Following up on an idea I heard voiced over the weekend – how much money is lost to us – and countless other clubs – by not doing the American ballgame thingy?
I refer to people going around the ground with a basket – or whatever – delivering snacks to the 90% who really don’t wanna queue.
That’s a great deal of potential custom. It might only raise a couple of grand net every game with, say, eight to 12 purveyors delivering assorted overpriced goodies and drinks up and down the aisles.
It could potentially raise a great deal more.
My only reservation is that they all should be fully trained to minimise disruption to people’s viewing the football.
If thought and planning went into this – we could probably fund the wages of a couple of players who would otherwise be far too pricey for us.
Free entrance to the ground for the grafters + £30 each would surely tempt more than a few.
This is just a first response, SanFran, the idea needs a fair bit of work and attention but, after polishing, it really ought to work.
