Specialist Pie shop opening in the new Saints ground : Wed Jan 18, 2012 11:33 pm  

If the pies weren't already envious of our new ground, the Saints have announced that the North stand will contain a specialist Pie shop.

The pie flavours are as follows:-
Just Steak
Minced Beef & Onion
Leek Cheese & Potato
Chicken & Mushroom
Potato & Meat pies on their own at £3

or with mash, potatoes and peas or gravy for £4.50.

Now i have had those Steak pies before from Peters and they contain a bit of a kick.

Chicken and mushroom and a pint. It's all good.

Now I just pray there isn't a 50 foot queue for said vending outlets.

There shouldnt be as there are plenty of bars. Just depends how quick they can serve. This will itself depend on if they have multi pouring machines for the great unwashed who drink Fosters.

Had a look round tonight. The ground for speccies is great no bad views.

Not sure about how the open nature of the ground will work atmosphere wise.

The concourse however is a load of blame claims if its wet.

If its crap weather youll get a soaking getting a beer at some of the bars.

Food wise if the pies are the same as the catering tonight distinctly lacking.

3 quid for a pie is heavy in a town which has a pound bakery doing 2 for a quid.

Maybe that's the difference between having a shop that trades 50+ hours a week compared to one that trades for about 3 hours a fortnight, economies of scale and all that

We always knew you secretly yearn to be Pie Eaters.

Good to see the local health issues being addressed:

"Knowsley residents experience relatively high
levels of unemployment and social deprivation which impact on their
health. For many forms of disease, local people experience
significantly worse health than the rest of the country."

Literally no idea what relevance this has to the thread.

Firstly, have you ever walked round Wigan, it's just as bad as St Helens.

Secondly, when has Knowsley ever had anything to do with the St Helens borough?
