They call it the 'matchday lounge'
Is this the 'gazelle' lounge, or the clubhouse bar?
If it really is the bar, a massive mistake!
I'm lucky that I am over 60, so not an unmanageable increase for me, but the the four friends I attend with will probably not be renewing, let alone pay 50 quid for the privilege of buying two drinks before the game, & one at half time. We only went into the main stand (from Clayton end) so we could get a half decent drink at half time.
Work it out, guys, loss of bar revenue from us five, an average of around £45/50 per game, x 23 games?
Marketing have really shot themselves in the foot this time, not properly thought out the potential consequences!
