Can't gauruntee if we don't do well this season the board will hear voices, which really is out frustration on all the things that matter to the fans that don't seem to be going anywhere. I think that's probably true. A lot of the people moaning are really just displacing their anger and frustration at our lack of off field activities. I bet if we had announced either the Colony or unveiled a decent signing then no one would complain about price hikes for pasties. As it is, we carry on being kept in the dark with little hope that anything positive is round the corner. That is exactly it Hugo. It is a build up of frustrations regarding a few different matters.

Interestingly a bloke in the West enclosure was moaning about paying £4 for a pint in clubhouse bar & a chap in front turned around and said your lucky I just payed £4.50 for a pint in the wellie. Sometimes it puts things into perspective & perhaps the price s justified. But I do believe the club needs to look at its food & soft drink priceing as the increase from last season does seem abit extortionate,especially as it used by supporters with kids. Agree the beer price is comparable, but the soft drink and food prices are OTT. Would be nice to get some clarification on whether BRFC are running the kiosks, or they are an outside company paying to operate. If the latter i guess their pricing is dependant on what BRFC are charging them Does anyone know if we still have a supporters representative on the board , because this is the sort of issue that needs bringing up. I remember contacting Brian Semour Smith in the past about various issues but I know he has resigned.

Normally when you give money to charity you get a sticker or a poppy, at Rovers you get a sausage roll!

The 'supporters representatives' (stop laughing at the back!) are as much use as a chocolate tea pot.

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 I don't eat at the ground but it's annoyed me. It's the principle of the club starting to treat us like customers instead of fans. We are customers BRFC is a business

Really, if you stop & think about it, £4 for a takeaway sausage roll, pre wrapped in a paper bag, sold from a cart after waiting ten mins queuing in the pouring rain. For that price I would want it made to order,brought to my table on a plate, with a side salad & knife 'n fork & a napkin! £4 - Jeez, glad I don't eat 'em 😀

Clarks Pie on match days Pirate, goodness knows what we would charge for those, although if all the profit goes into DC's transfer fund then I might switch.

In West enclosure season tickets for OAP's are up from £128 to £160!!! That's £3 a week. Doubt if pensions have gone up that much, and lets face it, gas, leccy and food have gone up

Therefore no need to pay £4 for a sausage roll Surely anyone with an obesity problem should not eat sausage rolls - end of? Anybody with a drink problem should not drink beer either...........

The simple fact is, if you think its to expensive, fine , don't buy them and the club will soon understand that the price is set to high. Its called supply & Demand
But going by the lines waiting for food on Saturday, people are happy to pay

Hard to argue with that about the price of a pint.

Yeah funny how he has got a clever answer for alcoholic beverages yet can't seem to apply the same logic to the tea and pastry situation. Good luck to him finding somewhere else in the area offering sausage rolls for over £4!
