The Fans Choice Award – New for the 2012 Football Hospitality Awards
Organisers of the Football Hospitality Awards from Stadium Experience met with The Football Pie League recently to announce that the results of The Football Pie League fans vote for the most popular pie in football will be given at the Annual Football Hospitality Awards ceremony. The awards are being hosted on 24th May at the home of Brighton & Hove Albion, The American Express Stadium.
‘The Football Pie League attracts thousands of fans every week throughout the season, and is therefore delighted to be recognised as the new Fans Choice Award. The Award demonstrates the importance of concourse fans who recognise the quality of food, drink and service available to them at football grounds.’ Commented Rowan Crowley, Director, The Football Pie League.

The Football Hospitality Awards were founded in 2005 by members of The Stadium Experience to reward the hard work and determination behind the scenes at our stadia. So much more goes into making a matchday or an event happen than visitors ever realise: the players turning up and the action on the pitch is the reason for every stadia to exist, but the Awards celebrate all the organisation and hard work behind the scenes.
Liseette Maas, Chair of Stadium Experience commented ‘The Fans Choice Award is a new addition to the 2012 Football Hospitality Awards recognising the passion and enthusiasm of our many fans throughout the UK and Ireland who have been actively voting for their favourite pie. The retail catering business at each of our stadia is finally being rewarded and celebrated.’
Tickets for the Annual Football Hospitality Awards can be purchased at £59 each by calling Stadium Experience on 0845 226 5494.
