A comparison with Lord's is a bit strange though, that is an international England test match at the most famous ground in the world, a comparison with football would be Wembley, not a ground where Championship football is being played.
not sure i quite follow the logic here: because overpriced items are below other overpriced locations, people shouldnt complain?
its because of this attitude that places can get away with the prices in the first place and drinks rise above well above inflation/excise increases over the years. i will be in a central London pub this evening paying £2.80-£3 a pint, that should serve as a benchmark for prices.

You know what, I was going to have a go back but I really cannot be ar*ed any more with all this bickering over Amex prices. If you don't like the prices then don't buy. I for one will be having the odd pint or two and helping contribute towards the clubs development over coming years.
Which pub?
That's certainly not in anyway representative of normal London prices.
Glastonbury £4 a pint.....
Lovebox Festival £4 for a CAN of lager.....
Wembley is now in excess of £4 a pint. Almost £10 for a burger, chips and pint.........
I'm happy with the Amex prices. Plus with the 10% Cashback/Smartcard offer for every 10 pints you drink you get a free one!
So in short, the more you drink the more you save!!!!!
LETS GET PISSED
May be tricky given that in this months Sussex Life, among a bunch of stats provided by the Albion, it states the club expect to sell 4,000 (four thousand) pints per match day...

4000 pints seems a bit low to me. With a capacity of 22,500 that means that only 17.5% will have a pint (just 1 pint). And yes I know there are families with young children (before I am ridiculed). But I would have thought that hospitality alone would sell that amount on match day!
as will i. i wasnt bickering over the prices, just the argument that its cheap relative to some other overpriced location. see above, quite why anyone in Lyme Regis will pay £4.60 for a Stella is beyond me and it shouldnt make any bearing on whether £3.60 for a Harveys is a good price.
Aldgate Wetherspoons though i know plenty of other pubs that are around £3 pint. its very representitive, not everywhere is £4. not drinking Stella helps.
Did you try to get served last Saturday?

Mmm Wetherspoons. They are known (allegedly) for serving up slops to help reduce beer prices. I've actually seen it done personally. You ask for a pint and they disappear to another part of the pub to "pour" your pint. I followed them around the corner to see them pour my pint from the slops tray. Needless to say I reported them and they got in to trouble.
Before you said where i would have guessed at Wetherspoons being the answer.
The reason Wetherspoons are cheaper than virtually all other drinking establishment is down to them buying booze that is about to go out of date cheaply from a distributer (shelf life of days) and then relying on a very rapid sell through (hence the low price) to be able to make a profit on it before it goes off.
