i notice that at the munster game the prices of food has gone up by a considerable amount please keep the prices as they were last year, as it is a family club it is going to a cost a fortune this year. it would not be bad if they gave you a decent portion of food. is this greed by the club.

The food putlets are franchises I think. Not operated by the club.

At our horsey events we have a barbecue and sell freshly cooked quarter pound burgers at £2, and hot dogs (proper Lincolnshire pork sausages) at £2, including fried onions if you want 'em.
We also sell tea & coffee at 50p.
There is plenty of profit in that, and in my opinion, charging more can only be justified if they are having to pay some horrendous rental charge for their spot.
And it IS possible that they are.
Kicks and scrums and ruck and roll.....Is all my brain and body need!

I would not be surprised if Tigers had not put the rents or franchises up. The club clearly needs to get in as much money as possible....as does every club....
I THINK THE ANSWER IS "VOTE WITH YOUR FEET"IF YOU DON'T BUY ANYTHING I'M SURE THE PRICES WILL COME DOWN.....I MUST AGREE THE QUALITY OF FOOD OUTLETS AT WELFORD ROAD IS POOR AND OVERPRICED....COULD SOMETHING BE DONE I ASK!!!!
As I usually sit in the Cat stand, I was moved to the Crumbie for the Munster game and the Chicken curry in the ABC bar was great. I would rather spend a little more and get something that tastes good than fork out 3.50 GBP for a burger that was cooked hours before and is devoid of flavour and moisture. The curry and rice was 5.50 GBP, had loads of chicken and, for me, was better value.
Yeah the curry in the ABC bar is good. Don't normally have anything to eat at the games, but due to the evening kick off for the Munster game thats what we had.
Were the prices up at the Munster game due to it being a BBQ and not the normal burger vans?
Oh and I was at a sporting event at the weekend where it cost over £5 for a chesse salad sandwhich. So maybe £3.50 for a burger is not that bad in comparison!!

They do a good chicken curry over the road at the 'Kwik-Bite' Cafe £3.00 good baguettes etc and there is always the chippy next door too. Stopped buying food in WR last season as prices went up and content went down - ripoff city!!
The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach
Ouside the ground there are plenty of good pubs serving excellent beer and reasonably priced food outlets . If the Club have increased the franchise rentals I suspect that fans will vote with their feet . Quality and value for money was poor last year .

Will just one exclamation mark suffice?
Won't be using the Drogs again - utter chaos at the Munster game, the girls from the Members Bar next door had to come in and give a hand. God knows what it will be like at a full-house home game?
