Is it not about £4.50 - £5 in the hydro. I'd imagine if we were allowed it would be at that going rate for events?... no discount for warm flat beer either! |

Plenty do Anyway if pints are ever sold in the CP concourse I’d be surprised if you got change from a fiver, £4.50+ seems to be going rate at similar events with a captive audience. Edited by Pat_Mustard, 11 Feb 2018, 02:57 PM.

Alcohol at football needs to be the next logical step. In the last 7 years I could count on 1 hand the amount of people I have seen falling about at Craven Cottage hammered and I am sure that they would have been hammered before they got in so I doubt an over priced weak lager would have changed much. A normal day at the football for me used to be meeting a few mates in a pub in Putney which would be absolutely rammed because of the football. Trying to watch a game on the TV with people bumping into young queuing for ages at the bar. We would then head off about 2.30, if we have time a quick beer in the stadium and another at half time. Now we meet at Craven cottage and watch the early kick off at the stadium and have a couple of beers standing by the river. Much nicer, more relaxed and before 2.15pm the beers are £3.50 instead of £4.50 after 2.15. If you can get people into the stadium earlier you have much better opportunity to sell quality food (fulham have had hog roast rolls, craft beer, sour dough pizza stands at different times) and a better match day experience. The worst I have seen Craven Cottage was Scotland v Nigeria as the Scotland fans were so surprised to see beer there were more people out in the concourse than there was in the stand. I am sure that a few people would rip the arse out of it at the start however for the vast majority it would be a gradual shift. Some people will stay in pubs, some people drink carry outs, some people will drink in the stadium, we need to have a much more adult relationship with football fans in Scotland. Behaviour has shift over the last 30 years however the perception of football fans has not. |

I figured it would be pricey. Its $10 here at games for your buds etc, $12 for your local crafts which would be st mungo etc. People still buy it. Heck in baseball, american football games you'll see people buy beer for the full 3 odd hours. I've no doubt it may be more expensive than a fiver, especially as the government would want their cut for their buy off, probably in the form of a sporting event sin tax. I also think there would be that initial novelty factor described above. Unfortunately you'll get people who are pished or plan to get pished regardless or the people who'll end up watching the game in the concourse. There's way to keep people in their seats. Americans have the guys selling beer going up and down the stairs with beer. Cash only, limited selection and I think more expensive than the concourse but it means you don't leave your seat. We're probably missing out on money for the catering too to the burger vans outside. I've heard some dominos have opened in the stadium? Make the food edible rather than cold pies etc and people will eat it, again even if its pricier. Have Greggs, mcdonalds open up and celtic take a cut? I know these things are pricier but the biggest complaint is usually that the food is bouffin at the stadium (or lack of access to beer) rather than price. I imagine a lot of people treat home games almost like an event and have spending money set aside, probably for the pub or chippys before/after etc. Edited by Vinnie Bhoy, 11 Feb 2018, 06:28 PM.

Agreed - can only think the guys with the megaphones got a bit too excited. Overall, the fans made a great difference last night which came from the effort the players put in right from the first minute. Best night at CP in a long time. |

Agreed. Mac bhoy confirmed that the other one has wrapped it. Seen him at a few games since so must be the mega phone he has packed in. |

thought the GB were brilliant again last night, however, did they mistime the display? - I'm sure it was over and done before the teams came out |

No disrespect to the GB but the Jock Stein stand excelled itself and started loads of songs only to be drowned out by the GB. Please co-ordinate chaps and chapesses. |
