I'm sure you can get it even cheaper from the supermarkets, but I don't think that was the point he was making.

I wouldn't sell to Wetherspoons my costings wouldn't allow it, I would of been working for next to nothing think it was £45 a cask they was after to give you an idea I sold at £65 and that was average, ruddles will be brewed on a massive scale

That wasn't my point. Do you not think the club is a slightly different issue than everyday boozing? Do you think at 55 I'd choose to pay fifty quied for a polyester top? No I do so for the sake of the club. I pay over the odds for a number of things to do with the club that to me is what supporting is all about. Yes a fiver is expensive but if it makes the club money and gives us the team we all crave is it not worth the cost or am I missing something.
The choice is yours at the end of the day as I clearly stated but I think if you can afford to attend a match you've probably got enough money to pay a fiver for one or two pints 11 times a year so please don't use that social concience guff on me thanks. If you wish to drink elsewhere for a million and one reasons I don't give a toss but to narrow it down to a few quid for a pint, nah that strikes me as negative thinking. If you're drinking more that a few pints fair enough spread the cost though personally as Bren says I don't think I could handle more than a pint or two at a game.
As for your Wetherspoons analogy it's a bad one, a hugely expoitative company that sells cheap crap beer to anyone any time of the day in any state both physical and metal whilst aggressively destroying any opposition nearby - very social concience and very socialist I'm sure.
That last bit was just a bit of fun by the way.

The point that I was making, wayne, was that if you can't or won't pay a greatly inflated price for a pint it is not being disloyal, but merely a case of economics. Daddycool was was right when he said that, "You can either take it or leave it". Simple as!!!

| I guess the £5 is going to stick, even though it’s only in the corporate areas on premium lager ie San Miguel ????

What do you suggest is discussed then Mabel. Obviously things are pretty much alright. Great squad, everyone full of confidence, no injuries and everybody set to go on Feb 3rd!! Things have never been better for a long, long time.
