        Stadium 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

        People have a choice whether to buy or not, it’s not mandatory.

        A pint was 1 shilling and sixpence at Goole in 1971 :yahoo:

        Allegedly…

        Decimalisation 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!

              Whelans 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.

                A 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.
