if you dare :)

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

I have no opinion on the superiority or otherwise vis-à-vis Pukka versus Hollands but surely Hollands are a locally based company, employing local people.
Surely, we should be supporting them in helping to continue jobs for local people, who in turn may support us.
Years ago, I worked for Matthew Brown Brewery in Blackburn for a short time, before they were swallowed up by Scottish & Newcastle, who immediately closed them down.
They had a policy of buying their trucks only from Leyland Motors, on the simple understanding that their employees drank in Matthew Brown pubs, so they would support their customers employer.
Can't see many Yorkshire folk supporting Stanley.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

More Yorkshire folk than you think, me included

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

What happened to Clayton Park pies? Class above Hollands & Pukka IMO

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

How many advertising boards for Holland's Pies were there around the ground?
Zero
How many Pukka Pie boards?
Put it this way- there's a lot more orange around the stadium now!

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

It's amazing what you can do with 30 pieces of silver :D

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Hollands pies are two for a pound at Tesco, Cissy Greens both Pork and beef are the business. A little costlier but the quality is there. What a pie dilemma. There is even a film called the life of pi. I think they could catch on.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

i,m yorkshire based too but wouldn,t give a pukka pie to my dog or akinfenwa for that. words cannot describe them especially as i don,t want banning from this site. best pies in yorkshire are from keelham farm shop. home made, all under a quid and normal un poncy ones at that.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Quick Question

Whats the " Fishy Site " and why the name then ?

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

The"Fishy Site" is the official Accrington Stanley FC Website where announcements are generally made........sometimes!:rolleyes:

Find it at......... Accrington Stanley - The Club That Wouldn't Die

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Normally made next week.:D also Fishy is slang Abbreviation for official.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

And on occasion the announcements may be a bit fishy too :D

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Thought that must be what was meant just didnt get the fishy bit

Cheers Boys

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Had my first Pukka Pie today - peppered steak. Truly a prince amongst pies! Well done, Stanley, on procuring these excellent comestibles!

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Welcome home buddy!! I had one too v good!

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Cheers, mate. A good afternoon, but too soddin' cold for me. :hothothot See you soon.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Steve !....I am still eructating from the few bites I took from this afternoons aberration of being persuaded by Alfred.E ( who is back again to annoy me !) to purchase one of Pukka Pies Meat and Potato offerings.
I have described the offending comestible on the Grimsby thread in some detail. However I am glad that you discovered some delight in the Pie which you purchased.

Sorry to have missed you this afternoon !.

KTF.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

On this subject, Alan, we will have to agree to differ. Hope to run in to you and Alfred E. soon!

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Can't wait to give them a try and offer my opinion Wyn. Looking forward to standing with you and the rest of the lads as soon as the "gammy leg" allows.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Your place is ready and waiting for you, mate. As for Pukka Pies, I await your opinion with interest! ;)

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

KTF will eat any owd crap.:D

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

and me. stanley do have something in common with most league and top non league clubs that catering is poor and expensive. a lot of grounds however are closer to town centres where there are plenty of other places to eat and drink at normal prices. grimsby, bradford, stockport, hartlepool for a start. stanley really have a captive audiance especially for away fans as drinking points and eateries are a bit thin on the ground around the crown. for this reason in my eyes is common sense to improve on the facilities as much as the club is able to do.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Common sense and Stanley???:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38: :rofl38:I just had to fill a form in yesterday and provide I.D. to renew a concession season ticket.:rolleyes: Wham must think pensioners get younger? utterly STUPID IMHO.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

I'm just thinking, after the dark days not so long ago when we were on our bad run & some were talking about the 'R' word being a real possibility - thank goodness our biggest worry now with 8 games still to play is whether Pukka pies are suitable replacements for Hollands :)

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Only those with a low I.Q. were talking about the "R" word being a possibility! every clubs got em.:rolleyes:

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

although we were playing well in parts earlier we were not scoring and giving the odd goal a game away relagation could have been a possibility. the phrase, we,re too good to go down, has been used many time before this season by others and will certainly be heard again.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Aye but like ive said countless times, even then we were creating chances, its when yeh aint its time to worry, i stand by my thought.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Back to the thread topic guys, 241 posts this one may get to same level as mcmarmites thread

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

I'll elucidate further when I can be arsed, but I agree with the Pukka out brigade. Crap.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

had a meat and pot last night and it was as good as any ive had around the country this year !!!

