All wonderful stuff when the fanzone is packed out and selling last amounts of overpriced scotch eggs but what about when it is mid January, we are mid table and its blowing a gale, freezing cold and pissing down with rain with 3500-4000 miserable wretches not packed into Blundell Park

Yes what about it? What is your point? |

Don't know why you're getting your drawers in a twist Swin, with all respect you don't go pal, doesn't affect your match day experience!.. The fanzone is a little belter, kids area, live bands/, artists, good food and a place to chat all things football, I've met new fans I'd not normally have got to chat to. And you may be a "miserable wretch" but don't taint us all with your own persona.. |

I don't think he has one, not at least one I can get my head around. |

Don't want to sound like i'm dismissing your points Rancido, because if people are genuinely getting priced out of eating/drinking at BP then thats obviously not great - but surely there is a choice to either eat before you enter BP, or choose something different within BP if people are more hard up? There are still stalls that sell the more standard fare aren't there? (correct me if i'm wrong as i don't know for sure, but i think i remember seeing that there is..)
4 quid for a scotch egg sounds expensive on a base level, but it's not exactly a bog standard scotch egg that you'd get off the shelf in Tesco.
I think the whole point about the new catering in the fanzone and BP was to offer a different alternative, something a bit nicer than what you'll usually find at a football match to entice people into spending a bit more inside BP and support local businesses at the same time. It seems to be working but these things do cost a bit more than the mass produced stuff that has been on sale previously.
As i mentioned earlier, the club still has a deal with Molson Coors to provide drinks at a cheaper price..
I agree that anything to bring more fans in to spend more money is a good thing, both for the club and the fans match day experience. I still think a less expensive, quality middle ground could be aimed for. The point about beers is an interesting one. I used to be in the pub trade many years ago and the price you paid the brewery was based on your "barrelage" ie the amount you sold. The greater the barrelage then the greater the discount. A case could be argued that if the beer was priced at a more competitive level then you would sell more thus increasing your barrelage possibly increasing your discount. Now I appreciate that the opportunities to sell beer at the Club is limited by the times it is open but it is an area that could be explored in the future. |

Have managed to stay out of any of the negative threads for ages, but thought I'd dip my toes back in and open up page 29 of this and the first thing I see is Ipswin still banging on about the fucking scotch eggs months later.

I've obviously been abroad for too long. 4 quid for a scotch egg!!! I'd want a T Rex egg for that. Last time I went I got a hot chocolate. It turned out to be a Willy Wonka one because it never got cold, which was nice because it was bitterly cold - especially for little ole me because I'm used to running around in shorts.

Lowering the prices wouldn't result in more sales. The queue for the bar is constant from the moment it opens until it shuts. Not so full after the game ends, but the bar is always busy. I've not been in there much as a paying customer because it is usually one in one out by the time I get to the ground, but when I have been in, I have never seen the bar staff with no one to serve. |
