Most expensive beer in the Premier League!!!!

[Moomin]

Just seems really short sighted from the club in such a blue collar area. They have a one in a lifetime chance to make people switch drinking habits from outside to inside the footprint of the ground, making money and having opportunities to engage.

Yet someone in corporate has sold them a modelling for short term win and then bought it. The fans get fleeced enough in the game let them enjoy a reasonable priced pint.

People would probably stay in the ground longer if it was reasonably priced.

Over £1.50 more expensive than Spurs.

It also sets the perception from the off that it's an expensive place to drink. So even if they reduce prices in future might be harder to shift habits.

There'll be queues stretching back into town of people swigging cans of Carlsberg to avoid an £8 pint. The scenes of fans pissing off that bascule bridge will be spectacular; the canal will be raised by about another foot.

People will have to do sponsored walks from Moorfields to pay for a pint and a sausage roll.

I'm sure Levy will rectify this once he hears about it.

Theres also safety considerations if the club also instigate a pre game and post game rush in an area with limited entry and exit points. All because some bellend in corporate sold them a quick buck for their annual bonus.

Which is one of the issues for the council with the bedouin tent across the road according to the Echo.

Not exactly joined up thinking at this stage at this new facility. No doubt it'll be ironed out in the future, but it's seat of the pants stuff at the moment.

...and that's all besides the calamity in waiting at Sandhills.

You know beneath the casual and passive posting were all just basically waiting for a spark in this thread don’t you?

Five years they’ve watched a stadium being built on their doorstep, it’s incredible and more so the doubling down. And you got Merseyrail head patting on the day. Incredible.

Apparently it's all been a grand plan costing £700M to help people get their steps in.

If I were doing the risk assessment, I would be far more concerned with the scenario of the ale being cheap enough to get half cut inside the ground. Bearing in mind some of the stands have sharper gradients than the South Col of the Eiger, we would have a situation where the club were being sued by thousands of bladdered blues who had gone tumbling head over heels down the stands like Buster Keaton with an ear infection!

Fans are gonna turn up drunk whether inside or out so litigation wouldn’t be a consideration. However at the last test event I did walk to the back of that big stand and back and thought we’re gonna lose a few people on them stairs. Steep like, imagine a last minute winner how many rows you could travel.

On the subject of the pricing, it’s obviously very short sighted of the club to charge these levels of prices that are so out of step with the local area. For the game today people may have food and drink inside the stadium to try it. But given that the majority of tickets sold are season tickets, these people are not going to pay £2 more for a pint every home game, than it costs in a pub across the road.
The club said they wanted people to spend more time at the ground before and after the match, with these prices, not many will.
