Re: New Rip Off Plastic Beer Mugs
Beer is supposed to be served with a head on it, the head is not part of the pint therefore the new cups are not holding a full pint. These new stacker cups are inferior to the ones used in recent seasons and being cheaper plastic the chemical reaction with the beer reduces its taste and flavour.

I seem to remember there being some kind of scuffle on the terracing v Sarries about eight years ago when they bussed random punters up from Watford.Scuttle wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 6:19 pmNow I did once . Well more off a scuffly handbags. It was when we were playing a Welsh team in the last few years. It was outside the toilets and did involve a Welsh fan and somebody else unknown. Maybe he was just going for a leekCitizenSmiff wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 4:41 pmWell that's not great, surely with cashless payment the bar staff should have loads of time on their hands to pour as many pints as I ask for? And it's not like rowdiness is much of an issue, been going to WR for 15 years and i've never seen a single fight.watsonjm wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 10:03 am While we're talking about the bars.... i was refused drinks on Saturday because I was buying a round of 6 drinks. Apparently there is a limit of 4 per person this year.
Why provide cups that can be stacked then not allow you to buy a round of more than 4 drinks!
Re: New Rip Off Plastic Beer Mugs
Years ago CAMRA tried to make it law that pubs had to use oversize pint glasses with a marked measure but the industry fought it and won - so most pubs still have brim measure glasses. So Tigers fans can thank themselves lucky they had a couple of years of measure plastic pots!
That said I largely avoid buying food or drink at the majority of sporting and concert venues these days. It's either inferior product, price or service. Sometime all three!

If the rule is the same as other stadia, it is 4 alcoholic drinks per person, its an attempt to prevent binge drinkingstrawclearer wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 4:26 pmSo when I go to the bar for myself, my 3 kids and 2 of their partners.........they're going to refuse to serve me???watsonjm wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 10:03 am While we're talking about the bars.... i was refused drinks on Saturday because I was buying a round of 6 drinks.

Re: New Rip Off Plastic Beer Mugs
How on earth can bar staff be expected to limit beer consumption when we have several public bars and many payment points. These days I steer well clear of large rounds but if I were to be involved in such it is no-ones business but my own, of course now we are cashless it maybe that there is a problem processing a payment above a certain amount. We should be told if that is the case.

My younger Daughter went to see the American Football last Sunday, at the new Tottenham football stadium, Hot Dog cost £9.95, Pint cost £8, should we consider ourselves lucky?

.......and presumably that was for a small bottle of chemical fizz?

Re: New Rip Off Plastic Beer Mugs
a pint of rubbish domestic stuff for $9, but $11-$12 got you something good, from a small local brewery usually.
Re: New Rip Off Plastic Beer Mugs
Sorry, but you're wrong. The head does count as part of the pint - generally it is considered acceptable for up to 5% of the pint to be head.johnthegriff wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 12:03 pm Beer is supposed to be served with a head on it, the head is not part of the pint therefore the new cups are not holding a full pint.
