Did you miss the part where I said 'for whatever reason'?



I don't consider paying a fiver to get into a pub is good value. Pubs make their money from selling booze. This pub will sell loads of the stuff at a time when they wouldn't normally be anywhere near as busy. Adding an entrance fee is, in my opinion, profiteering.







And that's your choice. Just as it's my choice to say I don't think the cinema represents good value for money.







Dunno, I don't get that, either.













What fuss? The only fuss has been from people saying "fook off to France and watch it" and suchlike. I've just very calmly expressed an opinion.

It's not that £5 is a lot of money per se, but I think it's a lot to pay to get into a pub to watch a TV.

Wouldnt get this kerfuffle with Rovers fans. We pay more than this to watch ageing Aussies in press conferences and training sessions.

or if you look at it another way he has effectively closed his pub for the evening and turned it into a sports viewing venue. Presumably he won't be able to offer the usual food service due to the volume of people so he is simply making up his loss in food takings by charging an entry fee

Exactly, the fact we're all Hull fans has blinded people's judgement on this. So to put it into another perspective, if you turned up to YOUR LOCAL for something to eat or a few pints and they had an event on that they were charging for but had no interest to you, would you be happy to pay that cost to get into the pub? My point was that if you're a regular, you're having to pay out a £5 note to get into somewhere where it's free every other day. In effect you stick two fingers up at your regulars for the sake of £1000 - £1500

Is anyone allowed to start threads advertising their business, or does this bloke have special dispensation?



If so, I will be posting a thread in the next couple of days advertising my latest tour: =#8000FF'The Silky Polar Bear Tour'.



It's a show starring myself as the main act, singing, dancing, some stand-up comedy and a couple of very interesting anecdotes from my life involving a-list celebrities.



Tickets will be £45, with some going to the charity, 'Top Hats & Waistcoats'*.









* - 'Top Hats & Waistcosts' are a charity I founded, which specialises in making tailored top hats and waistcoats for wild polar bears.

You don't think the wall to wall beer drinkers will more than offset lost food revenue? It's a lot easier to make profit from booze than it is cooked food. If you think of what goes into preparing a main course at six quid or a pint at three quid, you'd sell the pint over the main course every day of the week.









This'll teach me not to get involved in things that don't concern me. Actually, it probably won't...

As the pub will be at maximum capacity you wouldn't get in anyway. Actually I'd just go to a different pub for the 1 time in the entire year that this was happening and stop moaning.

Well as I've paid an entrance fee I'm under no obligation to consume beverages so to make up for the fiver I'll be nursing a tap water for most of the game

As you're obviously not grasping what is a very simple point that i made, I don't expect an adult response. Any chance you could leave this thread for the grown ups ?

Now there's an idea. You could take a hip flask!

Look if you thinks its expensive don;t go .........



I would love to go I liked the nights we had there before always a good laugh and atmosphere, but alas I am booked for aparty miles away.
