| I went out through the re-entry gate and crossed to Asda, bought some stuff and went back in without them checking my bag. Perhaps that is the way to do things.

| Was told that the "ban" on food and drink was brought in by the stadium as they lost so much revenue last year when the weather was glorious and that one 500ml bottle max is the official rule.
Personally I think.....pillocks!

| Yeah one game you can take those prices, two days full of games and no thanks
Think the best letter will be to your club and the RFL pointing out that unless the rules change folk will start to stay at home

A Manchester City employee was on skysports news on friday saying that last year's Magic Weekend generated more cash from refreshment sales than any other event previously held at the stadium (pop concerts and football matches). So which is true? Personally I think they're just looking to cash in on fans who are there for 6-8 hours on a sunny day, not to break even.

Only this. Got told by some smug looking jobsworth p***k at the turnstile that it was "Rugby League Rules" Absolute garbage. Just trying to find a way to rip us off by forcing us to by food and drink inside the stadium.
No food, only a bottle of water allowed. We ended up walking out and coming back and got it all in anyway.
Gets my back up cos if you bring your kids with you who are going to be hungry you get treated like this but its great to get beered up all day and maybe cause trouble as long as the tills are ringing for them.

| Went to Etihad yesterday and took in sandwiches and drinks in plastic bottles and my bag was searched on entry. At over £4 for a lager and £2.50 for a bottle of coke would have been an expensive day.

| A City supporting mate of mine showed me a picture taken from his iphone from the final match of the season - pint £3.60.
You could clearly see that it had been hiked up to £4.30 (along with all other food & drink). He was informed that it wasn't City policy and that the prices had been set by the RFL.
£2.50 for a bottle of coke? Robbing gits!!!!!

Why does it have to be one or the other. Sales were up in 2012 but they saw how much picnicing etc families were doing and so decided they want a bigger slice.
As for the refreshment prices being controlled by the RFL I would have thought they would only have been able to do this if they were actually running the refreshments stands. Otherwise, surely any element of "you will do it this way" would be grounds for a claim of price-fixing?
