Re: New food/drink rules at the Turf
No point moaning about price. Nobody pay it and the price will drop, but enough will keep paying so they'll try at £7 next, that's just how it is.

Never had a problem at the Turf, a few away games which were obviously 'learning experiences' for my kids.

Before my time, but for anyone bemoaning how the 'games gone soft'.. yes it undoubtedly has, but you also get to see players like Frank Casper playing into their 30s rather than ruined in their prime.
