Those there tonight

They now do this deal,

You can either get a pie and a pint for £7.50 or you could get a deal that includes 2 pints and 2 pies at the price of £16, work that one out.

Obiesity tax ?

From what I understand, correct me if I am wrong, but the biggest outlay is player wages. If they all got paid less we could break even. People talk about players on £10k a week, even if they take a 75% pay cut they will be on more than £100k a year! This is where the savings should be coming from not by putting an extra 30p on beer or an extra 10% on ticket prices and keeping wages the same.

I assume you want to be in League 2?

And who do you think we could realistically get on these lower wages that could still propell us to promotion?

With plenty of other clubs willing to offer fairly large wages to the better players we may need, the market dictates their worth and we certainly wouldn't be able to get them to sign for us instead if we weren't prepared to offer a similar wage to the other Championship clubs.

Great idea. We'll meet FFP requirements at a stroke, AND have cheap beer and pies. Even better, with the Sky money, when we get to the Prem, we'll make hundreds of millions profit as we'll only be paying the team 10% of what the rest of the division does. Genuis. Surprised TB hasn't thought of it himself. I am also going to tell my boss that everyone should take a 75% pay cut. It's so obvious.

Oh, something else of note: Sami has gone back to using Gus' dugout...

Is that the one with the low ceiling?

WTF. Genius....

Any sign of the 2 pint glasses that someone mentioned on here? Or was that just a throwback to the Rod Stewart gig? Was getting excited about that one.

Thank god. At last someone cuts to the real bottom line..... Are the 2pint glasses real or another broken dream, flooded with tears and soaked up with a tissue of lies?

No sign of them in WSL.

(Although anyone who ordered one is probably still waiting for the bar staff to finish pouring it.... )

That must be, what, ten to fifteen thousand of us mugs every home game eh! What are the odds?

I go to football to enjoy myself. I work all sorts of shifts and it's my weekend release, as it is with most regulars. I meet friends at the game. I have a drink or two in town beforehand, it's a social event as much as anything else, and just occasionally the Albion win and make my weekend.

I may end up paying 20p extra on a pint of Strongbow each game this season, but, you know what? I'll live with that. I'll regard that additional £4.60 over the course of this next League season as money well spent as part of a Saturday afternoon spent enjoying the company of friends and some football into the bargain. I might even go crazy and order an extra pint each match, taking my additional investment up to £9.20, because that's how CRAZY I am. Don't spend it all at once, Sami!

£2.50 for a coffee, you guys are way too crazy for me! x

Why not a simple Happy Hour between 7pm and 8pm for 3pm kick-off matches? BOGOF on pints and pies. Better than people just bogging off by 6pm as currently happens.

More seriously, this is what the Sharks do at T20 games......no idea if it's a success or not
