No bingo playing, or purchasing of scratch cards or lottery tickets over the next 40 years, nor a cheeky few quid on a Derby or Grand National runner?Quote:

You can't really blame them. People turn up week after week paying the insane prices of the burgers etc etc despite them being that insane price the last time. Generally speaking games aren't even at a mealtime, and if you can't pack something then there's loads of places on the way to the ground that would be cheaper.Quote:

It's the people paying the prices I despair at, dull enough to pay, not the people charging them.
The cost of wanting rather than needingQuote:

£6.60 a regular lager and £6.90 premium (which was Heineken).
According to Spurs fans this is hiked up just for the NFL games there apparently.
It's something like £6-7 for a can of carlsberg in the motorpoint. Probably more now that was about a year ago. Naturally only moaned on the first one and then when I looked at my bank account the next dayQuote:
