Would be great if our club did something similar with our own fans.

Not 100% sure, but isn't our catering still run by Compass catering on a 10 year contract.

I asked this question on a Question and Answer question with my boss as I'm employed with Compass, to which he replied that all Stadium Catering contracts are on a management basis only. Meaning that the club or company in question will only pay Compass a management fee to employ staff and train them on the required equipment, and the club will set the offers and food that they sell.. And with that, the club will take the profits from the kiosks.

So if the contract is worth £3million, that's all compass will get... Whether the kiosk takes in £2million or £2billionm the club will deal with the loss or profit.

Hope this helps :ayatollah:

That is a great from Middlesboro. But I feel I must tell the story of my visit to the bar by 111 at half-time last week.
That particular bar are not the quickest in the world but last week I got to the bar to say to the girl serving " pint of Lager please here is the right money £4" She said "whats that? I said Lager!. She then asked is that strongbow? eventually I got my pint of "fosters" and she was serving behind the bar!!!!!!! :lol:

My understanding of the contract is that it was agreed that if compass paid for the fitting out of all the catering outlets and they were then given a 10 year contact for that, we did not have a pot to piss in back then, and did not have the money to do the work ourselves. The club would only get a percentage of the income over a certain amount, last year VT tried to buy compass out but they refused. Why would he try and buy them out if the club were already getting most of the profits?

The above is how I also believe the situation on catering is presently set up
