I sold out to Barmaster and installed the brewery at Morley

If a few of you come in a taxi and you want a few jars, then it makes sense to use the Con club to offset the price of the taxi presumably both ways, but if your just having an odd pint, surely for the sake of a quid you'd have a drink in the ground and support the club.

I regularly pay£1.69 for a pint of Ruddles in Wetherspoons, surely by your logic I'm being disloyal to Wetherspoons if I start to pay £5 a pint at Trinity then, Vasty??? Not all supporters can afford those sort of prices.

just going back on the conny club I did try to get ours in there at the time but it became very political as it was a committee that took the decision and they seem not to try something different a bit like if its not broken don't fix it which is ok suppose but not for new business ventures, Horbury was the same in fact Neil at the time spent 3 hrs sat in a meeting hoping to get ours in there but only for it again to be sidelined, Outwood had us in a few times and loved it but again politics played another blinder.

the plastic pots I used to hate but it was a safety aspect that wouldn't go away, you can get a harder one that doesn't give off a nasty taste but are expensive to the ones used

I'm sure you can get it even cheaper from the supermarkets, but I don't think that was the point he was making.

I wouldn't sell to Wetherspoons my costings wouldn't allow it, I would of been working for next to nothing think it was £45 a cask they was after to give you an idea I sold at £65 and that was average, ruddles will be brewed on a massive scale

That wasn't my point. Do you not think the club is a slightly different issue than everyday boozing? Do you think at 55 I'd choose to pay fifty quied for a polyester top? No I do so for the sake of the club. I pay over the odds for a number of things to do with the club that to me is what supporting is all about. Yes a fiver is expensive but if it makes the club money and gives us the team we all crave is it not worth the cost or am I missing something.

The choice is yours at the end of the day as I clearly stated but I think if you can afford to attend a match you've probably got enough money to pay a fiver for one or two pints 11 times a year so please don't use that social concience guff on me thanks. If you wish to drink elsewhere for a million and one reasons I don't give a toss but to narrow it down to a few quid for a pint, nah that strikes me as negative thinking. If you're drinking more that a few pints fair enough spread the cost though personally as Bren says I don't think I could handle more than a pint or two at a game.

As for your Wetherspoons analogy it's a bad one, a hugely expoitative company that sells cheap crap beer to anyone any time of the day in any state both physical and metal whilst aggressively destroying any opposition nearby - very social concience and very socialist I'm sure.





That last bit was just a bit of fun by the way.

The point that I was making, wayne, was that if you can't or won't pay a greatly inflated price for a pint it is not being disloyal, but merely a case of economics. Daddycool was was right when he said that, "You can either take it or leave it". Simple as!!!

Vasty did you ever try of of the Trinity ales served in the north stand?

Well!! I CAN'T DISAGREE with your last paragraph, Vasty. A very exploitative company, but their beer IS cheap

Sorry £5 a pint no

Sorry £5 a pint no

I guess the £5 is going to stick, even though it’s only in the corporate areas on premium lager ie San Miguel ????

Looks like it

Been a really weird thread this tbh.

,Tbf san Miguel is roughly in between £4 2 £5 ,bitter £2.50

Life at Trinity must be great if the main discussion point 2 weeks from kick off is the price of a premium lager!

What do you suggest is discussed then Mabel. Obviously things are pretty much alright. Great squad, everyone full of confidence, no injuries and everybody set to go on Feb 3rd!! Things have never been better for a long, long time.

I'll drink to that

What, at £5 a pint

And very nice was the San Miguel too.

Just think that you are supporting the Club you love as you down your pints, it makes it even more palatable.

If we want a sucsessful SL club it has to be paid for one way or the other.

Easy enough concept to grasp, plenty complain when they want a better fullback but then balk at subsidising the club a little by paying £4- £5 for a pint.

Go to the con club and get your two for £5, but then don't whinge when the club can't give Tom Johnstone what he could get from another club and subsequently leaves (for example).

This

I don't need variables I worked for the company who supply the said establishments.

Good news, I’ve knocked the corporate prices back down to £4 and £4.50
















Bad news is I’ve had to sell Tom to plug the gap in finances.......
