Just my personal opinion, but to do so would be damaging to both of the above.  Get a sandwich at the services and take it in, take a flask, smuggle in a can or something.

Spend no money in there, stay out of the social but get behind the lads.

No point punishing the team and the coach subsidy.......it's cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I know nearly everyone will feel aggrieved by this, but as Ecky says nobody buy a programme, a drink or food. Bit of solidarity needed. Maybe the bus could stop at a roadside truck stop......there's usually a few on that bypass ?
A few anti Ladak chants of 'we've not bought a pie you thievin ba****d' would not go amiss

You both make a good point actually...

I may just bite the bullet and pay the extra (and sit their and not smoke for 90 mins)

I love the lyrics to your song  . Oasis are looking for a new song writer  ;) :D

Agreed boycotting attending the match would be cutting off our noses to spite our faces.
Man U fans had a similar gripe at Fulham a couple of seasons ago when they charged £45 when the match with City was £25 and Wigan £15. United fans boycotted buying things such as programmes, burger vans, rafflle tckets, drinks ect..
I suggest we do the same by boycotting all of these and also dont go in their club bar but a local pub instead. Take your own butties. Dont buy anything at all at the ground.
However to get the message accross it will be necessary to make our opinions verbally known to the turnstyles operators, and burger van staff who might get the message if they dont make any sales in the away stand.
