its most likely he'd get an outside catering company in to run the catering and match day refreshments side of things and then they would take a share of the profits so not much of the £4 you pay for a pint of flat Carlsberg would end up back in the Dr's pockets anyway, but its a noble stance.
its the Conference facilities that's the money spinner, I know John Smiths had their national conference there a few months ago that must irk the Dr to see all that money going to the owners of the stadium.
