Marketing mess.

Why don't we sell proper chip butties inside the Lane?
And as an aside, how much would you pay for one, with a lovely well kept pint of maggots?

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Because we have quality small hotdogs and burnt pies and sausage rolls at great prices what more to like

 

[Foxy]

Because only some of the stands have the facilities, so we do what I assume are very average ones on limited availability

 

[bongleblade]

I do think this is where football clubs could do better on the whole... why don't top tier clubs partner with local companies more? Why is it always so corporate? Imagine tucking into a beres at half time

Because of the wider contractual rights. It's stuff we raised and discussed in meetings many years ago, but mostly came down to that... It seems some concessions to this have been made on the footprint, with the Fan Zone.

Trusting hot chip fat with them retards ground would be

 

[knowsnowt]

Wouldn't touch beres with Uncle Susan's nob.

 

[Grizzly blade]

How hard really is this to get right?

A small investment on a decent frier…lots of pre buttered rolls and a shit tonne of chippy chips cooked in dripping/lard.
Could be looked into for the fan zone perhaps with a wheel-in chippy van.

£3 each about right for me but could easily get away with more based on costs of other stuff on sale.

Surely it's cannibalism he's promoting then

Please - show a little more respect to our front of house customer experience executives

Think it's many reasons. One they use compass catering which can offer much more if we want to pay more. (As a club)

To make the offering better too it will cost us more as well and will people do so?

However I do reckon like many say club together more with local businesses for better quality food and people will pay it if it's not extortionate.

Beres is a bad example, need something that's relatively quick to knock up.
Be good to have a better quality of burger, pies even pizza slices could work. But all of it requires investment in the facilities too.

It's basically about the lowest priority going. New owners may eventually see that differently!?

Gonna be interesting to see what they do. For instance will we see progress now on new training spot. And will we see any plans for upgrading the ground?

 

[s20Blade]

Easily done if the new owners aren't bothered about getting every penny out of the club with sub-contracts. Obviously if there's no chip butties by January COH sports are tinpot, poundland and skint.

 

[Newbury Blade]

On the plus side, the burger vans ringing the Lane are much better than at many grounds.

Great idea

The food is poor there

Went to Wealdstone v Barnet last season and there catering was better than ours ffs

But the chip buttie would sell itself

Not sure about woodbines or snuff (though I was talking to a blade at Millwall who always has some on away days!)

 

[Jon Bon II]

Is that sarnie shop still open, corner of John Street, outside kop? Used to enjoy a bacon butty and carton of tea in there before match.

That's been a beer shop for at least a couple of years now if it's the one I'm thinking of. Shame, they did do a good bacon butty

And how about some Woodbines? And snuff from automatic dispensers. They need to get with the times.

Yes it is. Just looked on Google Streetview. Shame, I used to call in there for a bacon and sausage butty when I was out and about around Sheffield on non-match days as well.

If you want something enough, dream it, envisage it, manifest it.

 

[robbiez666]

I doubt it would be easy to cater for using a local company. The scale needed over a really short period of time and in the cramped surroundings would probably be iffy. It doesn't mean that whoever is catering can't sell local produce such as pies and pasties though.

So if I think about you long and hard enough you will come into my life?
