Sergeant Wilson Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I could live with those prices. It's not like anybody will be having an all day session in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 See these ‘live events’ to be hosted before it can get a safety certificate, is this normal? I’ve never noticed this with new football grounds but that’s not to say it doesn’t happen. You'll pay £5 a pint in most Edinburgh city centre pubs so you’d expect that at football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it possibly happens with very big venues to make sure the physical and organisational infrastructure can cope... there were charity matches and an U21 game before the new Wembley "opened". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one’s finances are in a state where you begrudge those prices for beer then watching premiership football in London at £50-£100 a ticket might not be the ideal hobby Edited March 25, 2019 by topcat(The most tip top) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 You can apparently add a pound onto those for the craft beers. Beaverton neck oil and gamma ray. Beer prices seem pretty reasonable to be honest, if you think what you pay in a city centre pub or at a music venue pretty much anywhere in Britain. ETA: £3.50 for a pie though! 🤭 I bet they’re not a patch on the pies down at Haddington Athletic either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Neck Oil is very decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 You'll pay near enough £3 for a small can of Gamma Ray so £5 is good value. I'd end up fucking smashed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Yeah good prices and a couple of good beers rather than the usual choice of Fosters, Heineken or John Smith’s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Levy really is really getting an easy ride with this. Imagine if the responsibility to come up with the stadium was given to one of his underlings what his reaction would be... 'So Daniel, the stadium's had to have it's opening date put back about three times, we've inconvenienced numerous thousand fans, our own fans are fed up with all the delays, we're now about 6 months late, the safety excuses are wearing thin and we're hundreds of millions of pounds over the original £400m price. In fact it'll virtually cost three times as much.' 'No problem. These things happen. It's going to be great when it's finally finished. Have a bonus.' Still, as the world's greatest negotiator. I suppose Levy will be delighted at how much he's managed to push the purchase price up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember laughing at a WW committee meeting when they were apprehensive about putting pies up to £1.50 . Those prices are pretty middle of the road and decent for London. You’ll pay £4 + for a pie at Chelsea but a bit less at the likes of Burnley / Huddersfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Clyde Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Those pints are a lot cheaper than I thought they'd be. At football grounds it's quite often about £3.50 for a 500ml bottle of beer, plus London is even worse. £4.50 is only about a quid more than normal pub prices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid £5/pint for a choice of or John Smith’s at the Emirates and that’s supposedly the most expensive beer in the Premiership Given that I was in Islington at the time that didn’t seem too outrageous 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
