Whilst real figures are always welcome in these seemingly never ending debates, I don't think these are particluarly useful.....
Fans use the F&B facilites at the Ricoh far far more than they ever used those at HR.....We all used to drink in the surrounding pubs & eat from the local shops did we not?
God I miss the old dump....Take me home...Highfield Road.
I take your point
they are the only ones we have though and I only quote them because TF highlighted the last year to suit his purpose
Yes the facilities are possibly used more than HR but .....
I would guess the catering is all catering not just F&B's .............. CCFC currently sell the posh nosh in their match day packages so i doubt all of the £911k is concourse catering in 2005.
Also there is a reason I put the attendances down ........ we currently average in league 10874, the average for those 4 years is 15457 (a 30% drop) so that will affect the take
Some of the drinking etc is done in the Casino etc and ACL do not get a share of that.
the 2003 and 2004 figures seem strange, I would have thought light.
2005 is a one off year where there was a lot of leaving HR marketing being done
finally a point raised by torch the effect of inflation on the figures if turnover was £500k in 2002 then in todays terms that would be £708k
my guess is that turnover currently in concourse F&B is around 750k ........... but we have no proof one way or tuther
