Could this be an own goal? Poachers are charging their customers £5 and giving them a pot roast included in the price. Wouldn't it be better to charge £5 for the pot roast and allow the public into a public house?

They have been charging on the door for the major football events for years. And to be fair the atmosphere is brilliant. I watched the Argentina game there during the last world cup, ok I paid a fiver to get in, but what a day!! |

I think the Greyhound were also charging.... ------------- I used to be with it. But then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems scary and weird. |

So if you pay to go into a pub, is there any requirement to purchase anything at the bar?

So you pay £5 to watch a game of football that's "free" to watch at home and you spend you're time at a crowded bar trying to get a drink!

Talking of drinking I see on the news that during the England and Paraguay game the English players was stopped by officials to having a drink on the side line where I noticed on a number of occasions that the Paraguay team didn't seem to have a problem getting some fluids in them during the game, do we stand a change this year if England are going to be singled out by the Referee/officials

| Some pubs in north london, there is a fee of £5 to get in and for that £5 you get a ticket and you can buy any thing from the bar, crisps, soft drinks beer etc for the value of £5 and reason for this is that a number of customers just come into the pub, take a seat and buy no drinks and remember pubs are a business. |

However, if my information is correct this was not the case in either
the Greyhound or the Poachers. They just charged you to get in and then
all drinks/snacks etc were the same price as normal.

As usual...... I was in the 3 pigeons, watching the game, with son no 2 and a couple of his friends, great atmosphere! And no charge! Except I bought lunch for all three of them!
