but some clubs and supporters are to blame for this...who wants to hang around after a game and give money to a club that their supporters have carried on an abused players thoughout a game...this happened to us on an away game an when we decided to leave after the match we got abused some more...and then the expected us to come back an have a drink like nothing has happened...yeah right

never seen an away club sell beers though

Is that right?? Gee I would have thought "most supporters" do the right thing and support the club they visit.

Thats disappointing news - which club did this?

No shite here mate, you cant help if SOME supporters are tight asses, the clubs arnt the ones bringing the eskies its two or three people who do, and they even do it at home games!

must say the bbq did start but rather late,need to sort this out its hard getting someone to get it fired up.and yes paying any type of cash for draught is rough if you ask me.but overall over a $1000 taken over the bar was a good day even if eskies were there,

and i know its a long shot but if your camera man picks up any bags beeing stolen can you let us know the lads bags were near our changing rooms.

and may i warn other teams to keep there bags with there crowds or we can lock them in the changing rooms for them.hopefully we can find out who is stealing from the club.

bulldog remember we had a problem a few years ago at training and we caught the offender. could the same be happening again? i think the scenario was a quick visit the changerooms to use a ventolin and a quick rifle through the bags.

There was a strange guy flying a kite during the game. Odds on it was him.

Bringing your own beer is disrespectful to the home club. Worse if you sell it toi own supporters. I have seen it happen many times in the last 23 years of playing amateurs but I will NOT name the clubs on this forum. If punters are bringing their own stuff, at least put the empties in the bin!

That said, there are other factors. Some clubs sell beer taht punters do noit like and/or at ridiculous prices. Bottom line...there is no black/white answer. Home clubs should offer reasonable prices.

El Salvador visited our ground today, they didn't use the bar at all. Then after the game they sat out side our club room drinking out of eskies for another two hours.

I'm not sure West End Draught could be classed as beer

And $4 for a blowie? Will she "love me long time"

whats wrong with bringing your own esky? with the distance you travel to away matches and cost of petrol, i wouldnt want to be paying inflated beer prices at away games

Think it has been said before.. clubs that charge more than $3.50 have noone to blame but themselves..

West End draft - $4.. nasty

West Beach drank us out of Pale Ales on the weekend, well done lads.