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Yeh musta had some real crap then.:D

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Stopped off at Sainsbury and bought a pizza that they cooked in 5 mins and we ate in the car. It was blinking crispy and delicious and cheap.
Got a new pre-match ritual sorted. Me and pies are through.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

It must all have been due to my critique of the same so-called delicacies on Saturday night that did the trick !...Someone in quality control, possibly the one who screws the lids on the pies ?, has sat up,taken notice, and improved matters. Then, fortuitously, you went and bought the very pie which they had improved upon !...So you can thank me for your bit of culinary delight in person next time we meet !.

PS. Don't count your chicken pies though.....Next time you might not be so lucky !.:-)

KTF.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

I think it's because I dug out my Grandma's "Notes on being a master baker in Accrington" manuscript, left to me in her will, photocopied the "Keeping Pies Perfect" chapter and sent it to Andy Holt.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

I got so excited by the quality of football on display last night, I forgot to buy a Pukka Pie. Already looking forward to the chicken balti variety at the Crewe match with mouthwatering anticipation!

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

well lets face it wyn, yeh musta got used to foreign muck by now.:D

Re: Who ate all the pies?

[QUOTE=Wynonie Harris;1191199]I got so excited by the quality of football on display last night, I forgot to buy a Pukka Pie.

made two good decisions tuesday night then. come to the game and forgot your pie. hope the crewe game will be as good for your pocket and stomache.

Whereabout is the Sainsbury's in Accy?

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Next door to Waitrose...:rolleyes:

It's next to Heaton Park in north Manchester. Just far enough away to eat a pizza before parking up at the Theatre of Wham.

PUKKA PIES AT BLACKPOOL...

Feeling peckish, and foolishly hoping that the Pukka Pies at Bloomfield Road might just have the edge over the last sorry offering I purchased at the Crown ( Wham !). I slid stealthily up to the food counter and bought one of their Meat and Potato delicacies...In front of other Meat Pie afficionados I unscrewed the lid and what do you think ?..The first centimetre layer of filling was lukewarm, the rest almost cold !.

I took it back and the Catering Supervisor immediately went in search of a Pie which could be described as Hot !.. she found one and with a smile exchanged them !..so kind !.

It was so unpalatable that I almost didn't eat it, but hunger pangs made me finish it apart from three pieces of gristly ' Meat ? '.

Am I to complete what is left of life's journey and not find a Pukka Pie which will satisfy my somewhat demanding tastes in such comestibles ?.

I've got a fiver burning a hole in my pocket so, in hope, I'll try another at the Crown this afternoon !.. .wish me luck !!:rolleyes:

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Chuck yer £5 in the bin mate, its better value.;)

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

You'd have been better venturing onto the prom for some proper fish & chips Alan, then you could've joined the march from the Manchester to the ground with some good grub inside you enabling you to join in the singing :)

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Queued up for most of half time for a pie. The queue never moved. I made the decision to forego the pie and returned back to the Clayton end terrace empty handed. I'm glad I did too otherwise I would have missed our superb goal. Something needs to be done to speed things up at the pie counter.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Eat before the game? ;)

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Just thought I'd treat myself, it's my first game since early Feb, due to sickness. I'll take your advice in future!

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

I did Exile AND at last the Pukka Pie was almost pukka..... I say almost because again,in the opinion of one who has tasted better, the Meat content appeared and proved to be of inferior quality !.

But it was hot, I didn't have to queue at all, so I can take some positives from the experience !.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Lets give pukka pies a chance, they make some good products.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Our fans rep has spoken, Yonmon. Stop criticising and get behind the pies!:rolleyes:

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38: Perhaps if they sold these good products then,everyone would be happy.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Maybe the quality of pukka products is not the same at the game as they sell on supermarket shelves?

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Have no idea about that, i just know whats crap n what aint.:D

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

No! I think they make better ones especially for sale at Stanley

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

I'm not prepared to queue up for half of the afternoon to test your theory Lord S!

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

Some people just don't get irony.
Even DAV fell for it!

Might just be that we are a victim of the transition from v1.0 to v2.0 and old stock is being dumped on us?

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

It fooled me but an earlier post on the Fishy said Eric Twigg was supplying the pies - and I assumed that Yorkshire company made the Pukka products it was supplying at Stanley. But I suspect Lord Didders may have 'twigged' what might have gone on - off-load the old stock at football clubs where punters only have one other choice: to stay hungry.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

The plot...just like the pastry and filling , thickens !.

(My Saturday offering had a dent in the side where someone HAD touched it with a bargepole !. ).

Re: Who ate all the pies?
 

like all the beer they used to sell at blackpool. no comparison to what you got at home and we used to get back onto the bus as sober as we got on.
