[Albion] Piglet's Sausage Rolls

[HeaviestTed]

In the north stand I had a beer and a piss at half time, life is good.

There’s a very stout fellow in the ESU who often wears a t-shirt that says”Sex, Drugs and Sausage Rolls” .He was in his element yesterday.

A vote here for the cardboard containers, the bags made the pies sweat and get soggy.

Yeah definitely they're less sweaty now, but the filling is still hotter than Oppenheimer's Greenhouse so took me f***ing ages to chomp through.

That’s the one.

Didn’t realise the Harvey’s wall thing is still open in WSU. Never see anyone serving but perhaps just don’t notice them among the scrum. We looked at it yesterday and thought it was just being used as a bar to put your pint on.

When I go on other concourses, it does feel like the WSU is the poor relation for some reason.

I think, like that little kiosk, the Harveys Wall wasn't operational for most/all of last season but seemed to be open again yesterday.

Heard by text exactly the same, and along with the comments about the new Tunnel Club seats it’s a good job we won! I gather quite a few 1901ers were less than happy about yet more downgrading of the experience. Chipping away year by year

Does seem an own goal by club, again. People are used to walking up to bar, buying a pie at same time as a drink and moving to the left immediately after to pick up their pie. No fuss, wait or queue. Importantly no complaints!

Now, pay more for ‘added value’ additional side extras don’t want, be forced to give a table number (“er, wait, I don’t have one”), wait an hour and nothing turns up, become hangry, watch staff walking around not knowing where any of the table numbers are anyway, miss start of game, feel pissed off at the chaos and shambles, spoil day been looking forward to before started and pay through nose for the experience. That’s just be observing as an infrequent visitor to 1901. My advice? I’ll stick to the north stand thank you. Ow, and packets of crisps

This is spot on

It’s a ridiculous decision that means you now can’t get any food at half time at all, senseless?!

1901 is nowhere close to the dream that was sold to me at the start but it’s still a decent experience that seemed worth the money until now, as you say if it’s not broke don’t fix it, they’ve royally f’ed this one up.

Being degraded every season, little by little

Being degraded every season, little by little

Unfortunately so, isn’t there someone on the FAB that is supposed to represent 1901 members? Anyone know who that is?

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Only £5.80!
If that’s cheap what do they consider a standard price for a sausage roll?
£7?

Weirdly the sausage rolls are more expensive than the pies.

That does seem weird but, given the quality of the sausage rolls, maybe they contain more meat.

Jo. If it’s any consolation, she experienced same problems yday in 1901 as we all did! The Albion doesn’t discriminate. Everyone gets shite service!

 

[banjo]

£5.80 and they seem smaller.

Ask him if he's tried them together.

Outraged that you can’t get a pie or sausage roll in 1901 unless it is a meal - bring them back!!!

 

[tigertim68]

I had one , don’t think they were as good as last season

Thinking about it , definitely not as tasty as last season

Write to 1901@brightonandhovealbion.com. I have (and to the FAB).

Bound to bring on indigestion.

I'd recommend Gaviscon.

It’s not weird, it’s because they are bigger and better.
