At least the queues would be better

Reckon the club should whack the price of a pint up to £6 (or higher) for half time and ten minutes either side of half time.

Might focus minds, maximise income and make the queues vanish pronto tonto. Most in the half time queue have zero hope of reaching the front of the queue anyway.

If you need a half time beer THAT bad, you pay the premium or go without. Guess what, you'll survive somehow.

It wont worry me as I cannot afford or wont pay the prices asked in pubs now, disregarding The Amex which will be dearer. Have only had a pie when included in beam back price as again I do not think that they are VFM.

I love a half time pint along with thousands of others! Your idea is ridiculous!

Very rarely buy a pint at the ground nowadays - i was when you where getting 10% off a pint with your ST but not worth it now

Same. Thousands of us would currently like to stand any kind of chance of reaching the front of the queue for a half time pint. Whack a couple of quid on a pint for that golden half time period and the stupidly long queues might - just MIGHT - f*ck right off for once. Currently, the vast majority of the huge number of people in that queue stand absolutely no chance of getting served, but they just waste their time standing there gormlessly anyway. Same for friendlies. Same for beambacks. The current half-time arrangement is just unfit for purpose.

If it was £5 a pint and you thought to yourself "I'm not paying that", how long would you last before eventually just paying it?

Is it not £5 already? Even at £5 I would think thats a bargain at a PL game - I would expect around £5.50 - £6

Well played. You did forget to mention that every extra revenue stream has to be looked at as ultimately it enables the club to put more money into the playing budget.

Sorry, yes of course. Such schemes allow the team to be more competitive on the pitch!

Please let the football season start and we can get back to worrying about what's most important - the performance of the team.

So another season looms of you being a miserable old git.
Looking forward to it.
Wherever you go I'll not be far behind :moo:

As long as The Swan is fair with its prices that's where most of my hard earned will go :drink:

Maybe the strictly unofficial football village circus outside Falmer station on matchdays will expand to include an ice-filled skip full of reasonably-priced beers :cheers:

Sounds good to me.
Although a skip is £250.00 to hire :ohmy:

How about one of these blue plastic mini-skip things?

Send me a photo.
I have a big blue bucket but that will only be just adequate for mine and Wrong-Direction's beer

Considering an under 10 ticket has gone up by 150% I think it's highly likely that beer and pies will go up.

I am not sure if you joking

150% increase or did you mean a 15% increase

pishhead · Jul 9, 2017

In all seriousness I guess it will depend entirely on the terms of the contract within which Sodexo operate. Personally I envisage a 10p a pint rise.

Have had 6 pints from hand pumps in propper glasses in 6 different pubs. Kept thinking that maybe the next pint might get better (never had more than 1 pint in each of the pubs). The last time the landlord in the pub said that others had noted the lack in quality too and he thought it could be because less time is spent conditoning the beer before it is pushed out of the brewery.

It was beautiful in the Dorset on Friday and the Nelson yesterday.
