I can (and will) if our price for 50ml is not much cheaper than a supermarket price for 350ml!

As I said, I expect to pay a lot more than that (and I don't begrudge that), as I understand the principle of economies of scale and would like my money to go to the club rather than a supermarket. But there comes a point where if I wanted a Jack Daniels, I'd be far better off by bringing my own bottle to the ground.

Would you go into a pub/bar and take your own bottle of JD with you because it's a lot cheaper?

The club have got overheads just like a pub has.

It must be me but were moaning about soap and the price of whisky after a good win ?????

Oh the toilet rolls aren't quilted 😂

Would you pay £8 when you could pay £1.86?

As I said I know why it's a lot more, but there comes a point when it's simply daft to pay that sort of money.

Yes it's you 😀; I was merely enquiring as to why the soap was watered down, as it struck me as an odd thing to do. Watered-down soap is not something I've ever experienced before at football match and it struck me (perhaps wrongly) as a cost-cutting measure, which is why I asked.

Would it have been ok to ask had we lost?

If that soap is at Woking, I might think that Woking are penny-pinching and wonder why, that's all.

Unfortunately Nathan this is what it costs in a lot of pubs/bars these day's if you want to go out for the night unless you want to frequent a Wetherspoons.

Pint of real ale in the Moon and Spoon: £1.99

Pint of foreign cooking lager (complete with chemicals) in the Rebels bar: £5

No brainer.

 

[Reading Rebel]

Doesn't the Rebels bar have a couple of real ales from the Windsor and Eton brewery?

I like a pint of real ale but your right normally tea during the day time at games.

But they do need to cover the costs of the bar and make Ashley a profit.

At the moment I'd say if there is any profit made, which I doubt it, will be going into refurbishing the ground.

It’s a business so I doubt very much the new bar hasn’t been set up not to make a profit!

I expect that's the plan but if there's any profit to be made it might take some time.

Slough's budget is well below average in our league So  would cheap beer and Sunday league players be better? WR don't go to the Oval it's £9 pound for a pint of Guinness

I wasn't going to mention it but since you've brought it up Codpiece 😅

I got stung, obviously by mistake, for 2.50 for a cup of tea on Saturday in Rebels.

I queried it and the chap said 'that's what the machine say's' 😅

You've got a good point there Ian.

There's no doubt that our new Rebels bar is a great new facility which hasn't come cheap.

There's also plans to improve the rest of the ground, behind the goals etc.

So if we want decent players and excellent facilities we might have to pay that bit extra.

Outrageous!!!

You can buy 200 tea bags & a litre of milk at Tesco’s for £4.00…. so surely a cup of tea shouldn’t be more than 10p in Rebels 😉

Historically, Non League football bars have always been quite cheap. After all the Rebels bar

is a bar at a football ground in Slough, not an idyllic location with panoramic views 

of Windsor Castle, the Thames and the Berkshire countryside. If I am paying £5 a pint

(as you do in Windsor town centre), at least i expect a decent view. Get a grip.

You can see out into the car park and possibly the away dug out if you ask people to move WR. What do you want, hurds of wildabeast running majestically across the plains😂😂😂
