I like the idea of a special beer with a name connected to the club. Willeys Bar in Cleethorpes has a micro brewery so the might be more approachable or maybe Tom Woods.


Or Batemans - Mr. Bateman is a Mariner! Again, I think you could just throw it out there to micro breweries in our catchment area. It would be in their interest too. Same agreement, we can sell your beer and pay you for it. Put up a sign, with their details in the bar - they, if they operate a pub, put up posters for home games.

On the thought of that we could also get together with art students at the college to produce funky match posters for people to download as a PDF from the OS, here or the Trust website to pin up in their local, place of work, school etc. Lewes FC have some great examples: http://www.lewesfc.com/match-day-posters/ In exchange the students in question get a GTFC headed letter acknowledging their work for the club from the Chairman (facilitated by the Trust) to go in their portfolio and good experience for their future employment.

Something like this would get me buying food at the ground, as it is I can't remember the last time I bought anything from the kiosks.

Does anyone know the current set up regarding contracts for providing food? Would the Trust have to simply compete with the companies who currently provide the food?

The contract still has more than a year to run I think.

If there is a contract of a year to run, this gives us plenty of time to plan, gather figures on average sales to give a better idea to potential suppliers and organise the arrangement/improve any facilities that need such work.

How about an bookies at the ground? Would need a bookmakers license but beyond that it's not too complicated. All the work to compile odds has been done by all the other bookies, would be simple enough to write some code to pull all those odds together. Would probably have to have a fairly restrictive maximum payout to ensure the trust didn't go bust which could be a problem!

I don't think GTFC should be encouraging gambling. Quality local, healthy produce on the other hand is a great idea. If Kidderminster can do it...

I live in the house directly behind willy's wine bar and know Bill well enough to approach him with this idea.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
