FWIW I’m sure it would’ve been so small that it really wouldn’t have made much difference to the bigger picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The figure I saw and admittedly this was not recent, it would be difficult I suspect for anyone other than a related party to entertain. Comparable to a bottom half front of shirt.

Even if they went with an AP, they could get said AP to offer say £15m; the PL then adjust it to £5m, and if Man City win their case it gets backdated to £15m and corrected going forwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted August 19, 2025 Share Posted August 19, 2025 On 13/08/2025 at 12:55, HaydnNUFC said: I never go in Stack, place isn't my vibe at all nor was the one at the bottom of Northumberland Street when it was there. However its laughable, that. They want to have a look at their mad price rises in the last 3 years. Was a fiver or less for a pint at the end of 2022, now its well over 6 quid in most city centre pubs. Costs the same to drink in Newcastle as it does in the vast majority of London now. Tbf any local paying over £6 a pint in Newcastle has a screw loose. Lot's of Newcastle pubs like The Percy, Three Bulls, Rose & Crown, Hotspur, Clock, Beehive, Black Garter, Magpie, Canny Lad etc offer many pints for less than half that, and that's before you consider the Five Swans, Milecastle and other Wetherspoons offerings. If you want to ponce around Grey Street you'll find plenty of places who'll happily take £6 off you for a pint of ale that generally won't be as good as the aforementioned pubs in my experience but it doesn't have to be that way.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 19, 2025 Share Posted August 19, 2025 (edited) I paid £7.40 in Head of Steam on quayside, had no idea they reached those kind of prices. Just stopped in on my walk because it was sunny. Reminds me why I hardly drink. Edited August 19, 2025 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
