AINTREE CATERING CHARGES

Hope they dont sell any

absolutely ridiculous

That is way too expensive. Price of the pint aint too bad considering they could charge a lot more. Might take a sandwich with me tomorrow.

thats what I thougt at first Amberleigh but things sposed to be cheaper up North I thought

Price of a pint aint too bad /£2.16 in my local

was at newmarket for 1000 previous year

end of day, i am a bit worse for wear so need substance to soak it all up...wandered over to dodgy looking burger bar, where they are closing up...

"burger please"

"£6.50 please" as she scooped the last remainer burger up and put in a stale bun...

"actually i will have some cheese on that"

in goes rank bit of roange cheese slice

"£7 please"..."do you want some onions"

"ok" i said in slur

"that will be £8 please" as she handed it to me

like a fool i paid, one bite..in the bin...i felt a proper mug as i slopped off

Im from up north and haven't seen prices like that before. Although it has been a couple of years since I last went to Aintree. Went to the 02 arena last year and it was £7 for a sandwich and £4 a pint!!!

plenty of time to spare today so heres a simple survey
FISH AND A DOZEN *****£6.70
5oz BEEFBURGER...........£5.70
CHEESEBURGER.............£6.70
PORK BAGUETTE............£7.95

Good value, i suppose for the burger's you would have to pay an extra £2 for the buns :^0

Racecourse probably demanding a fiver out of each one sold! Don't underestimate racecourses' greed.

probably right two above.....so much for Racing for Change...these people who think they know what they are doing, should stop ripping off paying public and start to chanrge things correctly and accordingly...their site is a joke and they really have no idea about the average punter / people to attract and costs to people attending...it would be nice to go to a track which has toilets that were not still in the 50's...they keep interviewing stake holders, trainers..owners and they dont give a flying *** about attracting new people into racing or what it is about...food is just the fringe..fascilities, commerce, marketing are just foriegn words to racing for change

Day light robbery

How much was a soup and bread?I bet it was £5.95

there was not a lot of trade going on at any of the catering vans today and even the bars were not busy but tomorrow the forcast temp will change that ,agree the food is a rip off ,need greggs in and a decent sandwich shop with some healthy choices would be good ,even motorway priced ones at that .come on aintree you have a lot of tatts customers in today .I refused to eat the overpriced muck on offer and stopped off on the way home to sit down to a decent meal for not more than a tenner .

Dont be mugs, half 11s macdonalds in liverpool ,off to track that should see ya through till your choice of resterant when you get back after racing, simples and cheap! ;-)

if that isnt enough you get bookmakers like gus oppenhien **ing the public on purpose,crowds are down at many places bookmakers like him are going to make things worse.

GO POINT TO POINTING £2 A PINT OF UNDER THE COUNTER CIDER ,4 OF THEM AND ITS TIME TO SIT DOWN

good morning raz,not sure yet getting sick of watching bookmakers ripping the public off.the worst thing about it is nobody will do anything about it.

once asked a bloke who sold coffee at the races , he told me that 33% of his TAKE went to the racecourse...not his profit . This I understand has risen to 50% at certain tracks ....Doncaster one of them I believe, no reason not to believe him as he was someone who I trusted (since got chucked off for undercutting the races!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

car pal

no worse than if you go to Wembley etc, but thats not the point..racing needs to sell itself..other sports are thriving and dont need to try too hard
