Catering items on 10:52 - Aug 18 with 1929 views | _clive_baker_ | Can't say I did but equally I can't actually remember the last time I bought any food or drink from the club. Much prefer to support the towns pubs pre and post match and never bother with a drink at half time. What's the damage for a pint now? |  | |  |

6.95 for a pint of Level Head, I think it was 6.10 last season. |  | |  |

I try really hard not to get anything in the ground but sometimes fail…yesterday was one of those days. A pie each and 1 JD and coke was £18.75. £7.50 for the JD, 330ml - even though I asked for a vodka coke but there we go, they’re £7, can get 4 in Tescos for that |  |

That's less than you will pay for a pint in Radlett or much of central London. |  |

Madness. The club has enough money these days, rather put my hard earned in to the pockets of local landlords and ladies tbh. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Doesn't it make more sense to buy a sausage roll in town & stuff it in your pocket, rather than buy overpriced, substandard food in a football ground (same with most sporting events)? |  |

Are you still allowed to take refreshments into the stadium? |  |

Unless the searching is very serious, I reckon you could get away with a sausage roll or pasty. |  |

I took two cups of coffee into the ground yesterday. The nice security person even held one of them while I took my glasses case out of my pocket to show him as it had pinged their electronic wand thing. Someone in the queue next to me had a tray of chips they were taking in. |  | |  |

A line on this would thankfully be very hard for the club to draw. If they got it wrong, we might well witness "Goody-bag Gate", in which young person buys said goody-bag near the corner of Sir Alf's Way and is searched and relieved of it twenty paces later at SBR turnstile, leading to outcry and sugar starvation. |  |

TBF I didn't think they were bad value last season and are actually very nice. Not worth £4.99 now though. |  | |  |

Annnd the view of the pitch is worse. (Well apart from those restricted view seats with the pillars...) |  | |  |

I can't see that the club would be all that bothered, though. It's probably very firmly on their radar that supporters can currently get water, crisps, popcorn, and a chocolate bar for less than the cost of a bottle of water in the ground. If they feel that they can move to a 'no outside food/drink' policy, no doubt they will. |  |

On the Visit Us section of the website, it actually states 'Please note that food purchased away from Portman Road will not be permitted in the ground.' I can't believe this is actually enforced, nor should it be. |  | |  |

Yes you can take food and drinks in. The bags that they sell outside the ground with the newspaper, water, crisps and chocolate are well worth getting. They were £2 last season. I didnt get one yesterday so not sure if theyve increased in price or not. |  | |  |

Still £2, which surprised me to see - I was fully expecting them to have gone up to £2.50/£3. I presume that Newsquest see them more as a way to massage their weekend circulation figures, rather than a direct money-maker. |  |
