The Scunthorpe Game

[The Jolly Sailor]

Hi Guys,


Just to let you know The Jolly Sailor at Gunness has now reopened, so if you fancy a pint before the game in a couple of weeks why not call in, the pub is run by Donny people and is a five minute walk from Althorpe Station

[Filo]

I know the new landlord at this place, decent bloke and cheap beer

[The Jolly Sailor]

Just looking to give this a bump guys, cheers

[Filo]

The owner of this place has asked me to give this a bump

[the vicar]

But there is not a station anywhere near the ground is there so difficult to get to the stadium

[roversam]

You're right vicar but you can still call for a pint if you're in the car the jolly sailor is only about 5 mins from ground by car..

[Donnywolf]

... or get off at Althorpe as the op suggests then a 5 Min walk to Jolly Sailor

After a pint or two yomp along Gunness Straight and watch us regain the full "bragging rights"

It is 2 miles from Althorpe Station and 2.1 miles for Scunny Main Station so a bit shorter and Jolly Sailor on way from Althorpe - roght on 90 degree bend below Gunness village on map

If I remeber right, they have a Cask beer that might interest you, Doombar?

[drfchound]

Doombar on draught is a nice pint.

[normal rules]

is it pay on the night?

[normal rules]

the game, not the beer

[donnievic]

No don’t think so

[Filo]

Right, I got the prices for you at this pub.

The Doombar Beer, he's stopped doing, so theres no cask beer.


John Smiths Smooth £2.70
Carling £2.70
Strongbow £2.70
Coors £2.90
Guiness £3.00
Strongbow Dark Fruits £3.20
Carling Premier £3.20

[roversam]

Thanks for that Filo, decent prices them we'll definitely be calling for a few prematch bevvies 😊

[Rovers Return]

Just announced pay on the night

[MEGA1879]

Must be low ticket sales to do that🤔

[IDM]

not necessarily..

"UPDATE 21/1/18

With Rovers close to selling out an increased allocation, the home club will now put on a cash turnstile allowing travelling supporters to pay on the gate, but there is a £3 increase in matchday prices.

Once Rovers' allocation is sold out, supporters wishing to avoid the increase in price are advised to call Scunthorpe United directly on 01724 747670."

It's where I'm going if I can't get any nearer, then again he is my boss 😀😀😀😀

[anne honemous]

£26 to pay on the night, local derby or not that's bloody expensive for our level!

[RedJ]

That's dearer than or at least on par with I'd say a fair few Championship clubs, I'd guess. With much better grounds.

[Donnywolf]

Aye imagine getting the Seats round those bloody girders !

There could be a worse view though - Imagine being on the Standing Terrace at the other end every fortnight uuuuuuggghh !

[RedJ]

I wouldn't mind standing on the terrace - just not at £26 a pop.

[anne honemous]

Cheaper.

Bolton was £35 a few weeks back, Blades are £30 on the Kop, Leeds is £39 in the East Stand to name just a few.

Scandalous.

Clubs in our league now are charging what Championship clubs were more or less charging 10 years ago. If it keeps going the same way, it'll be £30+ in League One in 10 years from now.

[RedJ]

That is a disgrace. I know it's been a few years since we were in that division but West Ham (discounting Leeds, who charge ridiculous prices anyway) were the most expensive ticket I bought at that level for £32.

It's insane to think that an away ticket in the Premier League is cheaper than going to a shithole like Glanford Park!

[drfchound]

Wasn’t Sheffield Weds about £34.

[andysly]

First season in championship, away at Ipswich. Ticket price £27.50; walk up price £30.50.
I remember being most irritated by the 50p meaning I was chucking 2 x £20 notes over the counter.
The 3-1 win softened the blow.

I remember that silly price, I’m sure we played there after that and it was £35 as well.
