What the club should do is introduce a minimum spend per adult, say £20 This could be done by charging each adult £20 entrance in exchange for vouchers that can be used at the bar.
Match-by-match places in Seven Stars are available to book now for £12 per match.
The pass will include:
Lounge access available from 12pm until 7.30pm on Saturday matches (before and after the match), and from 5pm until 11pm for midweek fixtures

Complimentary matchday programme
Relaxed dress code, allowing trainers and replica shirts to be worn
Is this a BARGAIN ?
Then refuse you entry to the game, for being 'under the influence'...
Get yourself a BETTER job then you can ASPIRE to things like the SEVEN Stars Bar
For that price you could see 12 "performances" in the Flying Scotsman in Kings X..

By all means tell me to bore off, but having recently experienced just what they lay on for fans in a US ballpark, this concept of actually charging fans just to enter a bog-standard stadium bar is utterly astonishing. Its off-the-scale stupidity. Its an embarrassment.
As a venue to watch the game I love the Amex, its a fabulous stadium, that goes without saying. But it genuinely amazes me just how horrifically wrong they have got it with regard to the catering, the service, and the bars. With a loyal captive audience they could and should be multiplying their turnover, its just such a massive FAIL on the clubs part. Just imagine the money they could make by actually having a large, decent, proper pub-style bar on the premises with a big capacity, serving some half decent Wetherspoons-style scoff, instead of the bland, anaemic airport lounge Dicks bar we're lumbered with, or the poxy concourses with the non-moving queues.
This Seven Stars bar with the £12 entry fee is a joke. Its the cracked-off turd on top of the shit sandwich BHA serve up to fans for their "matchday experience".
There are two universities next door! If you can not fill a pub next to them then you are doing something massively wrong!
So where might this large, decent proper pub style bar be? Outside stadium or inside remembering that it might only be at full capacity 25 times a year. Who would use it on non match days? Doubt it we'd get planning permission if outside the stadium, oh then there's the contracts with breweries - give the Club some credit please! Things are different in the states and from what I've seen no one is interested in the sport, just scoffing their faces for the entire match.
