Freshfish Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Bloke round here 'Gross Franck'...does 'pulled' any meat you can think of bread cakes...and they are bloody fantastic. He has two restaurants and his pop up van. Also a 'steak' pop-up in a reight smart 'van/thing' open ups every Thursday and Friday night in front of the Dry Cleaners. These types of smart 'food sellers' aren't difficult to track down, are of very good quality and carry the 'H&S' risk which the club could 'vet'. Profit share with a season exclusive deal..whatever works ...job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grez Bez Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Time to go ahead with my street food idea Close the gates to the club shop after kick off, fill the car park with street food vendors and bosb yer uncle. Few booze trucks in there too LOADS of space and we may even sell a thing or two in the shop as we must sell ZERO whilst a game is on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe stick some table in the old ticket office/ bottom end of shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id agree with that to a point - as catering is optional It still winds me up paying £2.30 for a bottle of water thats 30p in Costco (on the odd occasion I forget to take one in with me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeJayOne Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Another consideration is that a lot of the kiosks are just that - kiosks. Small spaces where people sell stuff that is cooked elsewhere and just stocked up in the kiosk ready for serving. There is no prep or cooking/catering facilities within most of the kiosks and to retrofit that, for most foods, into them is either extremely cost-prohibitive or perhaps even impossible due to the small spaces and lack of modern catering facilities built into the infrastructure of the stadium. So, to have multiple different caterers with different types of foods might be a stretch. Largely the food will have to be prepared elsewhere then taken to hotplates on the concourse kiosks to be sold. This works where there are lots of the same foods warmed up (pies, etc) in spaces at the stadium then taken to the kiosks - or for local suppliers (e.g. Beres) who are situated close to the ground and can supply in from nearby but actually prepping/making bespoke or complex dishes for the concourses that aren't cooked up in the kitchens anyway for hospitality, etc, might be really difficult and would need a significant change to the infrastructure of the stadium.

Thinking about it, we could probably do the same below the South stand and this area is covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got the basics there, more would buy before the game but that would only benefit the North Stand. SAG wouldn't be happy for all the Kop to go that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardiffowl06 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 About time we did this. Theres a huge opportunity for the club to invest significantly in the concourses now that they'll earn the reward. For me the North Stand concourses must be redeveloped by extending outwards (maybe even demolishing/moving the club shop). I went to a 49ers game last year and the concourses had everything.

canadianowl Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Do ya'll hate the idea of tailgating? Because tailgating is f**cking AWESOME and with the price of a pint at the ground it helps getting wasted off cheap lager in the car park beforehand.
