Its dearer then just about anywhere else in Hull, I had an "organic" lager in town a couple of weeks ago and it was £4.00 a pint and it was nice. The garbage they serve in there is not worth £2 a pint so I think its about time the faithful boycott the stadium food and drink outlets.
I feel sorry for the travelling fans as its sometimes the only place they get chance to have a beer etc..........

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.;
How are these prices going to assist the SMC in reducing its deficits? Don't they realise it's going to increase them? Who's in charge for Christ sakes. Robins nest prices are £3.60 but a lot go to soccer sensations,

It's all a game so the SMC can post a loss, meaning they don't have to give any share of the profits to the council and adding weight to Allam's argument that he must be allowed to own the ground.
Rumour has it that the SMC are being awkward about hosting an England-New Zealand game next autumn, despite England/GB constitently drawing 20k+ crowds at the KC, again this smacks of another agenda to me, if you can't make a profit on an event that's pretty much a guaranteed sell out then you shouldn't be running a business.

The concept of price elasticity of demand appears to have passed them by. Same commercial team that predicted a massive sponsorship uplift from rebranding City to Tigers..

Agreed, I doubt rebranding to tigers would bring in £100million in investment which is what city will get if they stay in the premier league.
On beer prices, i will be with everyone else drinking in the pub before going in, did the smc really think that we would still buy beer at the ground when there are endless numbers of pubs just a few minutes away from the ground??

I remember that from A level economics, and that was a long time ago, so they can't pretend it's some new fangled thing that they haven't worked out yet.
It's not like they're the only place selling beer in Hull

My cynical mind also wonders if this is another contrived plot to squeeze our income, beer being the only revenue source which gives a cut to Hull FC. If there is a price difference for beer between City's matches and our own, it would be interesting to see if the difference is roughly equivalent to the amout per pint Pearson could expect to receive from our sales.
(Yep, I know I'm a paranoid harpy when it comes to Allam and his motives. )
