ive been in the box for the pie & pint games 3 times i think, with 5 mates each time. we got there for the 12:45 ko, had 3/4 pints before latics at about £3.50 a pint, our free pint at half time, then a couple more after and watched the 5:15 ko after a couples of times. so thats around £42 from the 6 of us per game.
im sure if there were a main bar or other bar facilties around the ground then plenty of fans would go meet there and watch sky. other teams have so must be worth their while. rochale have a good bar on site
