The prices mentioned don't seem too bad to me, sure you can get cheaper but you can say that about loads of things. If you want to watch football cheaper you can, if you want to drink cheaper you can. If you want to drink at MTFC and watch MTFC you pay MTFC prices. It's called supply and demand.
If we go up expect prices to go up across the board. This is a business trying to compete with other businesses on and off the pitch. As with everything you can always go elsewhere. If the bar was empty the prices would come down. Its not,, so they don't.
and what happens if it dies a death? once you lose a trade you lose it.
probably about 10 years ago, the Sandy Pate used to be rammed every Friday night. The season stopped, so they stopped the live bands as if peoples lives just stopped in the summer. They tried to restart the bands the following season and never ever recovered from it. Biggest mistake they made imo
What I am saying is, If you make people think about other options, then your business model is not a good one. When people then try alternatives, its difficult to recover from it. The increase has been significant enough to start a debate on here. Remember we are not big a big city, prices like this are not really seen in Mansfield, unless you are il Rosso or Ill Rossos little brother, and why not.
