The middle bar was £4.50 for lager last week (and this) but bitter had gone up from £4 to £4.50

I understand all bars being priced the same but should be no more than £4. The again...Heineken in the SS Bar was £4.60


It has the potential to be a huge success but I'd like to see something slightly more permanent than "bars on wheels" somehow that could open for away game showings and parties after big games (good friday, cup semi finals, finals)

Agree. It's not as if the South Stand bar pre-match isn't open anymore, it still is...... (I walked past last week and there was still a few hundred in there). If Wigan aren't careful they will price out the fans and that would be a shame. I agree, price match the DW and then there's no excuse, the only reason I can think is that the bars are sourced externally (obviously SOL has the gin bar).

Food was on offer last week (Via the beer bar) with Hot Dogs at £4.

I'm sure the club could knock out a few crates of warm meyt and prater pies, therefore ALL revenue goes to the club?

I noticed that the beer bar was a different company the 2nd week to the one who ran it against Wire. Agree slightly more expensive. The club obviously has an alcohol licence with the Kingfisher Bar upstairs so no reason why they can't staff a large permanent beer bar for themselves. Maybe they will do this long term.

Come on, the price of food and drink at all sports stadia including the DW Stadium and the Fan Zone/Horsebox is a rip off, especially when those serving it are only getting the minimum wage.

Paying £3.70 upwards for a beer/lager/Stout when the same beer/Lager/Stout can be bought elsewhere at a far cheaper price is not being tightfisted.

More like having a bit of common sense!

Not sure about your minimum wage comment as we have no proof, however your right about sports stadia in general ripping people off. Greed springs to mind and I think Wigan have gone down the same route. I’m all for putting money into the club but I won’t be lured into being fleeced by them.

At the moment there is disparity between prices inside the DW (lounges and concourse bars) against the arena fan zone beer bar even if its only 50p-£1 per drink.

As I said the club needs to price match the stadium prices to take away that disparity. It might seem churlish to think that a supporter will walk away from the fanzone for a mere 50p-£1 but if someone's getting a round of drinks in then it's significant.

Not sure what the price of lager/bitter/Guinness is in the Red Robin but I doubt that it's a £4.50-5.00 a pint.

They've obviously listened regarding the beer prices, Good to see. https://www.wiganwarriors.com/news/2020 ... ne-hull-fc

Great to see that, just purely from the perspective that you don’t want to see people not going for the sake is having to pay more for a pint than they would across the road. It’s good to see them listening to people and being open to change and it’s good to hear the first team squad will head in after the game Sunday.

Not sure if having Andy Gregory at the bar is a masterstroke or not

Needs someone different every week. Once you've heard Gregs stories you've heard them

£3.90 a pint I can live with, well done to the club for listening to the fans.... for once!
