    That's to a crowd of 600 fans, I'm only guessing but to try do that for a crowd of around 10-12000 is far more difficult. Only guessing though. Out of interest how much was the coffee?

    I think its mainly to do with a pre arranged contract too which I think has been covered previously.

    From a ‘business forum’, discussing the profit margins:- “Cost: 8p (coffee) + 6p (milk) = 14p

    Sell for £2.20. Take off the VAT first resulting in the NET sale of £1.83.

    Gross profit = £1.83 - £0.14 => £1.69 => 92.3% profit margin’.

    True, or the hot water etc. Even so I think it would be hard not to profit from selling hot drinks, it's the food etc that is more complicated

    The item was looking at a unit operating over 12 hours with attendant costs of wages to cover the extended opening time. Agree with your comment. However the volume of sales over a three hour period will potentially be substantial and as such fuel the profits.

    I understand the reasons why they did it and at the time it was a risk free, convenient way to get it sorted. That said, it's been contracted out for a long time now and we've had plenty of time to come up with a way to make it work in house. We're missing out on thousands of pounds every match day.

    You could say that about almost anything made - food, clothes, trainers, cars - ok the mark up % are all different but the profit is obviously why they do what they do.

    yep the Pepsi out of the dispenser cost about 3p for a pint. Overall we were hitting just below 70% mark up on drinks and 80% on food, total was around 76%. Yep there was all the running costs to pay but it shows what the difference is

    I dont understand how non of the venders sell chips. Must be one of the cheapest and easiest things to prepare, and likely one of the bloody easiest to sell

    If you like a brandy mate... Can I recommend Asbach to you?
    It's a German Älter Weinbrand and is very nice indeed. The only place I know to get it from is Saltaire Wines... about £22 for 0.7 litre bottle.

    I'm pretty sure the HSE lays down very firm guidelines, which the Club would be in breach of

    Man Of The Match award.

    Think it's time to take the man of the match award off sponsors.

    The club should pick 3-5 players that they feel they should be up for MOTM and then do a vote on Twitter or Bantam Talk until about 7/8 then whoever wins the vote wins the MOTM.

    Announce the winner on twitter & offical site..

    Can do this for both home and away matches!

    The sponsors naming MOTM is becoming embarrassing!
