Well said that man. My comparison with the night club was nothing to do with the bloody stand setting on fire it was to do with the ability of people and the emergency services having the ability to move in or out of the stand.

| Quote Topcat13="Topcat13"Ran out of BEER!
Beer and a game of rugby go hand in hand for me.
We need the £ and to lose the revenue from beer sales at our most profitable home fixture is laughable!
We were expecting a 5 figure crowd all week?
So who ever orders the beer should be disciplined!
Opportunity missed!
Will just have to sell more ST!!
On the matter of H+S?
The location of the beer sheds for home supporters is an issue!
Located high at the back of north stand with no way to que and getting in other people's way.
The burger bar by Doncaster road turnstiles causes a bottle neck on a thoroughfare making accessing the male toilets difficult. And the steps down to the east pen dangerous!'"
You do know the ordering of beer and the wet sales no longer comes into the club as revenue? It's outsourced to a 3rd party

We get a set amount per month. So actual amounts sold doesnt alter that. However I do acknowledge that poor service has knock on effects

| Surely we get a percentage of the value of any additional sales over a set level? If we don't then it's a terrible deal

| How much a month is the deal worth?
No where near what can be generated by keeping it in house?
IMO
Its one of the few revenue streams we have.
That's giving it away for me!

| Whatever the deal is, it will be worse than selling your own, however a regular annual income up front or a monthly income could be more useful to the club when we go a long time without a meaningful home game and no or little food and beverage income.
I would say it comes at some cost.

I'm not revealing that on here.
But we negotiated a sum based on what we had sold in previous seasons so that it was guaranteed. We probably lost out on last nights game but bear in mind that it was originally going to be on a cold day in spring. I doubt sales would have been very high that day.
Damned if we do. Damned if we don't.

| Seems like the club made a sensible decision and without knowing the figures it would be stupid to make assumptions. There will be other days it'll be beneficial but we won't have people crowing about it on here. We're very much a glass empty set of fans again it seems!

| We now play in front of 10k not 5k
It's 100% profit for the club with little overheads staff/supplies.
The mark up on the bottom line makes it worthwhile.
Did the 3rd party supplie the sheds/containers?
Are we charging rent??
Do we take a % of total sales???
Or is it a set price a month????
A glass was about all you could your hands on last night!
Plastic of course

| Does this mean we don't control how they chose to sell it and who to, but are ultimately responsible for the fallout?

Interesting and based on your understanding of the contracting out of our food and beverages outlets and knowledge of the value of said deal, would you care to elaborate?
