Watch England in Dicks Bar...

[gripper stebson]

...only £10 and you get a free pie and a pint.

So £10 for a pie and a pint in a normally free venue then

Seems a bit cheeky.

I think it fine and should be a good atmosphere.

It's not bad value I suppose but I can't see it being very busy. The club would be better off making a big deal about watching footy at the Amex for free then rake in the cash from drinks etc. I think having to book is going to put most off.

 

[leigull]

£10 plus the train fare to get to Falmer, who would want that to watch football in the conference room type facilities at the Amex as opposed to a free pub in Brighton?

Has that Paul Barber chap started yet?

Agree, I would probably go and watch a game or two there but do not fancy having to book in advance, would rather just be able to rock up if the mood takes me!

 

[Notters]

Can't see why they're charging. Would consider going there if it was free.

I think you are right. A email out saying all England games available free at Dicks Bar then make money on sales makes way more sense...

They should open the East stand brasserie instead, much nice to be able to have a beer and look out onto the pitch too.

Isn't there the small issue of the East Stand being a building site at the moment??

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Why they are charging for this lord only knows.

Isn't there the small issue of the East Stand being a building site at the moment??

...and the fact that the East Stand Brasserie doesn't overlook the pitch.

 

[Oscar]

The fact Dick's is open most evenings anyway (albeit not as late) makes this even more odd.

I'll be interested to see if they change tack during the tournament.

Free entry to my front room.
Free pies and pints in fridge.
Just two steps from the bedroom.
Limited seating though!

I question the free beer and pies bit, but I agree with the sentiment, In this day and age the price is certainly right

 

[n1 gull]

Seems bloody weird to me, why the f*ck would you pay to watch the football in Dicks Bar?

 

[Gazwag]

If they set up a massive screen to watch the game and the extra money is to cover this then ok, but if its just watching it on the small TV's that are already there then seems a bit of a rip off.

 

[matt_32510]

Why would anyone pay to watch TV down a pub/bar ? Think I will stick to the King & Queen.

 

[Stat Brother]

That is assuming ALL football fans want to go large in a heaving pub, in Brighton central.

I can't see the idea appealing to most of us, but I'd imagine there's certainly a niche of fans who'd enjoy watching the games and atmosphere @ Dick's.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

You can't charge for something like this. The whole 'free pie and a pint' thing seems silly too.

Get people in the door. (i.e make it free) and you'll certainly shift a hell of a lot of pies and pints anyway.

I'd suggest they've done it like this because they have no idea how much stock to buy? Weird otherwise.
