Why have we not got pumps though?
£4.40 for a can of luke warm carling is fucking criminal.
I always stick to the berry cider down the match but even that wanna very chilled on saturday either.
It needs sorting out big time and bottle bars outside would help things massively for a start.

I got someone a pint of some pale ale on Saturday and sure was from a pump. Don't drink it myself

The more people pay the insane prices for sub standard shit, the more it becomes accepted and in the long term, more leeway for price increases.
If the supporters boycotted the food and drink outlets, for what is essentially 1 and a half hours of your day, and engaged the supporters council, I'm pretty certain there would be change and change quite quickly.
I don't buy from the club, take my own stuff to eat and drink if needed, but by and large I can go without for that short time frame.
Evening kick offs are a bit trickier, but with a bit of planning they can be navigated quite easily.

Trying get a beer at half time in the Sentinel / Tile mountain whatever it's called is ridiculous. Club must be missing out on a lot of money with people getting fed up with queues and can't be arsed. A couple of pop up bottle bars outside at half time would help.

I never but football ground beer (other than at FGR where they brew their own!) very rarely buy football ground food because it's usually shyte & vastly overpriced

If people were more disciplined and rejected what is being served and how it is being served then it really would change. If there are mile long queues and people are prepared to pay over 4 quid for a bottle of warm lager then basic business sense dictates nothing will change, and from that perspective why should it?

Was it Cardiff that sold the local beer of the team they were playing when their ground 1st opened?
