[Kenhead]

But they can charge it because theres no other compertition once your inside there, so its a case of how badley you want something to eat of drink.
I waited until after the U21's game as would have rather had gone hungry. I belive a bag of crisps were 1.50

 

[Billy the Fish]

I think both teams are boycotting all the extras in retaliation to their crap ticket allocation.

What's that in pounds sterling?

 

[Kenhead]

On the news apparently some bloke brought 20 programmes!!!

Even tho i think its great that the fans are boycotting it, but if a parent is taking there kids then its going to be hard for them to say no to them if the kids want a hot dog or something.

In fairness to wembley when i went to a concert at MK Bowl last year, hot dogs and burgeres were that price aswell, thats how they get you because you can't go anywhere else. Also apparently theres something happening at Preston park this year and i was told that its a tenner to park your car!!!
Still not right tho.

 

[coventrygull]

Can you take a flask in with you

 

[Mendoza]

another question, do the winners go up the stairs like old wembley or is there a podium on the pitch?

What is the score with taking your own food and/or drink in?

They did do bag searchs, but they never checked mine.

Id imagine it would be alright tho, bit if you did have a bottle of drink they might ask you to take the lid off

Bit of luck we'll be starting the exact same thread about Falmer in a few years time

I doubt they would do much if you turned up with some sandwiches and a carton of juice or something.

 

[Black N Tan]

As the biggest sporting event in this country I don't think the admission is over priced. Bearing in mind the game lasted today 2 hours is that too long to go without a burger, why does anyone buy them.

 

[Stevie Boy]

its a rip off, £10 for a match programme

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

its a rip off, £10 for a match programme

£10 for a book of adverts to word it better!

 

[1066gull]

unrelated, but in a play-off final, who produces the programme?

According to the BBC you can't:

Bags were searched and electronic devices used to screen the 400 members of the written press while supporters were not permitted to take drinks and food inside.

[Herr Tubthumper]

from the BBC "Security was clearly going to be tight and it had to be.

Bags were searched and electronic devices used to screen the 400 members of the written press while supporters were not permitted to take drinks and food inside.

More than 1,000 Metropolitan Police officers were on duty and they were in good spirits thanks to the fact that both sets of supporters went to the game without any intentions of causing trouble.

Sensibly, there were no Draconian measures like those imposed at the recent cricket World Cup when it came to fans' paraphernalia.

There were plenty of inflatable FA Cups at the red end of the ground and hundreds of blue-and-white checked flags fluttering in the Chelsea section."

So, for security reasons you cannot take food or drink into the stadium but you are allowed 'fans paraphernalia' - why is a scotch egg or a sandwich a greater security risk than an inflatable FA cup or a banner or something?

I got lectured yesterday in the pub about how ''real fans'' cannot afford to go nowadays. I had a woman telling me how she had been offered a ticket for 60 quid but couldn,t afford that much.
She must have put 30 quid over the bar for G and T`s whilst I was watching the game though.

"REAL" fans have to pay that or at least close to that for a home game at Chelsea.
