and you are?

We have simply just stoped drinking there the council can justify it all they want I wont pay them silly prices.

Simple economics will sort this out.

The market will return to equilibrium. Simple question of supply and demand. If no-one buys the £1.90 oxo drinks and other "expensive" products then either prices will come down or EMC will leave the market to be replaced by someone else who will sell for cheaper. I guess if EMC are still here next year then people are willingly buying the products and Gavin Bootler's statement is incorrect.

that councillor no so bright when says price must be ok cos same at other grounds. yes councillor and fans at other grounds complain as well

Good post.

Its more compicated than you think littlerich. What they make from the food kiosks on a matchday is only a small portion of the EMC income. EMC's aim is to have income 365 days a year so the 40 or so sporting matchdays when the kiosks are open is of no huge significance.

Councillor Metcalfe was spot on when he said "there was a difference between corporate guests and ordinary fans paying from their own pocket, which was not recognised."

Firms should always aim to maximise profits. 40 days worth of matchday revenue WILL be of significance. If their prices don't bring in the sales, they WILL reduce them. If they do bring in the sales they WON'T reduce them. It IS that simple.

I never said otherwise.



There wont be a boycott so they will always have sales. 1 out of 4 entering the ground may have bought something, that may now be 1 out of 5. They dont care as long as they make money but that is not the argument here. Its about having fair and realistic pricing for supporters.

Market forces Bubba. Did you never take on board what the great lady said in the eighties?

I didnt listen to much my mother said when I was so young.

Mark? Is that you?

No, its Carol.

Carol: No mum he's got lost again

Anyway - good luck with the campaign. Bit of bad press towards EMC might go hand in hand with economic theory.

NO!

I own EMC and was looking to increase prices to £2!

I don't know the exact details,but the prices of all the refreshments have gone up astronomically.
I reckon that with just myself and the five or six that come with me to home matches that would be a loss of approximately £40 at every home match.
Its the 3 Pigeons til kick off now and we're bringing flasks and sandwiches.
Some of us are on the dole you know...a cup of tea up to nearly £2 a go.....do the plastic cups have a gold rims on them??
I don't like moaning after the recent carry on,but pull your finger out Fax;I don't hike my prices like this,nor would I ever,it's not business sense.

Pretty simple - if you don't like the prices, don't buy anything!

that is too simple.

The burger van has had to match EMCs prices for like products, therefore their Oxo is £1.90 like EMCs.

However........the burger van has started selling Bovril, which EMC don't, so still managing to charge 90p!

Bovril from the van it is then!!!

They've switched from Oxo to Bovril at the LSV so they're not necessarily a step ahead if they do likewise at the Shay. Cheers for the tip though, presume a similar thing applies to chips as EMC don't tend to do them?

Eureka! If EMC sell "hamburgers" the van should sell "beefburgers".

Subsequently:

chips = fries
hotdog = frankfurter sandwich
pork pie = pig en croute
Wine gums = Bostik du vin

etc., etc

Further culinary translations anyone?

Wine flavoured blu tac?

Glue (bostik) = gum

Work with me here. Bloody pedant!
