SCCC breaking the law with short measures?

[Soton Seagull]

Did anyone else get ripped off yesterday at the 20/20 (other than the ticket price!) by being given less beer than the pricelist displayed?

I bought 2 pints from the wilbury bar, noticed that one plastic glass was taller than the other. On inspection, 1 had a line for 1 pint and the other 500ml, a good 68 ml short. Call me anal, but when displaying £3.20 per pint on the bar and then serving from 500 ml glasses for the rest of the night, surely they are breaking the weights & measaures act?

More to the point, when charging that amount for a pint anyway, it seems like the are sneakily taking the piss by doing customers out of 12% of their pint. I pointed it out to the bar staff, who then ignored my point and asked whether I wanted the beer or not.

anal

you should have got them to fill two and a three quarter shot glasses with beer to make up the pint

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Im more concerned about the traumatic effect of the performance

 

[Gully]

You have been ripped off, if you are that distraught about the whole experience then you should complain formally to the club or alternatively contact Trading Standards.

Yep because the club really need to be fined for breaching the Weights and Mesures Act. A word to the manager should sort it out. If not bomb the bastards.

 

[barney]

By continuing to bat first we're giving short measures of cricket too, when the opposition inevitably win in about 17 overs. Can I complain to trading standards about that?

no you can not.

 

[Half Man Half Biscuit]

You were at a sporting event and you want a decent pint!? - what are you some sort of mentalist!? You'll be wanting nice food at a reasonable price next.

Really........next

 

[Gazwag]

You'll be wanting nice food at a reasonable price next.

and god forbid, a fork to eat it with.

 

[beorhthelm]

definately not anal and definatly illegal. if the bar staff dont retify i would certainly ask for the manager, how im sure would want it drawn to his attention rather than having fines etc. they can sell 1/2 pint if displayed/priced accordingly.

 

[Mendoza]

they also put weights in the bottom of your pick and mix bag - £6 for a few penny sweets - SAKE

That place is without doubt the biggest RIP-OFF in Brighton and Hove.

bought 8 tickets in person at the club shop and got charged £1.50 per ticket (£12) for using a debit card, (i didn't have time to go and get cash)

£3.20 for a plastic cup of warm lager

£2.50 for a tray of chips

£4.50 for a pork roll

£1.50 for a paper cup of black coffee (no sugar)

and in the case of last Friday, a half hour queue for the toilets.

OK, we're all adults and we don't have to buy the food and drink if we think it's a rip off but it stinks of "we'll charge what we like because most of em will give in and pay it" but now they're crying like babies because last night was 2,500 down on Friday. I for one am going to fewer games than ever now

Or become a member and just go to championship and 50 over games! Free to get in, and Harveys is £2.80, in glass glasses, and you get a comfy seat in the Jim Parks bar.

It's my strategy, and I'm sticking to it, despite what Gus Mackay wants!

I imagine winning the odd Twenty20 match might help bring the crowds in more.
