DD the pie man has his card reader connected to the Lockdown Bakehouse account, so the club would have no access to the records. Most of the outlets will also take cash so I don’t think we get a percentage. Nicander I do tend to agree that the ratio may not be 1:1 after having to buy food from the west stand concession yesterday. The only thing available was hot dogs and I have been using the bun today to knock nails in with. Also know someone who left at half time because he hadn’t eaten before the game then found out that as a non meat eater his only option was crisps and he was too hungry to stay.

Nick: I don't know numbers but I think we must be getting a % of the take. That's why the vans in the food park are part of our cashless payment system.

OI it was the same with Reeves last season he ran out of steam as did Tilley. Reeves red card was an unexpected bonus in some ways and hopefully opened our manager’s eyes to the fact that he is overplaying some of our players and needs to look at rotation next season. Although everyone wants the manager to pick the strongest team to compete in every game, maybe resting some key players will help us compete for all of next season. Last season the players were also saying that the condition of the pitch was making it more difficult to play towards the end of the winter which was taking its toll on their legs. They seemed to point at the wear and tear from having rugby on the surface. It is difficult for the groundsman to prepare a pitch in two different ways when you have different sports at the same venue, but we obviously need the Broncos money.

We should of done a contract with the Southall caterers from the game at Chalfont St Peter's

Nick - I don't think it's a clear 1:1 ratio for the food vans. If they weren't there, I wouldn't be buying a pie from the concourse, I'd be eating in Tooting.

People have short memories eh? Who is this Reeves anyway?

Catering and stadium management is not my area of expertise, but I do wonder if we shouldn’t be charging the food vans for their pitch on matchdays plus a percentage of sales? If the amount that I have been told (by someone who should know) that we charge for each food van is correct, then we must be missing out on a lot of money, when you take into account that we sell (or don’t sell) similar but inferior products in the club outlets and for every unit that the vans sell we most likely sell one less. I think the food in the fan zone/food park is brilliant but we should be profiting from our success in making the place happen.

It says on the OS write-up of Will's testimonial: "...with Will receiving a guard of honour both pre and post-game in what was our first testimonial match since Alan Cork’s in 1988." That's not right, because Simon Bassey had one at KM.

I’m guessing that the contract that we had with Elior was not very good for the club? When you see how busy the food outlets and bars are on matchdays you would expect us to have been making good money, which should have been helping with our shortfall. Elior didn’t seem to be very good at a lot of the basics either, from what I have heard from people who paid for corporate stuff.

Nick - it may go the other way and they have a different selection of beers to either the pub or rest of the ground.

As Aramark are taking the pub as part of their contract I’m assuming that they are going to put the same crap IMBEV beers in there as the rest of the ground and remove the alternative choice that we currently have. If that’s the case I won’t be having a beer in the stadium anymore.

Aramark an American company, will.our burgers be 10% more expensive?

Spit yes doubt if he can play every game.

Does anyone know if Aramark can play up-front?

People have short memories OI

Even I thought Reeves was impressive the last 4 games ,just a shame he was crap for quite a.few games before he got sent off. Obviously he can't play 2 games a week for a continuous amount of time ,so if we keep him then he needs regular rests

If the OS update means Aramark are replacing Elior, then: HOORAY!

After the last 7 games of the season is there anyone who really wants to do without Reeves?

49 - we just need Sammy Moore back too and we will never see a forward pass ever as long as we live… 🤪

Sounds like a good step with Aramark replacing our current catering and committing to invest “significant sums” in capex to improve the food and beverage offerings.

Nicander he is in the airport lounge at Gatwick at this moment waiting to fly off so I guess he won’t be signing for anyone today.

Goodness both Hartigan and Reeves in midfield , any forward passes?

Hartigan made National League Team of the Season. Good for him.

Looks like Barnet intent on keeping Hartigan.

Hartigan wouldn't be a bad signing actually
