Hearts pies - (no Chris Robinson content)

[Golden Bear]

I was beginning to think that this was April 1st and not March 1st, but naw, looks like the yams have come up with this pie o neering scheme according to an article in tonight's EEn.

"the groundbreaking scheme will see supporters send their orders to the snack bar via a smart phone app, with their grub then delivered to their seat by stadium staff. And orders can even be paid electronically, removing the scramble for change at the till. The cutting - edge service will be available to all 3000 supporters seated in the Wheatfield Stand during this Saturday's home fixture with Motherwell"

The mind boggles - it really does.

Laugh all you want...thats a great idea. I almost missed the Killie goal on Wednesday due to the queues. Think this is a superb idea. Wonder how much it is costing them though? Also...how many will do it that wouldn't just for the idea of it? Bet they make a bit of dough from this...

you do have to wonder where their Pie-orities lie (sorry i never join in the pun threads ) pie delivery service Apps, 3D Programmes and the like its like they have nothing to worry about

This isn't an initiative instigated by Hertz - it's been introduced by their contract catering firm, Saltire.

All costs and profits go one way...and it's not into the Yam's coffers.

[Bostonhibby]

all is barry

[Bostonhibby]

incidentally, surely some lithuanian chancer could persuade them to buy 500 years worth of pies in advance, cash only payable immediately to help save their club?

You are absolutely correct.

It is actually a very good idea to utilise otherwise "redundant" catering staff during the start of the match and half time.

fat lazy *****

Do they not sort of do this in the States. Vendor at end of row passes food and everyone passes it along honestly. Looking at some of the monsters in their support my guess is that most pies won't make their final destination and those that do will have passed through hands that have been recently pished upon and not washed. Not for me I'm afraid.

[FranckSuzy]

It's a good idea by the catering company but, maybe it's just me, I reckon it's bound to be pretty annoying having the staff bring the goodies to the paying punter's seat at any time during the game. What if either team's about to take a penalty and the boy pitches up with a pie for someone. Will they a) wait till it's taken or b) expect you to let them past because they'll not be watching the action on the pitch?

The theory is good but in practice I'm not convinced that it will work. I'm pleased that the residents of piggery park are being used as guinea pigs and I suppose it it works then it can be adopted by us BIG clubs at a later date.

[GlenrothesHibee]

Will they want to sit and wait on their pies while watching their team get pumped yet again?

They will be untouched by human hands when they reach their intended pie face. .

[Kojock]

We complain enough about people going to the toilet / pie stand during the game so having to stand up every two minutes to let the pie deliverer past will go down a treat.

I'd suggest this will be carnage.

[stu in nottingham]

When do they serve the humble pie?

I'm looking forward to the app that allows me to engage in a half-time pish without leaving my seat...or perhaps not.

[Hovehibby]

they should add bake-sale cakes to the menu, should make a fortune..........

Why? Do you know the system they operate, operation and logistics in place and how the other 5 games that it was operated actually worked? Just wondering?

Personally know one of the guys who work for saltire and sounds like they have done their homework on it, first stadium in UK, that's pretty impressive

Pity the stadium wont be there long enough to make anything out of it !!

[hibbymick]

Anyone remember the days when you would send a chinese delivery to a neighbour you didnt like

6 pies and 3 cokes to seat 44 row d please......Muhahahahahaha

[macca70]

Great idea,

Only issue I see with it, you order through an app on your Smartphone.

Anytime I try get on tinternet when inside ER to check scores etc, it is painfully slow or doesn't connect.

Not sure if it is just a poor reception area or if its due to so many folk all in the area with there phones trying to pick up signal.

If not, we're going to have some fun :)

Obviously you do trials with a small section in order to iron out any potential issues, its brand new so like any system of that kind I would guess they need to trial it until dying to serve x thousand people

[Archie70]

Cashstrapped managerless club on the brink of oblivion but fear not 3D programmes and pie delivery makes everything alright!
