Idea for the trust

Build a clubhouse in one of the home corners. Bar, food, footy and strippers.

How about pre ordering food then for a bit of discount? Easiest way to do it and simple to coordinate. Maybe it's just the logistics of everything that causes the problems?? Too many people in a particular space at any one time?

This was my idea of raising the idea now - it gives us time to gather info about how much the current caterers sell of pies, hot dogs, burgers and drinks roughly on a match day. We could ask people by conducting surveys prematch or ask the caterers directly. That way, when the proposal to prospective butchers and bakers is made we can give them a rough idea of how much we want, This has the double advantage of not over-buying initially and giving the said butcher or baker a realistic chance of know whether or not they have the man power and production capacity to produce an extra, say, 1000 buns or burgers every two weeks on average.

That is where the community angle comes in - if they need to produce so much more they need to employ an extra person this is good for club and community. it raises our profile and the idea that the club could become, and therefore the ground (as this is where the product would be sold and made for), an asset of community value. Something I think we should be aiming for as a Trust also, if not with BP, the new ground if we ever get one. My apologies if that has already been raised in the pamphlets the Trust sent around for the new ground proposal - as I don't live in the area, I haven't seen a pamphlet.

Also, if we needed anymore proof about how much Kiddy's pies get people going - one of the pundits on the non-league show this week was raving about their shepherd's pies. That was on a national radio programme. Priceless advertising for their football club.

Well, probably won't happen but am sure there could be a sponsorship opportunity too? Back of shirt sponsor??

Apart from the catering, I would regularly use the trust bar and watch the early game if I didn't have to drive. Would be quite happy to come on a pedal cycle but there is nowhere to put it even if locked it would probably get nicked. There are no facilities for pedal cycles and it would be quite easy to pay a youngster a small fee to watch the bikes almost like a cloakroom system. Just another thought to throw in.

Well I'm often put off queuing for Mariners Kitchen by the half time crush...
If there was another kiosk outlet outside perhaps.
How about the away/findus corner ?
