My initial thought was they’d stolen our speakers and moved them to the Dolman to appease Robbored but apparently not. Maybe that gives you an idea of just how poor the PA is over the other side!

Remember seeing City at Newcastle and had to dump the drink I’d bought and buy one in the stadium where they promptly removed the lid . Always carry a spare lid now Shocking today guess the ex players because you couldn't here who they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I get the feeling you’ve got to be sat directly underneath a speaker to hear it. Not good for such an otherwise great stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 10 hours ago, RedLionLad said: Buy your soft drink from B&M before the game and save up to £2 on each bottle. You can pay by cash too. Or The Food Warehouse (Iceland) next door, very cheap for drinks in there too. I usually bring my own drink to the match, usually water this time of year, but if I forget I can get four bottles of water in those shops for much less than the price of one in the concourse. By the way although we can’t take cans in, or bottles with tops, I’ve always been allowed to take the insulated metal bottles in without issue. These keep drinks nice and cool or hot in colder months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Walked straight in yesterday with my rucksack on, no checks at all. Could’ve had any number of bottles in there with the kids still on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 You cannot compare shop prices with a bar. That's ridiculous. The bar is open once or twice every week, and the cost incorporates all the staff costs, from the servers to the cleaners, as well as overheads, and finally a profit. After season ticket discount, which about 60% of the crowd has, a pint is still under £5. That's still bloody good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite Red Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 £5.30 a pint and shit £4 pies. Well done City. It's going downhill fast after several years of good food and drink with competitive pricing. I'm sure most supporters will shop elsewhere.

Slack Bladder Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 £5.30 for a pint Get 4 cans of Thatchers and sit on the park wall for less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLionLad Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 It”s the old ‘bus ticket’ situation. Less people pay the price so the price goes up. The price of a pint goes up to £5.30 because not enough were paying £4.80. Next season it’ll go up to £5.50 or more. I wonder how many sales have been lost by the stadium by not accepting cash anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fed up of that shit. WTF am i supposed to do with an opened bottle that i’d actually like a lid for so i can take it up to my seat?! ( next game it will be a spare lid from home!). Where do you sit? I buy a coke or water every game, and don’t remember having a lid removed since sitting in the Atyeo, probably 15+ years ago. And I think that was only after some d**khead threw a bottle at the ref once. Had a ST in the Dolman and SS since then and never had the lid removed.

Tangle Foot Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Whilst we’re on the subject of beer, can anyone tell me what has happened to BS3 (The Rising Sun, on Ashton Rd)? I was disappointed to see it was closed and all boarded up on Saturday. If I’m not mistaken, I’m sure it was open during the Euros. COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Stopped having a pint a few seasons ago as the Thatchers was horrendous. But was interested to see how busy the bars were on Saturday. Very busy in the south stand. Whilst all Covid regulations have been dropped I didn’t fancy standing in a que for a shit pint.

Meh Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 I found the price fine now we are cashless. Literally bought 3 pints, handed over S/T then held my phone loosely by the contactless pad - one beep and walked away. Literally cost nothing provided I don’t look at my online bank balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a row with a steward a few seasons ago about the lid thing , sad git spotted my lid from 100 yards away Im sure . Made me remove it and give it to him under the premise that I may throw the bottle at the pitch at some point .I stood my ground for ages ,would not hand over something I had paid for as was rightfully mine .Of course I was threatened with eviction and a ban .Had to give it up grrrr.
