Yeah, we're not far off London prices when it comes to beer prices in the city centre, Sinclair's aside. Was explaining to some Arsenal fans on Sunday that you're looking at close on a fiver a pint in many of the bars in the Northern Quarter and they were astonished.
House prices though - that's another thing altogether. The gap between Manchester and London is a gaping fucking chasm!
next time go in the nelson £2-70 a pint cider £2-20We're catching up!

What checks a half hearted scan down the front of you while you watch people walk through unchecked with Rucksacks on there backs, and they are asking kids and oap to take there hats offCynical and not true either.
Unfortunately the Etihad is considered one of the most 'delicate' stadiums during the times we live in. The club want to make sure every box is checked in the event of something taking place.
The actual impact of this is that it's impossible to get people into the ground earlier, in fact, it makes the process a lot longer, which is something the club aren't happy with but are willing to take it on the chin while the checks are in place (for the foreseeable future).
Stopped off in high Wycombe £4-40 pub next to yellow coach park £5 Wembley £5-50 credit card only had to give cash to guy in front to get are pints (top man ) said no problemWe were in JJ Moons near Wembley Sunday coors light £2.69 a pint what a result that was.
They were talking about recognising loyalty a while ago but that went by the wayside when 'Squeeze 'Em Till It Hurts' Soriano came in.They could look at reviewing the loyalty aspect of having a season ticket.
Just off the top of my head:
1) after 10 years consecutive ...half price for that season or free. Little to be lost by club in income terms. A small token for long term loyalty
2) offer a chance to trade loyalty points accumulated to offset the price of ticket ie 1000 Pts is worth 100 pound. Give you the option if you maintain the points or use to assist your season ticket outlay.
With the computer systems and technology it is not too dissimilar to online shopping entering promotion codes. Unlikely to happen but a reward system of some sort would be a good news story to the season ticket holders.
If they were truly serious about security, they'd be checking people at the site perimeter. At the moment, I could walk into City Square completely unmolested with an automatic rifle and a bag full of grenades, kill a few hundred people and walk away equally unmolested. So it isn't about security or at least real security.What checks a half hearted scan down the front of you while you watch people walk through unchecked with Rucksacks on there backs, and they are asking kids and oap to take there hats off
Security searches aren't there to stop people taking drink and food into the ground.
Why is some midle aged Manc going to blow himself and fellow City fans up, especially as he's been a season ticket holder all his life.
Some of you on here have to get f***ing real.
The club is taking the piss out of us. And you are taking the piss out of us as well by trying to justify the searches by backing the club on this.
Deary me!
