Struggle to understand why fans buy beer in the ground. Overpriced, poor quality and dreadful service. So many acceptable pubs within walking distance of LR where you can imbibe before and after. |  |

The Greenwood in Northolt yesterday. It’s a ‘spoons, and pretty decent.
One Guinness and a pint of bitter (can’t remember which one but it was lovely) was less than a fiver. The ale was £1.79 a pint. We were trying to work out how old we were when a pint was under £2. [Post edited 19 Aug 17:59]

I still can't believe the number of people who cram into the upper loft walkway at half time, downing the abomination that is Carlsberg, warm and in a plastic bottle, with less than 3 minutes to drink it after queueing for the worst and slowest catering in the history of humanity. |  |

To be fair, with the queues in there, that works out about 50p an hour. |  | | |

Me too - or why not just, whisper it, go teetotal for the day?
On 2nd thoughts, that could make imbibing the footballing product often intolerable. |  |

You can get a decent pint of Estrelal in the Forever Rs bar in the lower loft, service is dreadful and hugely overpriced but quite nice to have a beer at half time
When they put the prices up last year we decided to stop having half time beers but the team was so shit most weeks we just paid it |  | | |

Went to Twickenham in June and they were charging £8 a pint, which, is kind of expected.
What they cunningly do, if give you the flimsiest of flimsy, cardboard pint holder that wields 4 beers in a row (not the 2x2 egg box holder you used to get and that were far more durable.
The amount of people I saw lose the lot, if one spills they all go. Might as well chuck £32 on the floor and be done with it.
Even worse, someone a couple of rows back was trying to squeeze past a bunch of fans already sitting down and dropped his 4 pint loot and managed to simultaneously soak the poor sods he was passing in the seats. And as a grand finale to this car crash, the flow of his spilt beers ran down the concrete stand like a waterfall and soaked a bag of about 4 match programmes owned by the unsuspecting guy in front of where I was sitting, Programmes were retailing at around £12 each.
What a moment. |  | | |

When I saw the thread title I was thinking about the first pint I ever bought. It was in the Blue Anchor, 1976 (I was 15, those were days!) and it cost 25 pence.
In 1976 the average wage was £76 quid a week. If you multiply it by the increase in a pint of beer since then (basing it on the price in the B&W), you'd be looking at an average weekly wage of £2,280. Whereas in fact the average weekly wage today in the UK is, quoting from the ONS, "£724 for total earnings and £679 for regular earnings."
In other words, ladies and gents, we have been robbed blind by successive governments and taxation for the last 50 years. Moaning old git I may be, but fck me, it's a chilling statistic. |  |

And standing on the Loft in the early 80s was £1.15 for us schoolkids, if memory serves. About £4 in modern money.

Maybe I'm too much of a simp, but given all the pubs by my office are bordering on 8 quid a pint, I don't actually think 7.50 in a stadium is all that bad? |  | | |

No idea what sort of margins the catering side of things make but I can only imagine they are just chasing their tail and probably trying to make the same margins each match day so when people wise up and stop buying their sh!t , they just add the costs onto the ones that do .
I get we have a limited capacity and bar area etc but missing 10 / 15 minutes of a 90 minute game the queue up and be shuffled along between the stairs and the bogs to spend what £7 or £8 on a bottle of p!ssberg is insanity !
There is defiantly a trick being missed somewhere ? For example and I know we probably can’t sell cans for safety reasons but you go to a festival these days , people pay £5 for a can of lager or cider . Vendors are likely paying about 50p . Quick easy sale , no fking about . Probably issues with licences and whatever but there must be a work around . |  | | |
