New prices at the lane

[Blade56]

Twickenham is expensive but £7 includes the cup deposit doesn't it? Think the liquid is £5.50-odd


You're conflating P&L income (USG sponsorship) with capital spend (ground improvements, transfers). Cash is a different matter but we should be more than fine at the moment.

Yes he just told me about the deposit, £1 but you had to return it after game. Queue was massive but he picked up abandoned glasses and cashed in tight bastard

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

The pub trade is in a right state at the minute.

Save your money buying a beer in the ground & spend it in your local instead.

Tek t'lad art a'Yarkshire etc etc

I did the same last time I was there. £20 back - paid for my post-match pints! Let me know if he or you are ever in the area as I can give you some local advice.

 

[ghandi]

Son paid £7/pint at Twickenham yesterday.



Fully agree BJ, nice cooked English in the morning, light lunch and one of the post match luxuries is pie mash and peas or fish and chips or pizza etc as soon as we get home with a few cups of tea

Kin Hell that's a heart attack diet!

What’s a Heineken PET ? £5 for Fosters and John Smiths in a region famous for its ales

You can get a 3 course meal at Newcastle for less than £10

The Premier League's going to turn us into a right bunch of cunts.

 

[bongleblade]

Never understood the need to queue for ever to pay stupid money for food or drink in a football ground.
Eat beforehand and likewise get some ale down.
Ffs it's only 90 minutes.
Bit like the fucktards that buy food and drink on a 2 hour Ryanair flight.

or just pocket a small tinny/g+t can before the game, crack it when your in

Thought we already were after kidney punching old women and pushing disabled kids down stairs?

 

[Ricky]

Maybe from some of the £100m the club will be getting from the Premier League?

In my opinion we’ve really missed an opportunity to reward long-suffering fans by not maintaining as many of the matchday costs as possible in light of the large influx of cash. Instead of that we seem to be basically ratcheting up anything we’re selling – basic ticket price, membership price (while at the same time reducing its worth), food & drink, even the programme. I don’t recall us doing this quite as drastically on everything last time we came up to this league. In fact I thought we kept everything very affordable.

Funny isn't it, the fans are the only ones who don't financially benefit from the Premier League yet the prices are going up for everything they can think of.

Bloke who sits near us drinks in town beforehand, gets in ground for about 2.45, another couple of bottles, takes his seat 5 minutes after kick-off, disappears to the bar on 35-40 minutes, reappears 5 minutes into second half......must watch 70 minutes of the game, maximum.....! I know a lot like the "craic" on matchday, I like a couple of scoops before and after just as much as the next man but really?

 

[TJB.]

Five pounds for a pint of Fosters is disgusting.

Then again, charging any amount of money for Fosters is still pretty bad.

 

[YES Blade]

There are a couple of old boys that sit on the Kop who bring in a hip flask complete with small metal cups for a half time nip of their favourite tipple. Gotta be a better option than the cans?

Ah, you must be sitting near Ainsley Harriott

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

The ground is situated within walking distance of any number of pubs and bars selling decent ale, much locally produced, at much cheaper prices. Food outlets such as takeaways, cafes, restaurants not to mention aforesaid pubs selling food are plentiful.

Why bother in the ground?

[shorehamview]

Five quid for a pint of Fosters or John Smiths is five quid more than it's worth.

 

[FinchleyBlade]

This along with forcing fans to pay 40 quid for a membership to get tickets is really starting to kill some goodwill towards the club. Greed.

Do they think they are in London or something? The average wage in Sheffield is 18k per year ffs.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

It’s a good job they’ve melted my heart with the grinning emoji, because otherwise I’d find the club being jokey about a price rise for f̶a̶n̶s̶ customers a little tone-deaf.

We have the lowest priced season tickets in the league by some way, and many don't pay the full price either. The cost of the football for regulars is surely the most important thing, anything else on top is optional and just part of the match day experience should you want it, and is precisely where the club should be maximising revenue.

More interested to see how season ticket prices will change come the end of the season if we are still in the top league.

Regarding the programmes, you could argue that over a season, if you buy each one, you will save £2.50 compared to last season as there's fewer games

Some are already there.

Definitely fake. No way we’d allow such shit drinks in our ground.

 

[bypassblade]

£5 a pint OMG but that's the sign of the times instead of saying it's our 1st season for 12 years let's treat fans, you know £2.50 a pint no £5.00. When I started going in pubs it was 15p or 17p a pint, remember in my local Birley when it went up to 19p there was anarchy.

 

[FinchleyBlade]

tbh anyone who can't go 90 minutes without a pint deserves to pay 5 quid for it.

They should let us all in free and provide taxis for everyone* to and from the match.


* Except those with less than 500 loyalty points, and dogs, obviously.

Im pretty sure that picture of prices was from the Rod Stewart gig the other month...came from PaddysMad on Twitter???

I believe there's a Prosecco and Gin Bar in the South this season. One staff member takes the order, another gets it from the cooler. The third takes the foil off and hands it to the fourth, the decorker. When they can't get the cork out, the assistant decorker has a go, and having one GCSE succeeds. The foil remover pours 2/3 of the bottle into the glass, filling it to the brim. Customer pays and asks for bottle with the rest in. He's told he can't have the bottle due to H&S rules. He kicks off and then discovers it's warm as well. All bar managers disappear.

Next in line is a cunt in red trousers, who asks what flavour gins they have and do they stock Fever Tree mushroom and camomile flavour. Man behind him, who wants a Mars Bar gets a flick knife out......

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I won't be paying £5 for a pint. Still there is an upside, I'll get more time to smoke in the bogs.

You can only smoke in the bogs now if you have 500 Kensitas vouchers......
