Legal requirement isn’t it?

Aye. I'm just trying to think who it helps 

 

Unless someone goes to the match and drinks just one carton of gravy

Is the calorie thing necessary? Surely a normal person knows all that shit contains fucking loads. Not like there's a magic hotdog that contains 2kcal, if there was it would probably be 25 fucking quid 

Lots of people count their calories, so yes. 

[ponsaelius]

Not counting calories or having no knowledge of what they're eating is a major reason many people are overweight. Presenting the information can only be a good thing.

It’s been said before on here, but Razor is definitely good enough to get a national job with 5Live or someone. 

Also a dead canny lad. Used to work with him in great north run hospitality.

Cheeseburger is still 30p cheaper than I paid at National League South side Chelmsford the other day to be fair

Do you think you could have somewhere twice the size on that site ?

I think they could’ve made it bigger and used what space they had more efficiently.

But everything on the list is of similar calorie intake? So what options are there?

Agreed. Great commentary team. Just wish wouldn’t say “joelinton” the way he does 😂😂

 

Listened to the second half yesterday - he did say that Osula is Dutch at one point too. It's a good job I'm not Ando as I'm such a pedant I'd have corrected him. 😂

A laminated flat A4 menu does not scream ‘platinum’ to me.

Am sure the corporate/ premium offerings are going to get a revamp in due course. Including the prices…

 

I remember when the new stands opened the corporate offering was relatively premium, and stuff like 1892 club actually seemed to have a bit more to them. Like everything else under Ashley it looks like it was just done on the cheap for a decade

 

I seem to remember the catering contract being outsourced under Ashley, I wonder if that will be / has been brought in house again to allow improvements

There's only 2 things I can't stand in the world, people who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch

700 calories though?

I think people are over estimating the profits that stack will make for the club with how tight margins are in the hospitality sector, might pay for a few weeks of wages for a top earner and that's it.

[huss9]

3k capacity?

around 50k income per game if full?

could be a million per season {income not profit) from match days alone.

 

add in non match day income.

 

and some account fiddling.

100% it’s a cultural/ fan move rather than money maker

Agree. Doesn't stack up

Unless all the costs belong to SELA and all the revenue belongs to NUFC...

 

We know that's what Chelsea would do.

What's the talk.... new stadium or expansion?

[Elliottman]

Someone post the article? 

[NSG]

“Once in a generation” and “writing one cheque” feels to me like a new stadium or a complete rebuild of SJP.

[B-more Mag]

Don’t believe it — nobody writes checks anymore.

[El Prontonise]

Cheques*

What a time to be alive man. Howay the fucking lads.

Here is the top part.

 

Newcastle's new chief operating officer Brad Miller has revealed the club are in the final stages of reaching a decision on the stadium project

Newcastle would prefer to expand St James’ Park rather than relocate.

Newcastle United are preparing to write a “once-in-a-generation” cheque to resolve the St James’ Park expansion dilemma – with a definitive decision on next steps now “really, truly” imminent.

In a clear sign that the club are in the final stages of a decision on the huge stadium project, Newcastle’s new chief operating officer Brad Miller has offered reassurances over the ownership’s “overwhelming” commitment to invest either in St James’ Park or a new build elsewhere in the city.

Miller, who was appointed in June, says the board is now “working through the last couple of questions we’ve got” after the completion of a wide-ranging, six-figure feasibility study into possible options which has included “war gaming” the issues around both a sizeable expansion of St James’ Park and also how a new-build stadium would work in practice.

 

Goes on a bit after this.
