I don't care if other city fans like a couple of pints at the game, live and let live, but the obsession with beer prices gives the impression, that some people are more interested in getting pissed than watching what is fast becoming the most talented City team in its history. So no I don't drink before, or during the game, certainly afterwards, when I'm back in Didsbury (oh only if it was back in the Dam), thats just me and the 20, or so people where I sit who are virtually tea total until the game ends as they are coming from, Stockton, York and the Isle of Man. So, when I can park within easy walking distance of the ground, now walk up an entertaining walkway and actually sit under some cover before and after the game starts watching the seasons highlights on giant tv screens, then sit in one of the finest stadiums in Europe and pay less than I did last year for my season ticket, to watch an even better team (certainly on paper) all the while pinching myself that what has happened to the club I love and have supported for nearly 40 years, isn't a dream, then you'll to forgive me for not giving a flying *uck what they charge for a pint!
I look forward to the "one of the finest stadiums in Europe" bit. Not bitching, but we are nowhere near that yet. I am sure we will be though.

So ALDI & LIDL are in your opinion High brow retailers?

No they are not high brow but they have a completely different product line up to other supermarkets - a lot of imported stuff no one else sells - the general concept of pile it high sell it cheap refers to selling the same stuff as other retailers at a lower margin. i.e. Mary D's sells similar beer to city but at different prices.

My "local" when I'm in London is quite upmarket and they don't charge that. Ridiculous.bluestew said:The price's are the same as in the ground ie, £3.60 for fosters, bitter and cider (pint).

blueloon said:The City Square is a great development by the club and they deserve a lot of credit for the way they have pushed this project forward. We as fans of Manchester City need to get behind this and stop complaining. This is likely to be the first stage of developments around the stadium, so back it and enjoy the experience because it will hopefully only get better for Manchester City and East Manchester...
Well said... we have come a long way from those toilets at the back of the Kippax.

Why not just sell beer at £3.00 seriously? They would attract alot more people foolish city. Greed gets you no were.
