Why won’t contactless work for most??
I don’t see many people spending more then £30 at a time up there.
How did all those 1000’s of kids get through there first game anyway with out being able to buy a pack of haribo an a coke?
An who stands at a bar with the que not moving in a football stadium for 15 minutes when there’s about 10 more a short distance walk away.

You pays your money and makes your choice but its bordering on daylight robbery to me.
City should incentivise fans to buy in-house rather than Greggs but they don't.

No, it is still with Compass. I was talking to the woman in charge on Level 4 before the Nice game.

Maybe this is what the fan zone will be about.

Would be amazed if the prices in the fan zone will be any less than in the ground.
Compass would surely have some sort of agreement preventing the club selling food and drink cheaper in the fan zone as obviously that would hit their custom quite hard.
Maybe Compass will be running the fan zone too?

I'm not sure, I've seen little about it.
I thought maybe the Fan zone might have been a way around getting money from compass. Not sure tho.

You may well be right.
Hope Compass don't find out!

Because most people buying beer with their mates are in rounds and it doesn't take a lot to go over thirty quid.
You're a chopsy little fucker ain't you.

I understand that having a pint is a big part of the football experience for many people but you can get better and cheaper beer before and after the game in any number of pubs and clubs within walking distance of the ground.
Yet still at every home game the exodus starts around 35 minutes into the first half as hundreds of people head down to have an exceedingly expensive pint of average beer and watch the game on the televisions in the concourse.
Each to their own of course and if that's what you want to do then good for you but all I can say is that there must be an awfully lot of thirsty people who go to City games!
