Got a text of a friend the other day to say that the bar prices have gone up YET AGAIN!!!! So that means we as a club will lose out to soccer sensation again as fans (and me) will be going in there for cheaper beer. I remember being in the lower league and the bar been full were you couldn't hardly move (without over inflated beer prices) but sadly unless our club sorts it out it will remain empty. Now if we have let another company run the bar then fair enough and tough luck to them, but if we do run the bar then WILL WE EVER LEARN???

we have a catering contract with a firm who does prett much most the events that happen in yorkshire. So whether Rovers have control of the prices I'm not sure.

Rovers get a fixed price from the caterers so doesn't really matter if everyone goes to soccer sensations

I'm sure it does we still take a percentage of every beer sold, Been mentioned by Mike Smith that fans going in soccer sensations pre match doesn't help the club at all.

Doubt we get a percentage of every beer sold, more likely their (the catering company) annual takings would be a bargaining chip for a better deal the following year.

If that was so why are they putting all the entertainment on to encourage people to attend earlier so they can generate more income from bar takings and catering ????

We do not get a fixed price we get about 20% of all taking from catering. So get buying your drink from the club as we get money (I know this won't happen and soccer sens will do even more of a trade on matchdays)

Correct, this is old ground that we've gone over before.

Old deal with the previous company was a fixed fee, it changed when CGC came to the table and we get a percentage of every pint sold now etc

The guy at soccer sensations told me they take between 5 and 7 grand a home game and if your right in what your saying it's down to rovers then to stop ripping fans off with high beer prices

The beer tastes like wet dog anyway, my hard earned will stay in my pocket thank you.

To be honest I don't buy food or drink both are crap and overpriced

That we can agree on, tends to be the same at all the event venues. Guess they think it's a captive audience yet Rovers lose out to soccer sensations by 75 grand at least looking at those figures.

I've heard free alcoholic drinks are to be given away, but only to the school kids in the South Stand.

There are not free drinks, we have a sponsorship deal with Fosters & Bacardi.

Not the cost or the quality of the beer that's been putting me off, it's the bloody queue's under the East stand. Several times I've been in there 15 mins or so without moving an inch towards the bar & just given up. Don't bother now.
