I can understand the prices if we were in a bespoke new stadium but the prices don’t represent the customer experience at the mem. It’s a tired almost dilapidated stadium and the supporters deserve better value for money. It’s like the new regime are getting ahead of themselves. We don’t deserve rip off prices!

Most fans care about 3 things: team, ground and prices. This season we're at risk of 0/3 unless DC works some magic again.

33% increase too. And you have to wait nearly 15 mins to be served in a friendly for it. This might make it sound worse.... I though a cuppa was £1.30... If it is now £2, that equates to a 50% increase.......

I Pay £4 a pint where I live now so its not a disaster. However, some sort of discount to ST holders would not have gone a miss. Show you season ticket card andget 10% in the bar on all food and drink - makes a good case for buying the season card initially and puts the prices firmly in the region of the competitors!

With such price increase and the loss of our best player, they have put massive pressure on themselves to come up with the goods in this transfer window in my eyes.

Most games kick off at 3pm. Have a decent lunch at home or somewhere else between 12-1, most humans then without an obesity problem should not need to eat until after the game has finished.
Therefore no need to pay £4 for a sausage roll

Always amazes me how people can't go 2 hours without food and drink.
Have watched rovers home and away for over 40 years and have only rarely bought anything in a ground.
Prices are usually high and product poor (except cottage pie at kiddiminster).
It's the same with any captive audience from the o2 to cinemas to legoland.
Plan ahead or pay up and shut up!
Don't even get me started on people aiding for the bar 15 minutes before half time!!

Don't you have a little one too Hugo? Imagine it is a nice hot day too (Don't laugh). Just let them struggle with thirst why not.

Just let them struggle with thirst why not. My lad is 10 now and cant go 20 mins without eating something!! I don't know where they put it all!! At the end of the day, it's a shame and just means I have to make a packed lunch before we leave the house. It's not the end of the world but Rovers will lose at least a tenner if not more in revenue from us each game now.

Therefore no need to pay £4 for a sausage roll I completely agree with you. However, without sounding condescending (forgive me if I come across this way, its not my intention), people usually don't eat lunch because they usually give money to the club to eat/drink at the ground. This gives the club revenue of course. But if increasing the price for food/drink at the ground put people off and they therefore follow your advice and eat lunch at home instead then the club will lose out on this revenue. The new bars are suppose to pay for themselves with extra footfall using them. But if people stay away due to prices then the club will lose out. So advising people to eat at home is logical to their complaints but really we want to think of a way to help the club make money by eating/drinking without price increases.

I'm not sure months ruling with that. It's not just the price increases though. It's the sh** service that goes with it. Like I say it too me 15 mins to be served in the queue yesterday by west terrace. Then you get to the front the of the queue and a couple of people in front of me wanted a Cornish pasty. The guy at the kiosk (with a "proper Cornish apron" on said sorry we don't have any, we only have cheese and onion". Then another lady wanted a pasty and was told they were out of stock of what she wanted, she asked when it would be ready and was told to come back in 10 minutes and it might be ready it might not. water poor I'm afraid.

Dont think this is a new thing under the current ownership. NH and co would use the fans for their 'own' needs when it suits. Will await the response/views from our elected representative and the SC on these changes. 😂
