Nope, it's not broken out, probably buried in the matchday income. There's just no reason we'd make no money from it though- it will either be a fixed payment a volume-based payment or most likely a combination of the two. It's not exactly controversial, anywhere I've ever worked with a canteen has outsourced those operations to a specialist. You see, there's a reason I'm making this point. Scunny have just outsourced theirs, for the reason that it was actually costing too much to do internally and was failing badly - I know for a fact that the club are getting very little money from the arrangement; it's just a removal of something they have to think about for matchdays. Mental to think they can't make a profit when charging £5 a pint, £5 for a crappy little beefburger, £4 for a pie and £2.50 for a bottle of Coke to a 52k captive audience. I'm sure when the England Rugby team played at SJP a couple of years ago they took over 500k in beer sales alone. I’m talking about a club selling chips to a crowd of 3k though.

He's out for another two weeks. Bet he's on the bench for Arsenal.

They are making money from it though, in fact they should be making more than if they were doing it in house, otherwise their would be no point. Can you show me in the accounts then?

Shame the club makes no money from food and drink then. Stop been argumentative for the sake of it the point is we make about 18-20m a season more in ticket revenues than Bournemouth Apologies, wasn’t arguing with you. It’s just yet another example of the club not making money where it could be. Happy to be shown where that’s wrong in the accounts though.

I keep asking, but isn’t James a bot? He must be.

Same. So he’ll score one.

Its your middle sentence that nails it. The message from the very top that defines the culture of the club is that we are driftwood and there is no desire to do anything other than just survive in the Premier League or when that fails get back up first attempt. In any business if that is drilled into you - and its visible from the lack of care in the ground, the training facilities, the outsourcing of many departments compounded by the public attacks on anyone showing any form of wanting to do better for the club - no manager can beat the culture. The real worry is that Rafa is keeping a semblance of professionalism in the playing staff, remove him and watch it all fall apart Personally, I'm hoping they sack him or he walks, then the owner and the Rafa detractors can get the manager they deserve......and everything that entails. Fuck them. He certainly deserves better than this. Agree with this

He's not helping himself playing centre backs at left back with Sterry on the other side. Good luck trying to play football with them bringing the ball out. We've got some fucking horrendous footballers in those positions. Who the fuck else was he supposed to play at full-back? Yedlin and Dummett absolutely cannot be risked, as evidenced by the backup brigade on show tonight (and at Cardiff). Aye, I suppose we need to keep them fresh so we can wheel them out for the hammering against City on Saturday. I think I'd rather have won today tbh. Resting players for a game we are gonna get beat in anyway and for the big relegation battle and we aren't even out of August. No aim other than to exist in the pl and then we get 11 years of wank and knocked out on purpose runt he cups. That's rafas hat trick now oxford and forest twice. Shite Remember the slaughtering Pardew and the rest of the shite used to get? Not from you though. Weird.

Why would Bellamy be a fan of a businessman? I call bullshit.

Sky not found a way to get technical difficulties to cut howey off?

Think they removed it.

Has howey ever been critical of Ashley? Genuine question, I can’t remember.

Kenedy’s attitude and form is massively worrying. He was vital to us last season.

Bellamy on the debate. Another one defending mike?

I’ve almost had enough to be honest. I’m just interested to see who the next manager will be.

We need to die before we can be resurrected. Let’s hope it’s close.

Our defenders actually completely gave up. Makes me think we designed this....

Lol

No chance that Joselu scores that same goal. Impressed.

Players having a bit of ability.
