Rach - Order more beer and stock up on the pies!!! : Sun Feb 07, 2010 10:01 pm  

What the hell has gone on with Lees catering vans in the ground!, it seems that a step up in division for keighley means that the caterers have taken the opportunity to also step up their prices, except Keighley didn't put their admission prices up by around 100%-150% so how come the caterers think they can demand such high prices?, a standard coffee now costs £2! and a latte is £2.50!, I didn't check out the food prices but going on last years prices the pies in the bar are cheaper for sure.

I must be dreaming , beer is now officially cheaper at Cougar Park than the coffee , thats right a pint of local at £2 or a latte at £2.50 - errm let me see!

when its cold outside and the half time hooter goes then isn't it time to warm up with a hot cup of coffee?, well no more , I for one will be warming up in the bar ordering a pint and a pie and be back out to watch the second half before the lads make their way out onto the pitch, why do the caterers think us fans want to miss out on the second half kick off while we wait in line for a latte, mocha or cappuccino? and pay so much for it, it is unbelievable, how could they get it so wrong! - A small message to them - there were lots of people in the queue moaning like mad about the waiting time, then as they paid, about the high prices, some people were walking away as they saw what other people were paying, so reduce those prices or lose out on business!

Rach stock up the bar - we are coming in!

I have to agree, £2 for a coffee is far to much.

You could see the shockon peoples faces as they were told the prices.

And I don't think the prices were on display , at least not clearly.

Each to their own my friend....personally wouldn't touch Tetleys or John Smiths miself .

.Moorhouses def though, do like their 'blond witch' brew though 'pendle witch' a bit strong for my tastes

As for the 'Black sheep'...once again didnt even get a half of the stuff before you greedy b**gers had supped the lot !

I firmly believe that English beer is more complex than wine.

Some you like....some you don't, some is better drunk on certain occasions or conditions or with various foods, some tastes better in some pubs than others, heck it even depends on what mood you're in as to which one you'll prefer. Long live the English pint

Absolutely spot on

At home I either drink Innis & Gunn or Meantime London Porter depending on what mood i'm in.

When i'm out i'm usually on Landlord, whatever real ale catches my eye, or German hefe weiss beer.

I like the odd blond beer in the summer months, and a nice session beer like black sheep, pedigree or taylors or whatever when I feel like having a few - at the match, for example! Nothing too strong though, they can be nice but they aren't really the best choice if you're having a few.
Strangely, I've never been to a beer festival - dunno why!
