We've had the same a few times last year, not so much because the ale is abysmal and the food very average, but becuase we got bored of having to find a member of staff. There's no point being in a box if you have to go to the bar yourself and miss chunks of the game whilst half a dozen kids who should be doing it stand around texting their mates.

The club are making great strides behind the scenes, but last season were seriously let down by LSV's matchday staff. Compare it to the Park Inn where it's a fiver for steak and chips, and I get change out of £3 for a good pint too.

That is too simple to be true. About time it was taken on board.

RE Carling lager I wouldn't buy it at 30p a pint or have John Smith's bitter given to me if it was free.I have nothing against either company apart from their beer is truly dreadfull.

The more people buy the stuff the less chance of it ever coming down in price, and I have said the same thing to the Catering manager of EMC.

Yes, I did buy myself and my mate one. But not again .... Money staying firmly in pocket in future

In future I'll have one or two extra in the Easts than give the Stadium my hard earned dole money ....

I had three pints and a whisky pre-match in the miners and very nice it was too, I have in my possession a £15 note featuring the face of our former Mayor Mr Brian Jarvis, so if I am desperate enough to require a pint whilst inside the ground at any time I shall proffer this note in payment saying, "well your'e charging bloody joke prices so I thought I would pay with joke money

surely the way to affect change is boycott the bars completely?

That is the only way.

I'd be surprised if more people are buying the stuff. We have not bought anything in the ground this season. We stopped half way through last season, when apart from being expensive, the drink was putrid.

The stadium is becoming a disappointing experience with:-

expensive, poor quality beer,
expensive food
getting into the ground inefficient
many staff are stood around having a smoke outside
not being able to clearly hear what is being said on the sound system
toilet smoke alarms going off and staff outside not bothered

The stadium management are failing in their jobs all of which will mean people will not turn up.

If you read it as its wrote it doesnt refer to more people buying the stuff, its a play on words a bad one i admit, meaning that if people are still buying then the prices will not be going anywhere but up, yet obviously people are still buying hence the moans, if people are still daft enough to buy then thats up to them.

You don't know you are born - £3.50 for a pint, and £2.20 for a pie (tho they are nice) = £5.70 at City. Beat that LSV!!!!

Whose ale is it ? You can forget about the pie.

they would have to pay me, and at Stretford Fc n'all
