I would first question anyone who pays this, are they a little dull. That really is ridiculous :old:

I remember paying £8 for a plastic glass of tepid piss (fosters) outside Premier inn on Wembley Way before the Liverpool game

Not known as rip off Britain for nothing.

They can ask whatever price they like - it's upto you if you pay it. Personally I think if you pay £12 for that you either have too much money or you are an idiot.

By the looks of that burger he did pick up the left overs from the floor :shock: :lol:

And to think some people moan about paying £6 for a Grazing Shed burger at CCS :laughing6: They're actually worth paying a bit more for :thumbup:

Outside Wembley?

Last time we were there I think it cost £5.50 for that.

City charging £3.90 for a pie is scandalous.

I agree. They offer a pie and a pint for £7 as if its some sort of bargain. And £16 for 4 pints is their latest "offer". I can sit down at a table and have a pint in nice glass and a burger and chips delivered to my table in Wetherspoons all for £5.49. I used t o enjoy having a pie or pastie with a cup of tea when we were at Ninian Park but I refuse to pay the prices in the ground these days. I know its the same everywhere but its wrong.

i rarely buy food or beer at grounds - complete rip off, and garbage quality.

you're only there for two hours, i don't see why you can't just wait it out.

£5 for a pie and a coffee up to kick off is not bad.The pies,to be fair, are really good.

In two local cafes I visit from time to time, I pay £3.50 for a steak pie and a mug of coffee. There is normally myself and two youngsters so the cost is just over a tenner. At £5 a time the same would cost £15, a mark up of nearly 50%. Problem is in this country, we are so used to being ripped off, that we actually think things are good value when we are not being ripped off quite as much. Personally, I am not sure 3 pies and coffees for £15 is anything other than a rip off, but because it's a football ground it's accepted as being value for money.

Early 80s at NP I remember always noticing the stale cheese sandwiches that were kept under a clear perspex dome. You could see right through the edges of the cheese where it had gone hard and the bread all curling up. I don't recollect anyone ever buying one. I don't even think the mice had a go at them.

Like the prices at music festivals I go too, they can charge as much as they want and it's easy for them to do that and still make a killing... why upload that photo with that caption and complain even though you paid for it. :banghead:

The reason they charge these prices is because idiots like that guy pay it.

Also I notice it's a double burger, I'm sure if he wanted to he could have a standard burger and paid less.

Also why not plan your day a little better. I've been to many away games in UK and Europe and never once have I felt the need to buy anything from a burger van.

If memory is right I've only ever bought food in a ground once and that was Stockport away and it was a pie which was actually really nice :lol:

I was thinking the same mate. All that's missing is a few stray clocksprings and a squirt of brown sauce.

What are the Grazng Shed burgers like down the stadium.

Huge fan of the burgers at the original location in town, but unsure if they're of the same quality?

I don't eat burgers or food at football grounds and couldn't envisage paying anywhere near half of what that costs.

Much as I liked a pie at Ninian I would never buy one first game of the season because I always suspected they had been left over from the season before. Used to wait until September to be on the safe side!

Would people risk it now with health and safety being so strict?
