Another new low

[DBTW]

Last night I paid to get in the Holte Suite pre game and had a few drinks with friends.

As is now the norm for us, we returned at half time for a quick pint. When I ordered my beer, the price had increased 20p from before the game.

When I asked the lady serving me why, she said that they are told to add 20p on to the price of every pint served during the half time break.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I am absolutely disgusted the way the club can use this to exploit the fans who have made the effort to support the club. I know it's only 20p, but the principle and the way it is done is unforgivable.

This club used to care about the fans. Things like this tell me that they don't care as much these days.

I think they're onto a winner. They probably know by half time the fans will be in dire need of a drink and will probably pay it. It's probably that 20p extra per half time pint that's paying for Lamberks contract.

Don't be surprised by anything anymore.

Small club mentality!

[TimTheVillain]

They added 'lamp tax' I reckon ...

[mr underhill]

as this turgid dross continues to do the Lambert Walk to oblivion,home games will soon be played behind empty doors, so grabbing the odd 20p here and there on a pint  is  an understandable, if unacceptable, marketing strategy.

They have been told to add on 20p every time we score so at least last night was a one off.

Great stuff, nice to hear that isn't it. I keep on saying the club is no longer recognisable from the one I used to support so passionately. It probably paid for that nice 140 years old video which glosses politely over all the shit or you can think of it as paying for some of the incredible haircuts we saw on display last night. Mind you, Southampton would be in the Champions League if was based on them alone

Boom tish, excellent!

Seems to me that having run out of sticks to be at the club with people are now resorting to twigs. The inevitable Richard Moore contribution confirms as much.

I enjoy Richard's Lambert rants, bettered only when he goes off on one about Chelsea.

[Clampy]

The extra charge does sound a bit unnecessary. I still don't understand why people can't go an hour and a half without having a beer though.

And anyway, what the fuck has the 140 year video got to do with it?

I thought the crowd at Villa Park last night all looked exceptionally young? It was like one of those women's internationals where they invite loads of screaming kids along to make up the numbers. I shouldn't have thought they needed any sticks in that case, or were they to beat them with?

Jeez, you are a brave man saying that on here, I have less supporters on H and V than Weimann has brain cells in his head. Mr Lambert is a very nice man anyway, he's just a shit football manager.
