The one thing Forest need to sort out, and sort out now.

Something that has irked me for many years, and I think Forest need to address as soon as possible.

The Pies.

Only two options? No steak and kidney? Who sells Pukka Pies and over looks steak and kidney? Here's a break down of the popularity:

Flavour Popularity
Steak & Kidney 42%
Chicken & Mushroom 32%
Minced Beef & Onion 18%
Others (Steak; Meat & Potato; Balti) 8%

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pukka_Pies

Personally, I rarely bother with the pies for this exact reason. I'd have a steak and kidney pie every game.

Who runs the concessions? I want to write an email.

Given the level of queuing that has to be undertaken to get a pie, I wouldn't bother full stop unless it's one of those odd occasions when I'm in the ground early.

Got to say the fact they don't do the steak & kidney is a bit baffling.
A true classic.

Meat and Tate is clearly the finest pie ever made and only seems to be sold at Forest, no more flavour options are required

No accounting for tate Jelly Bean.
Thats one pie I don't have.
I dont like potato in a pie, or a stew for that matter

Steak only is the best, why taint it with kidney when you can have lovely steak :happy:

The catering at Forest is atrocious and always has been. The hot dogs and burgers are f***ing rank and I found the cornish pastie to be inedible.

The bald chap on Trent Bridge who sells burgers for £2 is the best place to go 8)

Steak pies cost more.

Steak and Kidney is a good price and doesn't have potato in.

Meat and potato would be ok, but for the fact it feels like the meat and potato have been in a blender, and you're eating baby food encrusted in pastry.

Not if you want a steak and kidney pie, like 42% of pie eaters.

Only 8% want either chicken balti or meat and potato.

How do we know you didn't manipulate the statistics? Wikipedia != a trusted source :p

A pork/beef and stuffing cob from the Pavilion Road cob shop pisses over any pie or burger available from the City Ground environs anyway!

I agree, but that's pregame snackage.

I'm talking half time.

It also baffles me that they don't sell mushy peas and mint sauce in the winter months. Quid a pot, would fly out.

My main problem is that they don't pour 50 odd pints about 15 minutes before the end of the half.

Have a beer only queue and sell them for exactly £3 not £3.10 (less change to worry about.)

But know, you pop down just into injury time and theres a crush of a queue and pints being poured as they're ordered.

Muppets.


Oh, and Balti Pies all the way for me.

Why don't they scrap the pints and just sell the pint bottles? Much quicker and easier.

I imagine its a lot cheaper to buy the barrels for draught rather than bottles.

The mark up defecit would be negated by the volume sales.

Agreed, the burgers in the Main Stand are almost inedible. (I've never thrown one away)

The queues are twenty minutes, hang on lets get a new stadium.

The catering at the ground has not been good for some time; regardless of the quality (or lack of) the worst thing is the queues; I don't bother at half time, as it is difficult to get served and have time to eat/drink before the start of the second half!

As for pies; my pre-match setup is usually Steak and Kidney Pukka Pie and Chips from the chippy on Radcliffe Road - £3.20 yesterday! :-*
