The beer is overpriced muck and not being able to smoke even in open air areas. Are the club trying to cut their matchday income? (i'm a non-smoker by the way)
Had to get a pint changed last game, no arguments but it was still crap!!
Better then it being constantly topped up in the rain though!!
Looking forward to a nice cold bottle......

johns smiths is muck, but according to Suze only me n a couple of others want good beer...
Suze said: not sure that's true. I don't think I said that although when I asked for issues to be raised I get asked the same questions.
Hopefully soon the FF will do some kind of market reasearch to find out what everyone wants.
Real ale is a no go due to expiry dates although what about real ale from plastic bottles? Is there such a thing?"
I think something like Pride would do and that has quite a long shelf life, plastic is a good question. Its a shame we can't do some sort of link up with the Meantime brewery down the road.
Also as you possibly suggested market research might be a good idea.
filtered bottled ales have a much longer shelf life, the trick in my view would be to find a source who would bottle both something like this and a lager in plastic, which would allow fast service and self pouring.
I think its worth doing as you would if successful hugely up the bar take at the Valley, but as I said elsewhere its all about the whole experience. Speed, quality and price.
Beer only queues, with correct change only perhaps, with pre pouring of whatever substances currently available although not ideal would be a very good starting point, and could be done right away with no issue.

Razil, that meantime beer is one of my favourites. If they served that up at the valley i would be a very happy addick!
Think there were a few people feeling the effects of the Bulmers.
One bloke in the U.N was well lagging. When he tried to start a rendition of V.F.R, he got they key wrong and ended up singing it in Soprano!! Hahaha!!
I have a conspiracy theory of sorts. Funny how the Valley have decided to start selling bottles in the run up to the Millwall game when every pub in SE7 will be forced to close. I presume on the 19th of December the only place you'll be able to get a drink will be in the ground. They'll absolutely rake it in.

Spot on, great stuff. I’d probably stop going in the Con Club and drink at the ground instead if they sold Meantime
I hope they took the lids off the bottles. In the wrong hands these can become extremely dangerous missiles. Coins / seats / burgers from that 1950s wheelbarrow opposite the North Stand, on the other hand, are quite harmless objects.
Went out in Shoreditch last night and they sold Meantime pale ale in The Light on Bishopsgate and pilsner in some pub at the top of Commercial Road. The word is spreading !

As i walked away with it i realised they were now selling bottles. Any better? Cold?
£2.95 for 330ml by the way.

That way there should be minimal wastage, no need for additional pumps, etc. Could be done on a trial basis with no risk, would be great.

Lot of people didn't realise they were selling bottles i think, i was asked a couple of times if had sneaked them in.

Coincidence?
