Tbf no one really is going to enjoy watching Blackburn are they?
"Arsenal pie is most expensive at £4" yes, but all the others taste like you're eating the box...
What annoys me about this survey is that if you did it on the cost of beer in a pub, then London prices would be 2x some Northern shithole - and people would appreciate that the cost of living is a lot more expensive down here. Yet because our pies are the most expensive, its another stick to beat AFC with.
So what? You'll find similar prices for equivalent items at most big venues down here.
The problem is the club is purely influenced by market forces, which is also part of the reason for the expensive prices of food, drink etc at the ground. Yes, being based on London is part of it, but some other clubs are willing to take a hit on revenue to ensure they don't shaft the fans, because they're not run 100% as a pure, private enterprise.
No you won't. That is why they are more expensive than anywhere else. And that is where this Club positions itself - as being the most or damn near the most expensive at just about every aspect of it's business.
It would be nice to get something of the commensurate quality in return. And no, I don't really give a fuck about the price of pies, in the general scheme of things, they are immaterial.
What is not immaterial however, is this club's business model of screwing us at every available opportunity.
The food/ profits is not provided by/ go to Arsenal, Delaware North Foods bought the contract (they also rob you at Wembley and other assorted venues) to help finance the capital for the stadium that is bring us the prosperity we are enjoying at the moment.
