Manchester United’s Price Confusion…
In a twist that’s curlier than Ronaldo’s free kicks, Manchester United’s concourse prices at Old Trafford have spun into a comical soap opera! A sneaky snap of the beverage price list made its way through the cyberspace, and fans were more puzzled than a cat in a cucumber field over £5.80 for a 500ml bottle of Carling. The club fessed up that the prices were the result of Socceraid’s decision from last month, leaving next season’s prices as mysterious as the Loch Ness monster.
Back in the golden days of August 2021, United fans traded tales of finding Carling at the holy grail price of £3 a bottle, and Madri lager seemed to be flowing as freely as tea at the Queen’s garden parties. Alas, those times seem as distant as an Old Trafford goal when Bruno Fernandes isn’t playing. Fans with the savvy of Sherlock Holmes trace back price creep with a last season’s ticket hike that caused quite the stir and more noise than a vuvuzela concert!
Fans donned their protest capes, and chants echoed through the streets, sending ticket prices spiraling faster than a Gareth Bale sprint. Sir Jim Ratcliffe poured fuel on the Glazers’ bonfire, speculating on whether Fulham should cost more to watch than Manchester United! Clearly, ticketing is more emotionally charged than a penalty shootout in a World Cup final. Buckle up, dear supporters; the saga of the beer bottle continues — to the pint and beyond!
