Cheaper than any ground I've been to in last few years.
Luton was about £4 for a pukka.

That is a more than fair price for a football ground.

That's the problem though. We want more people through the gates, to bring their children and spend money. Then we price them out of it.

According to Paul Hornby in a RC interview just now the pies are almost sold out!

If the club decided to give them away for free it still wouldn’t please some miserable [SwearFilter] on here.

Agreed.. people have been screaming for the club to do this and other money making ideas and then you still get someone complaining! The mind boggles sometimes

Unbelievable, complaints about no pies on offer for years then we get them and £2.50 is too dear!

Obviously not an issue for a lot of people as they’d virtually sold out before KO and brought more in for HT - which again sold out.

Plenty of cans being sold.

Very little in the way of queues in the X Bar, people using the foyer area....I’d say that’s a resounding success.

We’ll look at the possibility of getting a TV in there now.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

£2.50 is absolutely fine, and so was the £4 pie and can deal. As people have said above, I’ve paid more than that for a microwave pukka pie in other grounds - at least these are proper homemade ones! The hunters chicken one was great.

Well done to everyone that organised it

£4 for a homemade pie and a can of beer is a great deal. Had a breakfast pie which was top notch!
