you have to pay to get in, once inside its just a bar with beer and occasionally grub
I favour the power league, same queues but free to get in

yes, it is free post match, however I have read and re-read the first post, and at no point did he ask about post match drinking, so naturally I assumed (and rightly so i think) he was talking pre-game

It is , which is why i don't park at the ground, i take a slow walk back to the back treets off campbell road and am usually driving away long before most have left the car parks, which is why I now drink in the gardeners pre-game these days

i am a member and i go in before and this season started going in after aswell to let the ques on the car park go. Its good in there apart from the rip off prices i go downstairs before but after always go upstairs becuase there is more space and can get seats easily as there is a big group of us. The only thing that does my head in is that fuckin dj!! lol he's not that bad but why does he have to be so loud ? anyone who goes in there should agree he has no need to be so loud!

Used to go in a while back. Pay to get in? Its not a night club. Oh and the beer is watered down, the ques are hurrendous, the food is the same shit you get on the concourse. Get yasen down Stoke town where you can get into a pub for FREE

Think its £2 to get in. Beer is horrendous unless you like warm lager. Its a rip off. Queue is normally about 5 deep. Its roasting like an oven in there. It looks like and feels like a youth club. Apart from that its fine Get daen some real pubs in stoke to sample the pre match atmosphere. The Gardeners is a belter. Good ale, free to get in, not roasting like an oven, and only 10 minutes from the ground.

Don't think Delilah's is as bad as people are making out on here to be honest. We go in before every home game, and yes it doesn't exactly have a rousing pre-match atmosphere,but its nice enough for a pre-match drink. Bar the entrance fee, beer costs the same as I would normally expect to pay these days too. Yes the DJ can be a bit too loud though - and he also needs to learn how to read foreign names on the team sheets ;D. But,if you are just looking for somehwere have a drink before the game, its not too bad - they do a quiz which is sometimes good when they actually have questions that anyone under the age of 40 might have a chance of getting! And they have screens with the football too.
So ye, there are probably plenty of alternatives that may offer better facilities, but its not some overpriced dive like some of the previous comments on here have painted it out to be ;D. In my opinion anyway

Isn't it £2.70 or £2.80 for a fosters??
It's £2.00 in Last Orders, £2.20 in spoons, £2.40 in The Plough.
So it really IS overpriced drivel when you consider your pints shit.

only real problem is its far to hot, it gets really packed and I feel really uncomfortable so as the winter gets worse the more clothes I'll wear and the worse i'll feel.
