London Stadium caterers Delaware North will be running an early bird promotion to encourage fans to get to the ground early tomorrow night before West Ham face Chelsea in the EFL cup.
Stadium doors open at 6.15pm tomorrow night, a full two hours before kick off and draft beer will be on special offer at £3.50 per pint for the first half hour before prices return to the standard £4.60 per pint one hour before kick off and throughout the match.
Hot drinks will be also be discounted to £2.20 for the first hour and half a pint of draft beer will cost £1.80 during the happy hour.
ClaretandHugh understand that Stratford police have asked pubs to voluntary shut at 6pm to encourage supporters to get to the ground early to avoid lengthy queues as 100% body search is planned for the 45,000 plus crowd attending the London Derby .
It’s been like this at every match, nothing to do with Wednesday specifically
The offer has been the same yes, except on those European nights when once I got there early only to find no alcohol being served… shutting the pubs and bars outside has not been the same though.
So there is an outside the stadium ban on alcohol but you can get smashed inside 🙂 What is the point in the Police asking pubs to stop serving alcohol to avoid alcohol related flashpoints if you can get it inside the stadium, I am sure all the pubs are delighted about that. Don’t get me wrong I will look forward to having a pint or two but it seems an odd strategy doesn’t it ?
what about the pies ???????
