I remember my train journey back to the North West after the abandoned cup game v Liverpool. The rest of the carriage was full of Scousers, most of whom had grabbed booze from the Asda and elsewhere after the game. Literally grabbed, that is. Must have been carnage for any in-store security guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My arithmetic skills are a tad limited............... Thats an even better deal. It's not a "deal" though is it? I usually buy 2 pints of Butcombe (list price £4) for myself & my mate. He does the same. Total £8. Before ST discount. The club are doing a "2 pints for £8" offer!. !!! both examples £6.80 after discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED4LIFE Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Tbh, £4 a pint isnt actually too bad for a 'captured' audience. There are plenty of boozers around Bristol that will charge you more than that. Although two for £8 isn't exactly a 'deal' at those prices. Considering Dry is my drink of choice and not every pub sell it, I'm more than happy to pay £4 a pint at the ground. Fwiw, my local sell pretty much all ciders (all Thatchers, Natch etc) for £3.10 and I struggle to find anywhere that is cheaper than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, two-pinters of Heineken and Guiness will be sold for £9. Or a proper pub in North Street such as the H&C will, in a far more convivial atmosphere, sell you a wide choice of 4+ real ales or proper lagers or real ciders for less than £8 for 2 pints. Or the Masonic or the Hare or the Try Again or the Spotted Cow etc similar. Sorry but don't get paying over the odds for mediocre beers in a football stadium bar or concourse.

Both prices still beat the current £1.15 a litre. I grew up in the days where 4 Star leaded petrol was being phased out, those pumps were red if IIRC.

I recall watching Nationwide one night when Frank Bough led with a story about a garage charging GBP1 for a gallon of 4-star. Then again, old Frank liked to slip into something more comfortable and snort Charlie off the bare arses of hookers, so should we have trusted him?

Cheaper than £8 for 2 pints, quality and range of the ales a tad better than one choice of Butcombe, its a nicer environment, the pushchair tag is not the case on a matchday, and even if so, its a big pub and whats the problem with a family friendly pub with quality real ales, ciders and lagers? Plus there are loads of pubs and bars within walking distance of Ashton Gate which offer a more enjoyable and cheaper pre or post match pint experience, IMO.

I’m certain it’s pushing £4 a pint for cider & lager in there, not that price bothers me to be honest, I’d rather go somewhere I enjoy and pay more. Who said there was a problem with families frequenting the pub? You pay your money & make your own choices. I’ll stick to the Coopers on a match day, a nice pint and good value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
