agree about away fans as the wham has a bit of a captive audiance. apart from the chippy on the main road thats about it unless you get there very early and walk into town. think the club could be missing out here.

Re: Review on our pies

As Chrisr said, it is pretty poor that away fans are treated shabbily as regards what's on offer and how much is charged.
I know it must be more difficult to judge how many there will be, but the club can't afford to put off those that do make the effort to visit the ground.

I was not aware of this, guess most people were not? its disgraceful to charge more for away fans as far as i'm concerned.

especially when storm dora bryan comes back and they,re stuck out in the open if they bring a few. need something to eat and drink at the same prices as we pay. i wonder if this puts any off coming as we need as many as possible for our finances.

Best Pies for me are from Porters Butchers in Chatburn. Especially the ones with a slice of Black Pudding under the lid!
Awesome with a bit of Mustard on the top!
No or any other kind of Offal anywhere in sight!


I agree that we need to cater much better for our visiting fellow football supporters.
It is time to put a roof on The Coppice End, improve the toilets and offer equality of service regarding pies etc!

Re: Review on our pies

I think its a bit unfair to criticise the club (at this point) with regard to the differing fayre for home or away supporters.

The Clayton End was redeveloped last summer and the kiosks added. I believe main standers can access these kiosks, and these are club owned, and club run.

The away fans (at this point) have no such kiosks and are therefore provided for by outside caterers. I'm quite sure TPTB will assess the improved revenue on the home end and look to repeat the venture at tuther end asap. However, will the cost of an overall development be justified against an improved away revenue?

AH has said in the past that his priority is to improve facilities for home fans in the hope of increasing and retaining the fan base. Is it acceptable to forego that 'plan' in order to better feed our once a year interlopers? In an ideal world all developments go full steam ahead at the same time, but its not our money that we're trying to spend!

Which is great & all power to the guy, but if the away fans are treated fairly & feel welcomed then they're more likely to return & also put down good money when visiting which also benefits the club in the long term.

Re: Review on our pies

Whilst thats possibly true Dave, the point is that he is trying to prioritise how and where his money is spent. Id rather a happy home supporter than a happy away supporter.

Slightly off topic, but relevant nonetheless, I wonder if we keep tabs on the average spend per person WITHIN the ground? It would make an interesting comparison between home and away fans. I personally never used yo bother eating, as I couldnt queue for beer AND food. Now I get a pie at half time.

Twas a good point raised earlier with regards to away fans not being able to spend money in the vicinity

And that's a proper & sensible approach & it appears from our visit in Feb that things are moving along quite nicely from what we saw. As to average spend, since we normally only get across once a year we're lucky to get in 2 or if really lucky 3 games each time so 2 Adult walk ons 40 quid, a prowey 3 quid, a pie a piece at half time a 5er, then about 10quids worth of nic-naks from the club shop & a couple of quid in 50/50.

All told then about GBP 60 for us on a visit.

The fair thing to do is sell away fans pies at the same price they charge us?
