A Small Issue
« on: August 03, 2011, 11:25:17 AM »

Last night when I went to the snack bar I was shocked to find that cans of coke were a pound each. I don't know who does the prices in there, most are fine (pies £2, although I am assuming other things have been increased? How much are crisps, chocolate bars etc?) and I know there's been a VAT increase but this seems like the sort of pricing you would find in a premier league ground. I really don't see it as necessary to charge that much and it will put people off buying. I take my younger cousin along sometimes and often buy him cans etc from the snack bar but I won't be doing so at those prices.

I'm not having a pop at those who run the snack bar as you do a very good and I appreciate it but I hope someone has a look at the prices and realize that they\re not appropriate.

I noticed that too last night.

I expect to pay a bit of a premium at a football ground but would expect to pay 60p in a shop and maybe 80p in a snack bar.

Psychologically a £1 sounds a lot more than 80 or 90p.

I've also noticed that gravy is an extra 70p (ish) which is extortionate.

I also think a £1 a can is ridiculous. I paid it last night but not in the future.

We should start calling the gravy 'jus' instead and then we could charge twice as much for it.

50p at my local corner shop. 60p at most places. Quid for a small bottle.

That price will definitely put people off.

Two steak and pygmy pies and chips for you and only a bar of choccy for Tother half ?   ???

You greedy b******d

You should have waited until half way through the second half and have been stood with the Flaggers

He was flogging off 'Pies for a Pound' and did a roaring trade

Mind you we did get free sarnies and a piece of pork pie at Trafford the previous week
