I believe Frankie FWIW, something juvenile about Phlebs argument.

Everything PhilB says is correct, as usual.

This endorsement is on the same level as Pete Doherty's drug dealer telling the police he is clean.

We lose an awful lot of money at our bars because you have Lord Charles, Red Hell, and Soccer Sensation with there prices of beer so much cheaper. Its not rocket science that by the time the fans turn up at CP they have had enough or might just buy 1 for the sake of it. The so called marketing team don't care about putting anything on to get the fans in and this is were we are failing (marketing team need a kick up the 4R5E or sacking) big style in attracting fans through the turnstile earlier.

you not read the previous pages then

Correct

Phleb, why don't you go show them your chufty fan badge thingy and bust some caps in their asses?

I've just asked my friend who worked in the events team until last year, they confirmed what Frankie has said and that Rovers get a one-off payment from the catering company but, this agreement doesn't include any special events such as weddings, birthdays etc, these are billed as a one-off and Rovers earn a premium of sales.

That's all well and good and that was the old method. When cgc took over at the beginning of this season it all changed, it's not difficult to understand is it.

I didn't wake up this morning and think I'll tell you that Rovers get a percentage of the bar takings when they don't.

Having dealt with them since the change to cgc this is the case. Whether you choose to believe it or not is completely up to you.

Keep giving me grief from whatever user name you are using this week, I'm sure I'll live

Glad we've all stopped arguing about this because we're not really bothered.

shall we close down every pub in a five mile radius. Because rovers take a one off payment the catering company set the price so theres nothing rovers can do about competing on price so you saying correct to oggi the red is in fact incorrect

Ok mate, you've been told one thing. I've been told another. Fair enough

I take it that your friend worked for the previous events team. I was informed the reason a 5 year deal was signed in March 2013 with CGC was due to the fact it was far more lucrative than the previous deal.

Can we play nice now?

As a club they do need to host more events at craven park. Hopefully with the new north stand we will get a lot more use and a steady flow of companies using it. With regards to bigger events at the stadium I think Saturday can only have helped with attracting more events. Big crowd with a good atmosphere and praise from everyone involved.

Maybe if they offered season ticket holders a certain percentage off the drink price that could be a winner? Something along the lines of 20%?

Great idea but too open to abuse. I remember a discount scheme at revolution in town, and we all used this one kids card. Same would happen with season passes.

Have your photo on the card.

Quite - but currently that is not the case is it.

Section a members area off where you have the discount bar.

Nor is the scheme.

this the £300k you would have got for the north stand? does that mean the corporate income isnt yours, its been paid up to you in advance by the catering co?

No and no

Can you imagine putting faces on season passes. They struggle with the basics as it is. We have to give ours to the turnstyle operaters now at the KC to scan it for us!!!!

Love the idea of gigs at CP. Problem is I think we'd face a similar dilemma to KC - the only acts who would be guaranteed sell-outs would be too expensive to book, so in the case of KC you end up losing money on acts who aren't big enough anyway (eg Blue), or were in their prime but that was 25 years ago (eg Simply Red). Great idea in theory, but in practice very tough to make work I imagine.
Was chatting the other day and somehow Hull Vikings came up. Have to say although I'm pleased with our huge progess since 05 / 06 I do feel sad that the Vikings were arguably a victim of it. I couldn't and never would knock anyone for not supporting them when they needed it as I only went to Vikings meetings around 95 / 96, but it's a real shame that there's no longer speedway in Hull because for a period it was huge and (it has to be said) drawing more people to CL than we were!
