Do Keoghs own the offices though? So potentially we could buy back? Or was it a third party that bought them off Ken / Eddie? I believe Michael James actually owns them and Keoghs pay a monthly fee to use them but might be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would shift loads, and quick; anyone know a reason why this doesn't happen. Surely bigger volumes mean more money for the contractor rather than pouring half of it down the drain? Appreciate this doesn't improve the overall experience but would surely help at halftime. I'm going to guess bottles cost more to buy than barrels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't help on the concourses that they went to only having two hot drinks machines rather than having a hot water port on each till like when we first moved.

DazBob Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 You'd think the profit margin on draught would be higher than on bottles ... but if the bottled beer tastes a lot better and can be served ten times quicker then you'd also think the positive volume variance would more than make up for the negative price variance.

DazBob Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hopefully it's just new season teething problems, but trying to get a drink on Saturday was the worst I've ever known it, and by listening to others it was a problem pretty much everywhere in the ground. The staff they employ aren't bar staff, they've not got the common sense or ability to be able to multi-task. Let's make their lives and our lives much easier by simply doing away with draught.

Site Supporter Steejay Posted August 12, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2021 Fulham away, about 3/4 years ago, had guys walking around behind the stands with Ghostbuster style backpacks, except they were serving ale.

All depends again on the trading agreement. At the rate of sale on match days I’d suspect the supplier will do a kick back and will factor things like fridges/taps installations in to that etc. Could go either way. Again I suspect BWFC would have a higher charge for bottle disposal than pints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimron Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Easy solution.. get a load of e scooters, sup in the Welly in Lostock or somewhere in Westhoughton and bomb up to the match through Wingates . Might even get a green grant for this, the club could even provide 10,000 scooters and let us ride up Chorley New Road in a dedicated lane to avoid the need to use polluting cars. I'd be up for the carnage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazBob Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 A better idea would be to make half-time about 45 minutes so you get chance to queue for your beer and then drink it without missing a large chunk of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concourse was very busy at 2.20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
