It's easy, put beer in a plastic container and tell them it's a dietary supplement drink due to your disability/illness, can't take it off you then due to disability discrimination laws..

Intresting to find out from the AP interview on RH that the club get commission on the beers sales. I always thought the club got nothing so I stopped buying beer in the stadium a couple of years ago.

He also said he wouldn't buy 2 pints at those prices!

Who would buy 2 pints at those prices, it's ridiculous!

The only thing both Clubs get is I think around 30% on beer sales, everything else goes to the SMC, I guess the best thing anyone can do to support our Club is buy the beer and boycott the food. There could be some interesting chants tomorrow!

The only people that the will benefit from the price increase are the pubs. People will just drink more in the pub before going to the game.

No bad thing. Better and cheaper beer and you're supporting local small businesses.

Exactly my point.

The SMC needs to be taken over by an independent body to stop this bias to one of the clubs but unfortunately that is not going to happen.

Price at the Emirates is £4.30, Old Trafford £3.90, Chelsea £4.20, Etihad £3.40, fans are being screwed..

And always have been everywhere. However nobody is forcing anybody to drink fizzy dogs urine in a plastic cup. The people to blame for this situation at stadiums are the mugs who keep paying these ridiculous prices. Daft as it may seem I go to a sports stadium to watch the game on the pitch. I may be wrong and the real reason to go is to pay over the odds for mediocre food and drink, stand up and squeeze past people while the game on so that refills and toilet visits can be accommodated and hopefully drink enough so that everything is forgotten anyway.

Couldn't agree more, but during the summer people need a drink and what with stadia management forcing people from having their own drinks, alcohol or otherwise, some are left with no choice but to buy what's on offer within the stadium itself.

I can manage for an hour and a half without a drink - even in our 30 degree plus summers.

While I realise some grounds are strict with not taking food and drink in, I've never had any issues at the KC. Baffles me that people pay 3 or 4 times the price for a bottle of Coke, a product that's on sale in every supermarket 24/7

5 of us go to the "dugout" before a game because i have trouble walking if beer prices go to £4-20 we will go to our local save £2 a pint and get a taxi to the game and save £10 a round i know prices havent gone up yet but if they do lots wont drink at the kc
