Email the club and tell them they missed out on the £20 you wanted to spend. They’ll soon fix it when they realise they are losing revenue.

TBH this whole thread smacks of trying to find something to moan about in lieu of the football being pants.
Said same to my Dad regarding moaning about ticket prices. We turned up, my Dad needs a walking stick so got in a lift that took us up into the outside concourse on the South stand and was immediately offereda free sample of Cider qhich my Dad drinks by the bucket. We sat in the sunshine on the grassy seated bit and I said to him what the fuck do people want? Sure some would rather pay £5 a ticket, stand under a piece of corrogated tin and piss in a bucket.
We then got another lift up to the 5th fl.
This stuff is expensive. If you want the best you have to pay for it.
Anyone moaning about the stadium is a dick imo.

Do people really need a half time beer? It's 15 minutes for fuck sake. Have some beers before and after the game. Then watch the football.
Agree - each to their own but I don't want a pint that bad. It's not worth the hassle. I can wait another hour thanks! I do love Beavertown though

I agree with the sentiment but where I am it’s not too bad (block 322). Got in at 1.30 and had time for beer and piss without missing the start.

Going for a half time beer is pointless though unless you sit near the exit and a prepaid beer can be waiting for you. This ain’t the theatre or a “west end wine bar mate”, as I was told years ago at the Antwerp (when asking if they took cards not if they served martinis).

I’ve been going to WHL for 45 years. The last time I bought something to consume in the ground was when the guy used to come round selling bags of peanuts. Maybe I’m just too tight to pay those over inflated prices.

Sadly I think a significant chunk of people that show up don’t give a shit about what happens on the pitch, they’re just there for a larf and to get pissed up with their mates and have bAnTZ.

Was the same at the Lane to be honest. First five minutes of each half up and down line a pogo stick as I’m letting people who missed kick off walk past me to get to their seat, add repeating the act at the end of each half as the escape they seat too. Never understood it. Far less expensive ways to not watch football. Do these people not wank?

This is easily the greatest thing Daniel Levy has ever done for me. Half time used to consist of spending 15 minutes getting barged about, knee deep in urine, attempting to fight my way to a pig’s trough of slurry. Now, it’s a 3 minute queue and back to my seat.
I look at your name and I can't help thinking this is the perfect subject for you.

At our age if the choice is a piss or a pint at half time it’s a piss every time.

It looks like Heineken, I mean Beavertown, are opening a match day beverage experience, I mean pub, where the Corner Pin was.

Honestly, where did all this tap room, micro brewery shite come from? Just go to the pub and have pint FFS.
The worst is all these fruit infused monstrosity. If you want a beer, have a fucking beer. If you want something fruity, have a spirit and a mixer. Beer shouldn’t taste like mango.

You attract more customers by having a greater variety of beverages on offer. Some people like 4% pisswater lagers and bitters, some would rather spend a bit more on a nice 6% IPA. The problem is?

I'm being flippant to make a point here but it's high time football grounds introduced those little chains across the seat that you get on amusememt park rides that lock in as long as the attraction (the game) is in play and release at the half time and full time whistles.

And if you're late, sorry you wait on the concourses until half time and then you can get to your seat. You're there to watch a game of football, that's what you've paid for.

OT but just call it a pub. Tap Room sounds like a department in B&Q. Wine drinkers trying to make beer poncy.
