Asking for help - Southampton FC food & beverage prices for the season

Dear Saints fans,

My name is Patrick and I'm a university student, currently working on my thesis, where I analyze the cost of football for fans in the Premier League and how it changed in the last 5 years. As part of my research, I'm also collecting food & beverage prices from the current season in the following categories:

Pint of beer (cheapest category)
Pint of cider (cheapest category)
Mineral water (0,5 l)
Soft drink (0,5 l)
Tea
Pie
Hot food - burger or hot dog
Crisps (one bag)

I have contacted the clubs themselves and while I received some answers, unfortunately Southampton was not one of them. It would be much appreciated if you could help.

Kind regards,

Patrick

 

There was a young student named Pat
He liked to ask, "How much is that?"
But when his thesis
Was ripped to pieces
He had to work in a McDonald's hat

 

I love it, cynical, poetic and educational all in one tidy package

 

there was a young student named Pat
Whose request for some info fell flat
He was left with some bruising
After comments by Susan
made clear what he thought about that

 

Sorry Pat, from this and the similar threads you have posted on other boards it doesn’t look like fans are very forthcoming. @Red Hadron Collider from the Liverpool board probably summed things up when he said he never buys food and drink at the ground as it’s too expensive.

My best suggestion is that you actually take the trouble to visit 2 or 3 Premier League grounds yourself in order to carry out this research, rather than doing it “on the cheap”.

 

He'd have been better off doing one on var. Bound to be someone on here with plenty to say about that.

 

@brb

please may you move this to the PL board

Not sure why there are any negative replies to this. Strange to suggest he should pay for transport and a match ticket to find out how much a pint costs!

I only ever buy beer at the ground and you are looking at £4.5/£5 for a pint, same with cider I believe. Food is usually about £4 minimum as well - i think a quid for a bag of crisps.

Good luck with your thesis Patrick

 

It's all just a bit of a laugh
So I'll answer on young Pat's behalf,
"This banter is sick
And I love a limerick
So wind your neck in you bloody giraffe!"

 

I have never been able to rhyme,
But i feel its worth a punt,
I'll keep this short as I have no time,
So instead ill just call you a..

Couldn't think of how to finish it, any ideas?

 

My friend don't be angered by wit
For this rhyming lark you are unfit
Don't call me a name
Its all just a game
And a fun one you have to admit

 

Sorry mate the saints fans don’t feel in the mood to help it would seem. Suggest going to games to find out.
