Indeed. Can't see where it'd be sold either considering clubs/stadiums all have individual catering contracts.

Fair enough. Didn't bother reading the link as I'd seen the jist of the story on Teletext.

Anyone know why a Welsh company are ignoring potential sales with their local Super League club by only rolling it out across the North, though?

Does nobody bother informing themselves before rushing to comment?

Based in Caerphilly, South Wales Peter’s Food has grown from a small pie manufacturer in Merthyr Tydfil to a company which bakes over 180 million pies, pastries and sausage rolls each year, delivering to a whole range of clients from major supermarket chains to stadiums, convenience stores and fish and chip shops.

…

The company is already supplying the likes of London Wasps, The Millennium Stadium, Cardiff City, Charlton Athletic and Sheffield United where pies sales have all increased ahead of the market.
