Hallelujah! Was this a Barber plant to get us so grateful that real ale is served that we'll pay £4.30 a pint next season?

I was thinking that, hophead is usually what they serve. Dark Star is the brewery, I've only ever seen hophead though.

The choice of Guinness and Harveys in the ESU? Mouthwatering!

Are you seriously suggesting that somehow the Harveys dropped off to below that of Heineken? If anything I'm sure Harveys has overtaken fosters since the east upper opened. It's all anyone seems to drink up there.

There is a thread linked on this thread, Harveys is the second highest selling drink with fosters only just pipping it by 5000 pints/bottles over a year. 140,000 fosters to 135,000 Harvey's. compare that to only 40,000 Heineken and 70,000 Kronenborg.

I heard Shoreham is a good place to fish.

Yes that's all going a bit far, real ale, and Harveys in particular is unique to the match day experience. Replace it with another decent real ale and it would go a long way to softening the blow. But you have to question the motives of getting rid of Harvey's.

Please.........

I believe you mate, it just fits in with the Albion and they way they are going recently.

Pleeeeese let this be true!! If it is a load of bollocks, BAN DAVE!

It will affect the pre and post match habbits. Expect the transport to get much worse!

If this is true, this will affect the Atmosphere and people arriving later, and dare I say it, leave earlier. Unless it is replaced by a decent equivalent.

So they Axe the joint favourite selling beer, (give or take 5000 over a year). It's just cant be right can it?

Seriously, thousands are drinking it. Even if half or under half are a bit peed off at axing Harveys, then it's still 5 or 6 times more than 500. It's ALOT of fans to irritate. Harvey's has become instilled in the AMEX DNA, you can't just alter it, without pissing a large proportion off. I'm...

True, if it were replaced with something from dark star, then great. Or if it were replaced by another good ale, then I'm not happy but ok, I'll go with it for a bit unlit Harvey's is re instated. But if they try to replace with JS. Fuk it.

Most wont, no.

Not true mate, as I just said, I'm sure it out sells or almost out sells lager, almost everyone around me in the concourse is on it. I'd say your more like pissing off 4-5000 fans, not 500. As you've said, it's not like JS, so why compare it then?

Add to that, when i look around me in the ESL, over half are drinking Harvey's. I'm sure it almost out sells lager.

Totally Bollocks, JS is not a real ale, it's not from sussex and I think if I were forced, I'd drink larger instead. But no-one is forcing me, so I won't bother drinking anymore.

I've gotta be honest here. This would seriously impact on my match day experience. I love drinking Harvey's at the Amex. It's more than just a beer, it's something that symbolises sussex for me. I am literally eating and drinking sussex whilst watching the Albion! Just getting excited pre match...
