Yeah i'd have to agree, they are unbelievable pies, never knew they got them from Grange.
Seems like the queue is way to long at half time, I often walk to the other corner to get served, not sure how they're going to handle a near capacity game on Saturday. Anyway on a lighter note.
I thought Greens still held that acolade?
I very rarely buy pies these days - I like to cook my own food so I know what's in it . However, having been brought up across the road from Greens in the 70s, I can honestly say I never tasted a better pie in Barrow, or any where else for that matter. The queues were testimony to their quality. I often looked from our living room in astonishment at the number of people waiting to savour them.
I also remember a coach of Orient fans turning up outside the public park one Saturday morning, prior to their afternoon fixture with us, asking for the nearest chippy. We directed them down the road to Greens. They returned and ate their pies whilst watching us play footy before asking us for the obligatory contest. Needless to say, us young guns of LA13 hammered those pie eating Cockneys! A good bunch, mind, who also affirmed the savoury delights of the Greens Pie...
I've had pies from Greens and they are pretty good but I've never tasted pies anywhere near as good as we got from Jackmans on Walney in my youth.

Ok daft question, it's going to be at the club i.e cross bar for photos, but will it be on display on the pitch as the players leave the tunnel for kick off?
Cheers,

I would hazard a guess that hospitality groups have given up their seats and opted for ground tickets. Think a former member of this forum suggested in a previous post that his group have done this.

It says on the mail's website that 125 were sold today so that should leave 325 I think

Thanks, but it's a bit sad when you have to rely on outside info as the club cannot update twitter or the official website. I suppose they have a game to prepare for in Saturday
