Shrimpers Club

[ldnfatso]

Is it my imagination that the beer prices in the shrimpers club have gone up yet again? I'm sure they went up during the off season and yesterday with the introduction of new tills (that incidentally none of the ******* serving could use) they have gone up yet again.

Speaking of the beer in the Shrimpers bar, What the hell was going on yesterday?

I bought a round in of 4 1664's and they were all off... Not the first time this has happened either

How much is a pint of lager these days?

Woah, bang out of order there mate.

They are there doing a job. Yes sometimes things may not go according to plan or you feel things are wrong but calling people ******* because they perhaps didn't have the required training in time for yesturdays match is way over the top and insulting to say the least.

 

[ldnfatso]

The prices are also bang out of order mate!

 

[Bielzibubz]

I totally agree, they are, but that doesn't change my opinions on your post.

The issue regarding Prices & the lack of Training on the New Tills for the Staff will be raised at the Next Liaison Meeting.

BTW for your information the Price rise yesterday was the first since last season (not that we are condoning the increases as they are bang out of order). There was no increase during the off season.

The whole pricing thing is taking the pee. 2 Newcastle Browns & a small diet coke cost me £7.50. A bottle of Dog is £1.30-ish in most supermarkets & the mark up on in Coke is at 1000%+ as it is made from syrup & fizzy water! Looks like it will be off to the Spread more often now.

Also, whilst on the subject of prices, 2 pies, 3 cokes & a Mars bar, £8.50!! I'll be bringing my own from now on!! I dread to think how much somebody with a family must spend every week!!

Blimey, that's cheaper than here! It's about £2.85 for a pint of Fosters! Mind you, all "international" brands are a lot more expensive out here; opt for a local brew (Cruzcampo, Mahou, Aguila) and you'll only pay out £1.50 a pint.

Anyway, back on topic: I very rarely used the Shrimpers Bar on matchday because the quality of beer was extremely poor and the quality of service was almost as bad. It sounds as if huge efforts are being made to attract people back into the ground for pre-match drinks but that it's not being 100% successful to the benefit of local hostelries such as The Spread Eagle.

Always considered the food at the Hall to be miles below a decent standard anyway, so bringing your own or getting sonme chips from the fish house seems to be the best matchday option, unfortunately

Never the less, please tone it down where the insults are concerned in future.

 

[Xàbia Shrimper]

But haven't the club banned people from bringing their own food into the ground (especially food from the Fish House)?

Chips & canned drinks (for safety reasons)I can understand, but sweets & bottles of water or coke etc, is a bit much. I have friends who bring 2/3/4 kids to games, & although I not a parent, it ain't cheap bringing up kids & then taking them out for treats.

meanwhile, here it's 11 rand a pint - which equates to about 79 pence. the much better 'local' brew, called windhoek, is even better value at 64p a pint

sadly for me, only for another 12 days

then it's UK prices again

£2.60 for Fosters? Serves you right for drinking a crap lager that the Aussies palm off on us & don't drink at home!!

 

[sealion]

Aussie lager?? Brewed in the UK & about as Aussie as me-Never been there & no connection to the Southern hemisphere
