Important Fan Information

[Winstonthedog]

It is flagrant profiteering.... and you can't moan at the quality or cost if you are stupid enough to buy any of it 

[ronnup]

People will simply stop paying for it. Especially if theyve just paid 70 clams for a ticket

[Footballwipe]

£6.50 for a Chang, meaning at the current rate we'll be at £7 in a couple of seasons

 

£3.40 for a Pepsi Max, £3 for water and the £6 for a can of Guinness Zero.

 

What the actual earth goes through the minds of the drones who stand in the queue willing to pay for this stuff?

 

The most baffling thing is that it's not a captive audience. You're not forced into the ground 2 hours before kick off, it's not a 5 hour event, it's not 32 degrees and everyone is gasping. You can get a water/coke/slug a few bevs before the match at a fraction of the cost.

 

And yet, the drones go on queuing and paying for it. Game after game after game.

Probs the fact most of them are 'already pissed' at this point, so not much thought process goes on...

£3 for a bottle of water is simply disgraceful 

 

the IPA I had was at least IPA flavor 

 

but I was disappointed to be charged £3 for a bottle of water 

 

our club is intent on ripping us off 

 

and we as a fan group are powerless 

Just stick a bottle of water under your jacket and walk in. It really isn't hard.

[Clarkielcfc]

On water being £3, that is disgusting pricing!! Went to Edgbaston in the summer and they had a large ‘Hydration station’… where obviously you could fill cups/bottles up as many times as anyone needed… just taps, drinking water and free… how dare they offer something for free to people 🫨

Where were these new stalls? Outside all I saw were the usual vans? 

The poutine one was back of the east stand in the centre.

Why the **** don't our stands have names?

There are plans afoot as we speak for the West Stand to be renamed the Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha Stand. The Kop is to be called the Rooster Russell End, whilst the family stand is to be christened the 'Ron Robert Zeiler Stand'. 

 

The East Stand is to incorporate a mural of Jon Rudkin on the seating.

In regards to the drinks selection I'm amazed there's no choice of AF beer. I know that's not for everyone but some of us don't drink or are able to drink for one reason or another. Some decent AF  lagers and I.P.A's now.

[FoxesTalker]

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but there was no Fan Cam on Monday. Hopefully it's gone for good, but not holding out much hope as it wasn't included early last season either.

[Lionator]

Best thing fan groups can do is actively promote local businesses. There’s loads of good food places around King Street and loads of decent pubs in the vicinity where you can get tap water for free.

Well the traditional PA announcer wasn't on duty either - wonder if he's been stood down after the parade. 

 

 

[Tommy G]

£3 for a bottle of water, if you switch your brain on you can get one from the shop on the way to the ground for a quid. 

[CosbehFox]

Not a lot had changed had it? 

 

If you want to relaunch something, you have to make distinguishable in its difference. You've missed your chance to create an impact.

Both UFS and Foxestrust did this over the summer.

It will make for some fun arguments with stewards about the 'no alcohol in sight of the pitch' law. I wonder if anyone tried it with the Guinness Zero on Monday?

Someone said he has on another thread 

[Sir Steve Howard]

After the £25 season ticket debacle I will never be buying anything within the stadium ever again

He asked if Vardy would be here this season and Vardy said it was up to Rudkin and everyone booed. Pretty horrendous if he's been binned for that, hardly his fault for what JV said.

He lost social credit points unfortunately and now is due for “reeducation”

yeah seems harsh that, always thought he was decent and always found it quote noticeable when someone else has stepped in for a game in you get me

Would be funny if it wasn't so accurate!
