O/T I know .. but we are defo having the piss taken ..Bargain Booze Wig Lane .. our favourite Australian Chardonnay .. £6.50 .. meanwhile .. ‘every little helps ‘ Tesco .. next door, basically … £8.25 .. factor in the accusations of fuel prices too .. robbing bastards .. and , from the biggest UK grocer , with the HUGE advantage of ‘Economy of Scale ‘ .. something VERY sinister happening imo ..
.26.92% difference ????
29 August 2023 at 8:54 am #200912Stadium prices are ridiculous as well, £5.95 for a pint of Madri in Whelans and on the concourse, started off at £4.60 two years ago in Rigalletos.
Surely making the club sustainable shouldn’t mean ripping off the fans.
In the local Co-op you can buy a pack of 10 beers for £10 – £12
Fuck the EFL
29 August 2023 at 12:05 pm #200918People have a choice whether to buy or not, it’s not mandatory.
29 August 2023 at 2:23 pm #200919A pint was 1 shilling and sixpence at Goole in 1971
Allegedly…
29 August 2023 at 3:37 pm #200923Decimalisation was in February 1971, before we played Goole away that season. I’m thinking more like 10p-12p for mild/bitter. I was only sixteen (looked about 12) and didn’t try to get a pint there!

Point taken, but lots of fans enjoy a pint or two at the game before the game and half time etc, a lot of the older guys especially that maybe on a pension, the fans are being priced out of buying from the stadium, not sure on food prices but to charge nearly £6 a pint is scandalous!
Fuck the EFL
29 August 2023 at 8:19 pm #200925£7.20 .. a gallon of petrol .. £50 a gallon of Guinness , Madri , Peroni etc . do the maths ..all sponsored by ‘drink aware ‘ ..we are being taken as fools .. which , of course , we are
Not a question of being mandatory .. affordability !
29 August 2023 at 8:53 pm #200927Whelans bar last Saturday, bloke in front of me asked for a no alcohol lager.
£3.80 for a half pint bottle, the guy turned to me and said ‘first and last’ absolute rip off.
Fuck the EFL
29 August 2023 at 9:12 pm #200928A coffee and Madri last Saturday was nearly a tenner , unbelievable !
Used to be able to go out on a Friday night and have 6 pints of lager a bag of chips and ten cigs and still have some change from a fiver !
Inflation calculator tells me that in real terms that fiver would be worth £15 today meaning prices have gone through the roof haven’t they?
6 pints of lager , a bag of chips and ten cigs would be comfortably double that and more today. -
