another withdean whinge

[Dave the OAP]

BHA Mark, the skipper and star player of NSC ALBIONFC and REMF FC related a story last night whereby he went to buy a coca cola from the seller and was asked for £1.50. He said to the vendor that it was £1 last year, but the vendor said that the club had imposed pricing on them as part of the agreement to sell at Withdean.

If this is right, is this the most expensive bottle of coke you have ever had at a football ground?

 

[tinx]

I paid £1.50 for a bottle of mineral water. Shocking

 

[JJ McClure]

Bloody new caterers, couldn't get my usual pre-match sausage roll yesterday, whats all that about!

 

[ditchy]

paid £1.60 at reading for water .. takin the piss

 

[Trigger]

They also charge 50p extra for a piddly bit of sliced cheese in your burger... It's f***ing outrageous!

 

[Superphil]

The only way to stop it is to arrange a mass boycott, and tell the club that the prices are unacceptable. Then they'll have to reduce the costs or lose the business.

Trouble is there are loads of fans who just pay whatever and don't worry about the cost.

So, Boycott anyone? Can it be organised?

 

[JJ McClure]

A boycott is a bit strong Superphil, I was just gonna ask nicely if they could do sausage rolls

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Even though the prices are far too high I did think the food was better than the muck served up by Kings Cuisine !!

 

[Braders]

its worse at the premiershit

£2 at fulham for a coke

 

[Soton Seagull]

I was always charged £1.50 for a coke last season. They must have seen me coming

No Chips

Youcouldnt even get Chips form my outlet inthe North Stand, and surprised to hear about Sausage Rolls.

I knoew they have had them on the boards at the Norht en dofr most of our Withdean duration, On the occasions I have asked for one they say they dont do them.

Seems as though those who sit in the Soutn Stand have a better choice!

 

[Lammy]

£1.20 for a cup of feckin tea!!!!!!!

 

[sully]

Didn't see any donuts either. My kids won't go if there's no donuts at half time!

 

[Superphil]

do you think I could suggest a slad bar, I'm getting a bit rolly round the middle on all the suasage rolls and pies!

 

[Trotster]

i can confirm that there were NO donuts on sale last night - grrr

 

[JJ McClure]

I'm getting a bit rolly round the middle on all the suasage rolls

..but there weren't any sausage rolls

 

[Bwian]

I had a pasty and a bottle of water last night an it was £3.80 which is f***ing outrageous. My own fault though because I was late getting into Brighton from Guildford, the Sportsman had stopped serving food and I couldn't get a beer,

I'll be better prepared for Saturday-sadly, the club implementing rip-off pricing won't be getting my business anymore. Their loss I'm afraid.

And the bastard pasty gave me severe farts

 

[Bobby's Gull]

At least there didn't seem to be that many queue's at half time, I was only standing there for 2 minutes compared to normally standing there until about 5 minutes into the second half! Still a rip off though.

 

[Curious Orange]

My pre-match meal actually got cheaper, admittedly because I couldn't get a double-cheeseburger!!

Anyway, I must say that the food is at least better quality than some of the crap served up at other grounds, as anyone who has eaten at Loftus Road or the Madejski Stadium will surely tell you.

 

[Titanic]

Coke and water were definitely £1.50 last season too.

And I don't think it's outrageous - a bit steep perhaps, but pretty much in line with what I would expect to pay at a major sporting venue.
