| Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "I agree that ripping fans off by blatant overcharging is not good. But please use sensible arguments. Comparing the price of Carling with ASDA supermarket prices is frankly silly. It is in any case usually no cheaper than 60p for 440ml which is 0.774 of a pint so that is nearer 75p a pint anyway. But the argument is bogus, because in a pub club or other bar you are paying for the facility. The premises, heating, lighting, equipment, furniture and staff do not come free and you're paying your share for the use of.
If you want to complain about high prices for poor drinks at sports events then that would be pretty much most places, major finals is where I recall being ripped off more than anywhere else - Wembley, OT, etc) - but it works because there are lengthy queues at every sales point and people don't ultimately care, they can't drink enough of it for some reason.
I agree each venue needs to work out what makes a profit for them without alienating too many fans. that's the issue. But comparing supermarket prices for canned pis.s is not.'"
What has the price of a pint got to do with anything?
I was comparing the price of a can bought in asda to a can bought at odsal. 50p for 440 ml in asda compared
To £3.50 for 440 ml at odsal.
A can bought from an outside kiosk so need for heating, lighting, funature or what ever rubbish you were going on about.
Id say my comparison is more than fair.
Like i said ive no problem with the club making a profit but come on lets be realistic.

| Back to the actual rugby, the highlights are up on youtube.
I've no idea how our second try was given, but it made me chuckle nonetheless.

Compared to Carlsberg it is. Sooner have something else mind but if it's a choice between the two then Carling is much better.

We all had a good laugh at that! Was expecting a scrum after the fullback knocked on. When Macani did that I couldn't believe it Then I remembered it was Macani and anything can happen when he's on the pitch. On another note I didn't really notice Magrin much during the game. Didn't seem to make much of an impact.

You ask that?
Really?
The price of a pint is surely THE leading question in the Universe. I assumed everybody understood that.

First, and I know you are exaggerating to try to make your point seem better, but for instance at this precise moment, Carling at ASDA is 70p a can, and that's if you buy 20. So you are FORTY PERCENT out.
[ They have just put on a special offer whereby if you buy 3 packs of 12 i.e. 36 cans, you pay £21 but that's still over 58p a can. And everyone understands discount for bulk, but I bet you've never ordered "36 cans, please" at the Odsal bars. ]
Quote: RagingBull "A can bought from an outside kiosk so need for heating, lighting, funature or what ever rubbish you were going on about. '"
You're right. On reflection, I now understand that if nobody visits the bars, the expenses of running the club on matchday disappear, as if by magic.

No exageration of any figures im afraid, they are simply based on the deal i got over Christmas. 3 crates of 12 for £18 pounds. Im sure even you can work out thats 50p a can. As you so rightly say. Its cheaper to buy in bulk which im sure is what any business would do? Do you think the bulls go in and by 20 cans at a time and pay 70p a can or buy in bulk at 50p or 58p if thats what it is now.
Humour me for a second. 30 cans of coke for £10 in asda at the min. 30p a can. If they used the same mark up as on the lager that would mean sellng Coke for £2.10 a can.
I think every would say thats a rip off.
Or based on your arguement you would deem that acceptable?

| Anyway gentlemen back to my point.
I love Guinness and when I pay £4.50 for a can it never seems to quite taste the same

| Did I see somewhere that Sheffield could not even raise 17 players for this game? If true that must be quite a worry for them.

Yeah. They only had 3 subs and all 3 of those were triallists.

| Watched the highlights. Hard to judge player performances but from what i saw my thoughts below.
Two assists from Reiss Butterworth, should be our interchange hooker IMO His dummy and inside ball for Crossley made that try. Super talent.
Minchella showed some nice touches and passing. With Chiholm & Keyes fit, Minchella as a ball playing 13 could give us plenty in attack.
Kirk looks to have filled out a bit. Looked in the mould of Kopczak from what i saw.
Looking forward to watching first game of the year against Toronto.

Butterworth was very impressive very quick out of dummy half he knew when to run it in and when to pass looked superb... Kirk was good when he could keep hold of the ball and funnily enough Davies didn’t drop a single ball!

I thought Davies played well. Not only did he keep hold of the ball but he ran it in well and ran it in hard. Seems to be a different Davies from last season! If he carries on like that he could be a bargain on part-time.

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.: |

Yep. There'll be a couple of posters on here with more info, but 3 months ago when they were letting go/offering around their players from last season, I was told they had effectively pencilled in a 2018 playing budget which was comparable to that of Coventry Bears. I would hope they have secured some extra funding/sponsorship since then, otherwise it'll be a long, tough season for them.

| And yet that clown Garry Schofield thinks they'll finish above London (along with 8 other teams).
