Rate The Drinks And Food (Prices) At The Etihad

FFS I know that mate I’m not a half wit.

Moved seated this season and at the bar in my new seat you need to scan your ticket. In my old seat you just asked them for the discount.

I assume it’s like a supermarket club card. For a discount, they see who buys what.

No doubt next season, those who haven’t bought anything will have the price of their season ticket hiked!
 
It does seem crazy to be saying £5.40 is cheap for a pint. But it was the cheapest price I paid all day and when you consider that stadiums traditionally charge more than pubs, I suppose it’s got to be seen as a pretty decent price in comparison.

Oh yes. Same price as at the Northern Soul on Tib Street, too. Pic below. Bundobust is good too but not sure how that'll go down at the etihad.

I’ve always struggled to finish Northern Soul sarnies, definitely fill you up.
 
You must eat like a sparrow or I’m a greedy bastard. Could easily polish a couple off. Agree that they’re more filling than most of the offerings.

Re food offerings this is what the yanks get right in their stadiums. Seen a few baseball games over there and the concourses are huge and they have all the fast food outlets you can imagine lined up pumping the food out quickly eg McDonalds, Nathan’s famous etc.

I think k our owners would have liked this concept in a new stadium with the big brands inside doing the food similar to these USA stadiums but unfortunately we just don’t have the concourse space in the current set up.
 
The Beaker that they serve pint’s in make it flat as a witches tit.
Ruins the pint. Looks like Apple Juice
It needs some kind of widget that keeps the bubbles and a decent head
 
I bought a pint of London pride it was better than that Ashanti shite. I got 55 pence discount with my season ticket. Still expensive.

Well what I bought was simply because they didn't have what I wanted and I had to have something to eat!! How would they work that one out?? ;-)

BRING BACK MEAT AND POTATO PIES.... OK POTATO AND MEAT NOWADAYS. :-)

Have you tried buying the steak pie and some chips and putting some of the chips inside the pie?

I don't buy food or drink in the ground or immediately outside it, if I am taking a grandchild I will buy them a plate of chips which are slightly over priced for frozen fries.

Actually the ones in CBL1 are proper chips not those frozen fries. I think they got a lot of complaints season before last and went back to proper chips last season. :-)

Nooo that's not proper meat and potato. But I do take your point.

On Saturday (possibly because they weren't busy as I was early) I said, still no M & P pies and they introduced me to their supervisor Laura and she said she would tell them that Eccles Blue wants Meat and Potato Pies!! (As if that will make a difference.) :-)

I’d love the club to have one available for you and no one else!

That has made me laugh out loud. First laugh today after reading about Sven. Thank you @Alan Harper's Tash
I might write to the Sheikh or Khaldoon. He did once shake my hand at a 'meeting'. I'm sure out of the millions of people he has met since then he would remember me. ;-)





@jimharri no snide comments thank you. ;-) :-)

Mrs S said the same at 101. She was proper discombobulated. She Had a hot dog instead which came presented as a ketchup/mustard bomb. I was frightened to stand within five metres whilst she picked her way round the edges. No way I was getting my brand new ‘gillingham’ shirt spattered.

Hot dogs should be renamed GunDogs for this season.
