I wonder what the loss to date in takings has been for this bar. Be interesting
If only those that have always packed it to the rafters, spent what the club considered to be an acceptable sum of money for the privilege, we wouldn't be in this situation now.

The club continue to drop a bollock on this one.

Sorry but you're missing the point here. The club will let YOU! - The Great Unwashed! - in without a LANYARD. You may even adopt, if you so choose, the garb of a traditional football supporter of yesteryear. Twelve pounds? PRICELESS more like!
Oh i see , sorry i feel like a right moaning git now , sorry P.B great idea

on serious note, suggest the take up for the season membership fee didnt have a great uptake as expected. what a waste, shame they cant admit their mistake and revert to what it was. closing it would be a better economic decision?

They really dropped the ball on this one, and we could have told them that months ago.
Although I'm a bit surprised they haven't gone back on it yet. 3 people turning up a game isn't what I'd call ''breaking even'.

I suspect closing it will be the next option.
I suspect it was wanted for corporate 1901 bods. Imposing this charge will now allow them to do this! Snakey mcSnake face!

The funny thing is that these things are what we used to get in 1901 and don't any more. Don't remember the last time we had an ex player in our lounge for more than reading the teamsheets that are on the TVs anyway. And quizzes and spot prizes even further back. Couldn't care less although the quiz was fun.
Bonkers. Apart from the cost, who wants to spend a match day watching Premier league, arsing about on a football table or doing a quiz?
Now, I am glad we have the Amex and we needed it and the revenue/prestige it brings but the above nonsense is why I genuinely preferred match days at Withdean. Stroll there, get a ropey but consistent chicken pie and a cuppa, mooch around a bit and chat, match then off to The Albert or Battle for a proper post match pub experience with true fans. All the rest of itis ruining the matchday experience imho.
They could be using the old marketing trick known as Medium Popcorn. The most famous example being cinema popcorn. People will buy the small, they will buy the large as it's only a bit more than the Medium. Very few people ever buy the medium and they're not supposed to. Medium only exists to make large more attractive.

Just make it Dick's Bar 2.
Allow kids in, but none if the 'only with kids' shennanigans which kept the bar takings down to slowly sipped lemonades.

So effectively £8.50 bearing in mind the cost of the programme (assuming you normally buy one) but not for us. Went there three or four times last year but now priced out. Will happily use the WSU concourse (until they start charging for that!!!!).
