Look at when you go to the arena for a show £4,50 for a pint of watery fosters, you would not buy it but you don't have a chose. What are you on about FFS. The reason you go to the arena is to see the event, there is no other alternative it is a completely captive audience. Getting people into the ground for an event that can be watched (for free) in thousands of other locations is the issue, not to mention the associated costs to the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Wednesday Tap are running a bar at Tramlines in the park,I would wager that they will make more profit in the three days of the event than they normally make in three weeks.

Watching the game in a football stadium would have given it a different feel and atmosphere and we could have easily got thousands each game as we progressed this figure would have risen and how many beers does the average person drink in 90 minutes plus of football anywhere from 3 to 7 pints, other than the hire of a big screen tv and a few stewards what would have been the cost to the club and on beer sales alone they would have made us thousands. But didn't do it so the local pubs got all the profit instead and the ones near me were packed for every game not just the England games. Friendlys, under 21 games both internationally and at club level, women’s football all have low attendances. Watching an international on a big screen in a half empty stadium would be a very soulless place even if tickets are free. watching these kind of games is all about getting caught up in the atmosphere busy sporting pubs or your local or at a festival like place ( how did that work out for the big one they did on that field) nice idead but I bet it would flop with huge losses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfield Owl Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Are there any actually sources or facts to demonstrate that Wednesday are running a bar at Tramlines, that the club will actually profit from? Or is that hopeful speculation? Big missed opportunity if the club aren’t doing anything when there is a huge festival going off over the road.

Blimey , that’s some supping I reckon !! . Suppose most beer would have got chucked all over shop when England scored though !! . Personally I was too busy watching the games . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_owl Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Some people showing that not only do they know naff all about football but they also know naff all about music. last night tramlines was superb, Millburn, Everything Everything and Stereophonis were spot on. today promises to be as good if not better, looking forward to Reverend, Coasts and Noel Gallagher.

I was genuinely surprised at just how good the set up in the Park was last night. For once Sheffield has pulled it off.
