Good evening everyone

As you may or may not be aware I have started a campaign to get Leicester based Pukka Pies to make a Piri Piri Pie for the Walkers Stadium to welcome Paulo to Leicester. I have had coverage in the mercury, radio Leicester and on Leicester sound and the campaign has started well but we do however need more members in the group to make this a reality.

If you are on Facebook then please come and support this campaign by joining the group.

The link is below so please click on it, join and spread the word.

BACK THE BID

Thanks for your support

Paulo sauce-a.

[spiderpig]

Can this 'Piri Piri' do a job for us at right back?

If so, i'll support the bid.

Seems like the perfect time to mention it's pronounced Soh-sah, not Soo-sah. HAVE THAT C-MAN!

Can't see this being the best business decision they could ever make...

To run a small batch it shouldn't be too expensive, plus it'd pay for itself in the free advertising. If they produced 500,000 then yes it wouldn't be the best idea.

I must admit I haven't got a clue what is involved in making a pie, but at a guess they would need to spend time creating and trialing recipes, any new ingredients will need to be negotiated with suppliers, once complete the outcome would need to go to food technicians for analysis (even if it's not printed a company needs to know exactly what is in the pie in terms of fat, etc...), spend time adjusting equipment for a small batch run.
Aside from production you would need design and marketing and other smaller back office things that people tend to overlook like creating new accounts and listings for the new product.

Advertising would be the only benefit they would get out of this, though with the money invested I'm sure they can think of much better marketing ideas.

Like the idea, but can't see it happening.

Anyone else agree the pukka pies are more like PUKEa pies?
I had one once, took a bite only to find it full of baby sick!

pukka pies tend to be ok if you get them first time round.. its when they dont get sold and so get re heated in microwaves later on that they get a bit pukea

I disagree. I like them.

[Bellend Sebastian]

The Balti pies are one of the main reasons I still come to games.

There aren't many others, to be honest

[Narborough_fox]

I love Pukka pies but I mean £2.50 for a pie. No thanks, Sausage rolls for me
