I can't see what was wrong with Clayton Park pies, I had one of the 'new' meat and potato pies last week and not only have they gone up in price, they have changed suppliers (for the worse). I doubt I will buy another as it was dry, appeared smaller and less tasty.
I know you can't please everyone all of the time but I feel that these were not 'taste tested' by a panel of Latics staff prior to going ahead with changing them. If it is a supply issue with Clayton Park pies then fair enough but at least substitute the pies to a better tasting pie. Can we not employ a local bakery such as Village Manor bakery in Waterhead to supply us the pies?
They really are some of the nicest around and have been since I was little (over 30 years).
On the subject of hot drinks, its a fact that the Kenco cups etc are around 30p each to buy when buying in bulk. Forget charging £2+ for one, drop them to £1-£1.20 each and I'll have two EVERY match. Instead, I do without and when its cold take my own flask purely to the cost factor.
Whatever happened to pile them high sell them cheap as the saying goes. Potentially, Latics are losing out on around £130 of business on coffee and pies alone just from me. This isn't factoring in my son and grandson who attend most matches with me. OAFC, you do the maths and see that I'm a missed opportunity (as my old headteacher once said hehe) for income.
Rant over.
