So how does this work?
They pay us 13M? 1.3M/year.
Sounds a bit too good to be true so I've probably misunderstood, but then I know fuck-all about catering!

That guy looks like he likes catering. How long until Chang comes on and announces his sources have told him we have signed a new player called Lindley - squad No. 10 |

That works out at over 100k/month.
Are they planning on selling caviar, truffles and champagne or something?

That Lindley chap doesn't look very fit. Hope Kmac sticks him on a diet before the season starts. It doesn't explain which way the 13mill is going either. Are we paying them to supply/run that side of the business? Them paying us for the 'rent' of the ground's facilities? I don't understand how football catering business works, I apologise. Also, 15,728? When was that our capacity? I thought it was rated at about 14,400? |

You've not bought chips at the County Ground recently have you? Mind you, come to that, neither have I. Although I have tried, repeatedly. Sod the financials, what I want to know is if this deal means I have any chance of being able to buy chips at half-time without missing the end of the first half or the start of the second half. And as it's the same lot that have been consistently running out of chips in the first 5 mins of half time for the past few years (but not telling anyone until you finally get to the front of the queue), I doubt it. |

Another nail in Jed's coffin - the chipgate scandal.  |

Another nail in Jed's coffin - the chipgate scandal. To be fair, IIRC it was Nick Watkins who brought this lot in, Jed and Co have just renewed the contract. Just annoys me that in this instance, I actively want to be ripped off and go out of my way to do so and they still can't manage it (the caterers, not Jed, NW, the club or anyone else) |

As someone who never buys stuff at half time (I bring in sweets or a sandwich or something because fuck waiting in the queue, or eat in the Legends Lounge beforehand), how often do they actually run out of stuff? |

Chips - every time I tried last season. And the season before that. And before anyone starts, it's for the kids, not me. And yes I do feed them before we go, but they like having chips at half time as a treat. So bog off. |

Someone's got a chip on their shoulder.
Or should that be no chip?
