Depends if you are buying or selling! If you are buying it is certainly 25%. If you are selling you argue that it is a mere 20%. Either way a big price hike! |

Apologies pie lovers - original price was £8.50, an increase of £1.45, a whopping 17% increase to the buyer! |

Enjoyed a very nice Steak and Ale Pie at the Rugglestone Inn again - just a bit too much gravy for my liking though - would rate it 7/10 - any thoughts?  [img src=" ![]() |

[img src=" ![]() Not sure it qualifies as a pie - more like a stew with a pastry lid. Not that keen on chips with Pie and that much gravy - too northern! |

Excellent Steak and Stilton Pie up at the Dumpling last night, washed down with an excellent couple of pints of DD (Not Double Diamond) took away the horrors of Saturday afternoon.

Taken from today's i newspaper
Fans find 'pie tax' hard to stomach
Supporters have criticised a new £5 "pie tax" in Ellands Road's South Stand.
This month adult ticket prices will rise to £42 and include a "meal deal"
voucher - even if fans don't want it
Leeds Supporters' Trust chairman Michael Green said: "The whole thing has been
introduced (by) a club that is completely out of touch with its supporters. The
club has an issue of how to keep one of the best supports in the country loyal."
A spokesperson for Leeds United said: "The club is looking at ways to encourage
supporters to use the facilities."

Frankly I'm more staggered that it already cost £37 to watch a struggling club in the Championship, than the additional £5 levy. I think I've been away from UK for too long. |

I mean £37, really?? I am amazed anybody would be able to stomach a £5 'meal deal' after that!!! |

Microwaved to perfection and washed down with a delicious icy cold bottle of Stella Artois. Could be in for a cracker on Sunday. Off to drop the youngest to school later.
