Tried my first cheese and potato pie on Saturday in hopes it was a good replacement for my favourite cheese and onion pasty that has been removed from the menu... it was a lot more expensive, that's for sure. And it was quite nice, but not worth £3.80 and I prefer the old heated pasties (Hollands were they?). Won't be buying from beyond the turnstiles anymore.

Bought a bottle of water on Wednesday.
When the Girl told me it was £2.50 I didn't believe her.
Anyway, I paid it as I was dying for a drink.
However, that's the last time.
Put it this way. Where I work you can get similar bottles of water for 35p each.(bulk/trade sales) That includes the retail mark up, which is then sold on to the trader, who marks it up again. So just imagine how much City are paying if it comes straight from the supplier.
Hazarding a guess I'd say City are clearing £2 on each bottle.

That might be pushing it mate, seeing as the revenue on each bottle after VAT is deducted is £2.08. City will be paying more than 8p for a bottle of branded water.jrb said:Ducado said:I object to paying £2.50 for a bottle of water, in fact I object so much I just buy one from Tesco, total rip off

It's still too much though, I agree.

sounds like the new food isn't going down well. After all this is football and people are coming for the game, not for the fancy shite you can now eat beforehand. Everyone, fans and club, would be better off if they started selling cheap, down market, simple food
Got curry and chips, the first time I got some food from the new menu.
£3.70 for that ffs. Didn't even wet my appetite. I'd have gone to the chippy but I forgot, just bring back simple, cheaper food and put them in a fucking tray not a shitty pot where you can fit about 5 chips in.

For those who thought this Jamie Oliver exercise was for the benefit of Supporters... Your Naivety has shun through.
Not bought any food from City, and won't do.
I have bought beer but have cut down alot as it's just a fucking rip-off.
Either you have more money than sense if you're regularly buying this, or your Club loyalty is in fact naivety and you need to wake up and realise the club are just taking the piss out of you.

They can carry on taking the piss - the steak and ale pie with mash is worth it.

Last 2 games I have eaten at the Fish and Chip shop in City Square.
Haddock and chips. Not the cheapest but best food I have had at the ground.
I wont eat in the ground as the food is gash!

Food is certainly not value for money in the stadium! The burgers are still awful but smaller, the hot dogs taste average but smaller and the chips are average and you get fewer in that new paper tub. Presentation is awful and so in review more expense for less ! Well done city...
york away to this!

If it's paying for David Silva's wages I would gladly pay four quid for a pint of piss water - oh, hang on a minute....

Agreed.
The food I have had is excellent and the pie was lovely.
On a side issue , Its the only pastry I have ever eaten in my life that did not give me indigestion.
I can understand people being put off by the price and that is fair enough but just don't buy it, don't whinge on about it.
Either I have been very fortunate or other people unlucky but the food overall is great (I suspect a fair few of the unlucky ones should stick to eating chips and gravy sat on a wall sampling the finest cusiene Bestwick's michelin starred chippy's can muster up)
I certainly appreciate what the club has done with the food offer.

Agree think it was £5.50 for pie mash and gravy which was very tasty and filling,

I'm going to treat myself to some Jamie stuff against Norwich.
I'll be out on a bit of a booze up as I'm not drinking in October to support Mrs Moon's attempt at stopping smoking and will need something to soak up the pre-match pints.

I thought I'd try a chilli hot dog Saturday, I asked for a chilli fucking hot dog and he gave me a plain one, I looked at him thinking what drugs is he on, he told me the sauces were on the far wall, still looking bemused I walked over to the far walk and all there was, was tomato sauce and mustard. This **** has had me off, I was gonna go back and slap the **** but there was about 6 billion City fans at the counter anyway I bit into the shit hot and broke my front teeth and dislocated my jaw it was that hard.
Oliver you're a ****.
