I begrudge paying ridiculous beer prices as much as the next person but having already forked out over £100 for the privilege of seeing us play in an FA Cup final the Salford household budget can go whistle.
Enjoying the day out will be the top priority for me.
£100 is the weekly budget for most of Salford isn’t is SL? (disclaimer: excludes Worsley, Monton and a bit of Eccles)
Just for the record I’ve never had to go to the bog while the game is being played, saying that I’ve made some pretty quick dashes on the half time whistle.

Depends if you are over 25 then you get a bit more….
I must be one of the lucky ones working in Monton.
As has been said, a couple of thousand people not buying a pint is a drop in the ocean for the FA. The only real way to worry them would be if football fans threatened to boycot the products of any sponsor of the FA Cup unless they change the kick-off time for future matches. That, or the product of any company that advertises druing the half time ITV ad breaks.
have it before the game………the amount of people i saw walkin straight through stewards in the semi was unbelievable…..take a hip flask in!!!
…take a hip flask in!!!
And get arrested and a ban if caught.
He is right, there were two blokes sat in front of me with hip flasks… Have to say one did fall asleep about 5mins after kick off for the duration of the game :lol:
I was shocked how many were happily supping away, despite the fact that it was almost £5 a pint. Do some people have more money than sense?
And I saw plenty buying food inside…..£8.50 for a small burger and a handful of chips in a box? Ridiculous.
I didn’t buy a thing inside the stadium at the semi, as I took lots of food along with me. I’d gone in Tesco on the Friday and they have a reduced shelf. It’s brilliant for pies, sliced cooked meat, etc. £2.35 for a quality pack of sliced gammon ham. For £10 I grabbed a comparative feast.
Might indulge in some stadium fayre at the final, just because its….the final. Won’t be supping my hard earned (lol) away though. Not at those prices. Shall be trying to get in the Crystal, instead.

I said I wasn’t gonna buy anything at the stadium at those prices & still wound up havin a pint in there before kick off & one at half time!!!
Mind you:
a) it tasted better than the DW slop &
b) it was still cheaper than the ale I bought at that beer festival before the Liverpool game!!!
