| Mrs B hasn't taken into consideration the 12 corporate boxes that will hopefully be used every matchday and the new larger restaurant that comes with the build?

Same here. The most jealous moment of my life was when I went back to a 6th Form end of year bash after 2 years away at uni, and my best mate pulled the aforementioned English teacher.
Funny, I don't speak to him these days.

At a stretch you could reconcile the potential lost revenue of £250k. The upfront cash of half a million is the confusing bit. I struggle to grasp the commercial agreement by which Rovers get a cash lump sum of £500k in a low margin arena like catering. Don't forget too that part of the revenue from the restaurant will simply be existing customers trading up a bit.

The current one and the new one in the North.

| The £500k catering/brewery deal did sound like made up BS to me. Can't see any company stumping up £1/2m up front for potential future profits in the catering/pub sector currently

| I didn't expect a response from Mrs Boreista
She steers clear of any negativity towards her club.
Bit of an ostrich
Did she mention anything about sponsorship of the North?
I fell asleep halfway through her second sentence.

Does the current restaurant sell out every week? I'm not saying you won't sell both out every week, but some folk will simply be existing customers moving to the new one. For context, as Mild Rover would say, we have one restaurant at the KC, with big windows onto the pitch and a bigger fanbase, and it doesn't sell out.

Duly noted. However, in the absence of any further information I'm not sure there's much that can be usefully added. The exact figure and how it was calculated doesn't seem to me like a particularly pressing issue from our pov, and we don't have an answer for you.

| Mr Borista admitted to running a campaign to have our rent looked at.
She thinks it is unfair that Hull FC pay the largest rental rates in
the whole of the SL.
How is that going Mrs B?
I would go back through your previous posts to point out what you put
but that would just be sad.

Absolutely, usually coffee keeps you awake but alas not this blend "la cockle" it seems more of a chocolate blend.

Do you have use of it on non match days? Is it not part of the business centre?

Well I hope you're more successful in using it for other events than seems to be the case at ours. . It seems to be a major problem for the SMC at the KC stadium.

Because most companies have squeezed this sort of discretionary expenditure in recent years possibly.
Going right back to the original post, references on Twitter to a major investor, Seventies red's club insight on players coming in rather than going out, and Rovers continuing to sign new players, these things do point to a positive outcome being announced shortly, in which case the £500k lump sum is probably not that material.

| Quote ="Mrs Barista"If you assumed you'd get the new stand half full every week and all these were incremental, that could be 1,300 punters @ average £150 = £195k. That's being generous in the current climate and with availability on the day in all stands currently. Let's "round up" to your £250k. The balance lump sum is therefore £500k, which you think is a long term upfront payment on a deal for beer and catering. Let's say, again generously, that it's a 5 year deal, so £100k a year. To get half a million quid up front now, including £100k in respect of 2017 would be staggering. What sort of catering company would have the money and risk hunger to do that, particularly given Rovers well-documented financial challenges? It seems both an astronomical cash amount for 13 dining occasions per annum (in a low margin sector), and also huge risk/generosity on the part of the caterers to be bankrolling Rovers in 2017 now. Long term sponsorships generally have annual instalments. The richness of this deal for Rovers appears immense, so presumably the fact it's delayed rather than lost altogether provides a good financial cushion for next year.'"
It's at worst, spin

We've noted your evidence, when things don't turn out as panned, we've already seen your Nostradamus like apothecary of terrible events.
You will not admit to them, but the under current is clear to see.
If things turn out to the contrary, you'll claim a victory.
Scant reward.
