• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

£4.80

I bought 2 hot dogs and a coke…£15😳😳

I won’t be buying anything in the stadium again.

You expect that in a cinema , not a football stadium
Probably cost about 1.50p to produce , even with other costs its a hell of a mark up
 
Nobody forces you to buy it, if we all boycotted the bars, they may rethink prices. Before the game 5 of us had a round away from the ground and it only cost £1.15 more than 3 pints in the ground at ½ time.

Back in the day a pint in my local was £1.53, and the cost to produce it and ship it to the pub was £0.10p.
 
Me and a mate went to a 'country pub' the other day. We normally do 'Spoons but I thought a change would be nice. As he normally drives to benefit from the joy of my company, I thought I'd be generous and drive and foot the bill. Normally the bill is about £18-20 with crisps and all that shit. £41. Bandits. The beer wasn't that great neither. Outraged. Mind you a single course Sunday lunch round here for two with a drink used to be £20 now it's £40.

I'm turning (justifiably, imo) into an even more grumpy old git. I'm only a poor pensioner!
 
Have the prices gone up from the start of the season? Must admit I don't get to the stadium much before kickoff and rarely spend any money there.

Reason I ask is that the Trust were working with the club when looking at bringing catering in-house and promises were made that pricing would be in keeping with the pricing people would expect, based on a number of surveys you may remember.

Might be the case that they've been making a loss. That wouldn't have surprised me.
 
I never buy any food or drink at any of the grounds I go to for all the reasons that have been mentioned, I make sure that my belly is full of ale and food before I go into the ground.

Yes, they’ve added 50p on to the price of every pint during the last week.

Ah cheers. That's disappointing, particularly the lack of public comment. I know they have a contract with one of the big providers, InBev I think, but no idea if that is the main driver here or not. May have been making a general loss beforehand.

£4.80 is below the going rate in stadiums.

Cardiff City charge £6 for Heineken and Dark Fruits, £5.80 Amstel and normal Strongbow.
