    That must be a 1000% mark up at least.

    I think I'd rather freeze than pay that price.

    Is that what it is?

    I'm assuming you mean the catering inside the stadium.

    I asked for a black coffee the other week, but apparently it's not possible. The whole thing (including milk) is pre-mixed in powdered form. I decided to pass.

    Nescafe .go pk10 £5.49 then add on the VAT @17.5%= £6.45 for 10.

    Therefore 64.5p each.

    75.5p Profit on each cup. Not bad business that! But, they have to pay wages for the staff, and pay the club to provide the service etc; but it still looks like they make a killing on providing refreshments.

    Wouldn't think it'd take much to have some white coffees and some black coffees would you.

    Why don't they have a vending machine behind the counter?

    Bottle of coke in garage on Ponty Road - 99p (including bottle top)
    Same item (minus top) in ground is about £1.50

    Both are paying staff, overheads etc
