Sounds like some of you would be better off going to the local farmers market rather than the footy.

I make marmalade if you want some.

If the club genuinely want people to drink at the ground both before and after the game then they should really make sure they're offering stuff that will encourage people to do it. Selling bog standard drinks at hugely inflated prices isn't really going to do that so it's worth commenting on, but we'll see how it goes.

I would suggest they are providing some of the most popular brands for the masses rather than craft/small batch ales for the more discerning.

And which venues don't sell at hugely inflated prices ? You're a captive audience you pay the premium.

I'm sure I read that they will be selling local beers also, which will include craft beers

Probably already been asked, but if I end up in a Club View seat, because the rest of East looks near off gone now, can I still re-list my tickets for games I can’t attend?

I don't think you're really understanding the point at all.

Like I said earlier, it's all personal preference and I'm aware of that. Personally I think anyone drinking Corona past the age of 19 should have their hard drive checked but I don't dispute that people do it. 'Craft' is just a generic term, it's not a niche market by any means and we're not talking about tiny independent brewers. I think craft makes up about 15% of the market these days in terms of sales. I assume the figures you're looking at retail sales too rather than draft sales which makes a huge difference when we're talking about what you can buy on draft.

Of course prices will be high, again you're just not understanding. The point is if the product quality is low and the price point is high then people are less likely to stick around to drink. It's a captive market while the game's on but I won't be getting there early or sticking around late to drink Guinness at 9 quid a pop.

I'm not really that arsed pal, it was more a comment on people cryarsing about anything and everything before anything has been announced or confirmed.

But you crack on.

Good day.

Right. I mean I don't think anyone was actually doing that but yeah, let's all just crack on.

7 of those 8 (San Miguel is okay) you would be better off drinking your own piss.

 

[JLW]

Wheres the Cruzcampo option by far the best beer on draft.

Back on topic.

The grounds boss and i cant wait to get in there get smashed on whatever beer and then leave in the 77th minute when Norwich score a 3rd.
