Harveys at the Stadium

[Dave the OAP]

So assuming piglets pies goes and Harveys, I thought the ethos of the club was a local community club, where the club would support "local" businesses....that would fly in the face of this!

 

[Titanic]

Yep, they would have no choice, John Smiths it would have to be, unless they wanted to leave the ground of course, and not be allowed back in.

or how about just watching the football? It would save me about £500 a season.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Yes they would. They might be disgruntled, and people on HERE would be up in arms, but when it came down to it, they would.

Bollocks would they. I for one wouldn't touch the stuff, because it's horrible and no replacement. And on average, I've probably drunk 3-4 pints of Preparation H, the Elixir of the Ouse, per visit to the Amex - I know, a lightweight compared to some but the bladder's not what it was.

As others have said, I'd head into town and drink decent beer there instead - thereby adding to the immediate post-match transport rush.

So, what's next on the good news trail? Pukka Pies, I reckon.

 

[Munkfish]

I think you under-estimate some beer drinkers palette.

Maybe... I hope its not true as a couple of mates will only drink haveys and it would be a shame if they didnt drink before games as no doubt they will be mute during the game if they dont have a drink.

Or you could NOT assume?

I'm not sure about that, I drink lager and think the ones at The Amex are rubbish but drink them anyway, the cider drinkers almost to a man don't like Strongbow but drink it anyway.

What makes you thing real ale drinkers will be any different?

 

[dougdeep]

Anyone else up for a complete boycott of products at the Amex if this happens?

 

[keaton]

Good luck with the queues to get away from the ground.

(I don't like any of the drinks on offer, most notably the cider is shit and most of those I go with feel the same. But we all tend to stay behind because a shit drink is better than a long queue.)

I can see that but financially going to the football is getting pricey enough, and i'm not paying £4 for a shit drink i'd probably nurse cup of tea for half hour

Good idea. Go hungry, and spite yourself because you can't * get your favourite pint. Boo ****ing hoo.

Then sit there, moaning your moany little head off that we haven't spent enough on players.

*if this is even true.

Local suppliers have already been dropped for cheaper alternitives.

A friends parents company supplied ingrediants for the club, however this has now changed and the company currently supplying are outside the local area.

No.

Good luck with that.

Exactly my point and my position.

I'm guessing that John Smiths sells in ridiculous volumes - so people are buying it no-matter what the snobs would have you believe.

I firmly believe that most bitter drinkers would buy JS if it were the only choice in the same way I buy horrible Strongbow.

 

[beorhthelm]

i cant believe this either... so im not going to untill announced. makes no sence whatso ever. the club know full well they'll lose substantial revenue if they dropped Harveys, and people wouldnt get early/stay late. and shirley Harvey's dont want to drop such a massive amount of sales.

 

[Albion Dan]

If Harveys is replaced by another decent beer no problem. If they replace it with John Smiths or the like then that will be my Amex drinking days over. Cant believe that they would take away something so popular that has become something the club has become renowned for as a usp.

When the products were great (Piglets & Harveys) I was quite happy to spend the money (approx £500 a season). If they are bog standard, I can probably take it or leave it.... and can think of 500 good reasons to leave it.

 

[dougdeep]

Good luck with that.

It's the way to treat companies that mistreat their customers, if they think they can get away with this then what will be next?

.are we not allowed to assume anything now?

I know you got to get a good price but I am trying to encourage business in Haywards Heath to buy local ally if possible and I think a community club should do the same.

Because you need a palette for ale. Lager is lager - lemonade and piss. If they bought in doombar or similar I could cope but John Smiths is utter muck. When you're used to shagging Louise Redknapp you don't want to start feltching Harry.
