    2 adults and 1 child £23:60 just to get in a further £17 at Burger King plus £20 for Pop, Sweets and the 3d glasses.


    A day session on the ale would have been cheaper

    Eat before you go, take your own sweets/drinks, knocks at least 50% off the total. Thats the way we always did it as a family. That way we were able to go fairly regularly.

    If you go on chronicle website there's cinema buy one get one free vouchers for parkway cinema in town!

    Some decent discount vouchers on there for local Indians like dil raj, mahal and royal spice

    I think the comparison was against football, and for the about the same length of time of entertainment, its a lot cheaper . . . .

    It is a rip off

    When I go with r lass, I take a bottle of pop from Jack Fultons (3 for £1), she takes a bottle of water and some chocolate or sumat, and we go wednesdays to make use of the 'Orange Wednesdays' promotion, if we go for a meal or sumat it might cost us £30, and even then, it's still a decent chunk out of my weekly wage at the moment.

    Re: It is a rip off

    It's a bit unfair to include your meal at BK in the cost.

    The comparison is 2 adults and a child to get in = £23.60 versus 2 adults and a child in Oakwell which would be over £50.
