Enough about all this wi-fi voodoo mullarky, lets discuss fecking £6 for a pie & pint and £2 for a coffee, its no wonder the concourse was a ghost town up until 5mins before kickoff. No way am I going to pay those fecking prices when you can get a pie and drink from Asda for about £2. Do the club realise that these prices are fecking ridiculous!!!! :evil:

That's feck all! Someone tried charging me £17 at the pre season friendly against Vitesse. I wouldn't mind, but I only ordered a burger, hot chocolate and a out of date packet of crisp!!

£17 :shock: !!!!!! Was it Gartside himself who served you if they tried to charge you £17, sounds like something he would do.

Parking gone up to £7 (It's not even a captive market as you can pay £3 elsewhere, or nothing on middlebrook)

Piss annoying drummers drumming away in the middle of a nothing passage of play to no reaction by the crowd

Goal music still on

Goal music incorrectly played even more cringe-worthy

Electronic advertising boards proclaiming that we're going up when losing at home and haven't won a game yet

According to above the food and drink prices are up

Worst of all, a home team who are a complete soft touch

A drink of normal Coke, a Twix and a bag of crisps for £4.

Or go to the massive Tesco next door and get a multipack of each for around the same price.
What a hero, What a man...... Ooooh, what a bad foul...

I think it was probably the 'out of date packet of crisp' that pushed the price up. Antiques are notoriously pricey.

There is no doubt that the British, on the whole, do not go out of their way in terms of maximising profitability and customer service. It's lazy and it loses customers.

Call it modern, if you like. :wink:

(To be fair to our former poet laureate, in his version it's 'humans' not 'football' and 'Slough' not 'Macron')

Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough,
It isn't fit for humans now.
