For the 3rd or 4th time its the lidder that is smaller so you get less crust around your pie making then look smaller.

I have no idea. Worse, I didn’t know till I got homeDid you somehow manage to sling the pie over your shoulder then? Or did you just sit on it?

Personally, thought the cardboard tasted better than the pie.
It's not just pies . . . As 'customers' everything's dealt with according to accountants and corporate Opinions. Nothing to do with anything else.
I've read repeated posts saying the same things, erosion of privilege and luxury* (*in a manner of speaking) which is paid for at a significant premium. . . . The general gist I get is the club want all you 'normal 1901' members out as a new wave of utter loons are prepared to pay twice as much, for half as much and spend 3 times more for crap on top.
I think your sig covers on what you have posted.

Can we expect jellied eels on the menu on Saturday week too then?

Oh could the pies in the cardboard be spun like a frisbee across the stand into an attacking players face? Is this the new bottle top \o/

My “something else” is that my preferred pie delivery mechanism is the naked breasts of a beautiful woman.

The queues in WSU were ridiculous on Saturday with a lack of urgency from the staff that was bordering on performance art so I didn't get to have a pie despite queuing for 20 minutes, but at the friendly the other week found the sleeve to be a hazardous exercise in spillage avoidance, so I'm Team Box.
Would fit in with Paul Barber’s “no tops” policy for the bottles

TBH, thats the first style that came to mind when thinking "what would I do"....
Although I wouldn't say it was meant to be used as a plate - just keep the pie inside it while you eat

Im not a STH and haven't been to an Albion game since CH was in charge...so no.
As a packaging designer, those types of sleeves arent meant to be used as "plates" - in the 25yrs I've been in the business I've never heard of them being used as such anyway. You do what you want though....inside, outside...whatever. Just putting over my pov

So what are they supposed to be used for then, in your experience? I can see how they'd be fine for holding, say, a brownie or cookie or something fairly solid. But as a holder for a really expensive molten pie with a pitifully unstable crumbly casing? Sorry, nah, they're completely unfit for purposeIm not a STH and haven't been to an Albion game since CH was in charge...so no.

Sorry to disagree, but mine worked perfectly for that very purpose, it held everything together really well and l didn't even drop a crumb. Holding the pie through the sleeve seemed to increase the rigidity somehow.So what are they supposed to be used for then, in your experience?

Totally unlike the bag that it has been served in for the past few seasons, where l couldn't get hold of the pie properly, and some of it's contents just dropped into the bag.

If I were a betting man (which I am whenever possible) I'd wager that those idiotic not-fit-for-purpose sleeves will be replaced with something sensible PDQ
My hot dog was definitely smaller
