Svlad Cjelli You don't have to put up with it.

Wembley is offering a product - you are entirely within your rights not to pay the price they want for it.


It's not quite the same though, is it?

You don't develop a physical need for consumer goods in the way that you do with food and drink

Red Does anyone know how much the Reading FC rosettes will cost? I'm paying no more than £1.50.


I remember getting one of these last time around!! I was only 7 and must have begged my Dad for it - stupid piece of tat kept falling off through the day :roll:

But you can manage your need for food and drink by eating and drinking prior to arrival at the stadium and at a better priced outlet.

It is an absoloute certainty I will have a beer at half-time. I will moan about the fact that it is overpriced pissy lager when served, but can't go without one for two hours or so. Eating wise, I will have a tin of beans and sausages on toast before I leave - that will see me through.

The other issue is smoking :oops: The beer hopefully will be chilled, excellent and placed in my hand by a lovely woman with a cheeky smile on her face. I will them wake up after having beer thrown over me by Compo et al.

To be fair those prices are reasonable, not like tickets were expensive, £76 oxf*rd cheeky C*NTS.

Im just going to get so pissed before i turn up i wont be able to stomach another pint.

As for taking a bottle of something, just take a spare lid and shove it in your pocket

Yeh I was pleasantly surprised to get change from a £20 for 4 beers, had been led to believe they were asking for £6 a pint.

Pretty quick service at the bar too in spite of being staffed by muppets.

Me: Got any spirits love?
Her: We've got Smirnoff Ice.

Of those three, I'd say that Alivey has to be the favourite.




But it's not any of those 5. Too lacking in sophistication.

The food at Wembley was better quality and lower priced than at Eurodisney which I unfortunately had to sample last year.

Got caught up in the occasion and handed my hard-earned money over for a half-litre bottle of Carlsberg... remembered after the first mouthful that I really don't like lager and gave up before I was half way through - so effectively £4.30 for a half pint of bleugh :roll:

I paid over £6 for two drinks only to have the stupid woman at the entrance to throw half of it away as it wouldnt fit into three cups...

Complaint to the FA is currently in progress... :P

I asked a bloke whether they had any bitter, he said no. So I asked the woman on the till next to him whether they had any bitter and she said yes.
