Title: Chicken Balti Pies - Arkells and Kingswood
Post by: Luci on Thursday, January 10, 2008, 12:54:41
So how long have been selling these in these stands?  

Is this something we can thank Fitton for?  :mrgreen:

They've been available for as long as I can remember, I've never understood why everyone says you cant get 'em.

Do they do them in the Town End?  I've never been able to get them! :soapy tit wank:

Bet they are not as nice as Hereford or Wolves though!  Mind you Hereford's probably tasted nice because I was pissed and Wolves was years ago but never tasted better since!

Great thread by the way, although I am now starting to feeling hungry! :o

Nottingham Forest and Huddersfields pies take some serious beating IMO!

Surely there is a big market for this in the Town End, bit like alcohol!  Imagine the extra revenue they would get by selling Alcohol in the town end!  Isn't there a reason why they can't do this though?

Something to do with a law about not being allowed to consume alcohol in view of the pitch (ie: the corner). I think.

To me, the Town End is very similar to the away end at Hartlepool and  I consumed alcohol in the corner of their away end in full view of the pitch last season.  Is it not something to do with the numpty's at the council that have to grand a license or something?

Something to consider in any future development plan then.

Like I said, I think.

Just remember it from something RobT posted on the subject a while ago. Then again, you were up north  :)

   Does that mean you're pie curious?

    The license situation at the CG, has something to do with Arkell's.  In the very early days they helped out with funds, for ground improvements etc....and in return insisted that beer shouldn't be sold in the ground, so as not to compete with their pubs.

I seem to remember Walsall did every pie known to man as the company that makes them sponsor a stand or something.

You've got to get in quick for the Baltis in the Arkells

Can't beat the pies at Man City when we played them at Maine Road.

on the subject of catering...

i have recently noticed that we are now selling proper hot-dogs, i.e. bockwursts, and not burnt sausages.

as this has been implement pre-takeover then i must give a hearty thank you to the previous board. this is very much appreciated. a gift from them, to me, if you will.

what i would like the new board to do, though, is to introduce ketchup and mustard dispensers as those little sachets just don't do the job.

I feel all warm and comforted having found this.  Whilst I make a wicked pie, these were shop-bought and from Wigan.  But they are pretty damned good and I am happy to organise a truck load for interested parties at a suitable North West game.
