I doubt the club can do anything about that. Quins RU franchise out the catering for events at the stadium. I strongly suspect any tenants will be bound by that deal as part of renting the ground.

| So Lister you've never seen any kids and parents walkaway from the Kiosk after been seeing the price of the chips or burgers or heard their comments?
Your match day experience may involve a couple of beers, kids look forward to a bit of junk food, it is out of their price range. Alcohol in relative terms is cheap within the ground, unless you compare it with Lloyds in Twickenham.
Halfdan understand that, hence my last sentence, it needs renegotiating.

Such franchise deals usually grant exclusivity for sales at all events at the location. As such it's highly unlikely to be something the club can renegotiate. The only way out of any existing deal is likely to involve paying compensation to the franchise holder which rather defeats the point of doing it as we'd have to recoup that money from the new food provider, with an obvious impact on to their pricing structure.
Must admit it is a shame the catering is seen as quite such a cash cow. Whilst I hardly ever eat at the game I've often heard away fans moaning and I do feel sorry for those with a family to feed who leave food after a long journey south to eating in the ground. That's sports grounds for you though, I certainly won't be eating at Wembley next weekend either.

| Yeah no working class football fans ever go to Premier League games or Wembley cos the chips and burgers are overpriced!! Get a grip!! That is not the reason. A poor team and an unfashionable club are the reason. In fact its an unfashionable club, playing an unfashionable sport with a poor team in someone elses stadium. The reality is franchises are not made of this! We need serious business backing and some better RL PR from the RFL. All the little things everyone moans about on here make very little difference.

| Some posters obviously do not have or do not take their kids out.
Having been to all the PL and Championship grounds bar 1, I have never seen prices that mirror those of the SToop. Wembley is another case, I refuse to buy anything other than my match tickets.

This is the South East you balloon, everything is more expensive. Prices for beer, food etc at the ground are standard. All football and RU grounds are the same.
I had Sausage+Chips+Gravy at a chip shop near Old Trafford and it cost me £5. Explain that one.

'"
fifteen quid for an adult ticket, fiver for a kids, say 12 quid on 4 pints, fiver for 2 cokes, 12 for 2 burgers and chips
1 Adult, 2 kids = change out of 60 quid.
I bought my nephew a ticket to stamford bridge for his birthday.......94 notes.
Get a grip.
As for your kids look forward to a bit of junk food, , I would put that down to alot of things, but least of all The Stoop or The Club.

| Quote Riverside Red="Riverside Red"The failed brand is a Super League Club in London, regardless of name, owners or ground.
The sport is alive and well at a grassroots level, but the majority of those playing it are not interested in watching it, especially the kids.
It has been very noticeable, the number of kids that were involved in the match day events, heading away from the Stoop rather than into it as kickoff approaches, despite having free tickets, and those that do stay bale out before the end of the game.
The club need to carry out a survey of the kids for the reasons. One of which will be the cost of chips, and soft drinks. The prices maybe okay for the average middle class RU fan, but not the working class kids that play RL. This is one area that should be renegotiated in the Stadium lease.'"
It is not the kids fault, the parents who bring them don't want to stay. I am sure th kids do but the parent who brings them and their mates leave and that's that.
