Who ate all the pies?

HAVING travelled down from Horsham to the American Express Community Stadium to watch the Albion play Newcastle in the FA Cup, my family and I were really disappointed to find out after queuing for half an hour there were no hot pies on sale before the game.

However, we thought we would try again at half time. So as not to be disappointed this time, we missed the last five minutes of the first half to start queuing. After waiting 20 minutes, we finally got to the front of the queue to be told there was no food left at all – not even a chocolate bar or packet of crisps! My two young children were left hungry and extremely disappointed.

I find this totally unacceptable. This was not the first time this has happened. Is this what we have to endure for the next five years of the club’s catering contract? Am I alone, or do other Seagulls fans feel the same?

Just buy them before you get to the ground. It might well be the cheaper option, depending on how you travel. And if you buy them in Horsham, you'll be supporting one of your local businesses.

Here's an idea, why not eat at what is called 'lunchtime'' go to the football & then eat again at what has been for a good century or two called 'dinnertime'....I can't imagine how you cope without a big pie at 3 o'clock every day, it must be terrible

if you went to the stadium for about 1:30 you'd get food no trouble. Seriously, the catering company Azure aren't doing a good job of it, so why not help yourself out and go a little earlier to ensure a bite to eat? Instead of just complaining and seeing if a failing catering service is going to pull something out of the hat.
