Guys
Just curious, that since the chip/burger van that used to be in Jackman Park for all home games last season, is no longer there this season, what kind of hot food is provided for home games this season.
Would the chip/burger van be welcomed back? or is the current service being provided sufficient enough for hot food.
Why did the chip/burger van get the boot? and what could be done to get it back?
are you touting for work mr,morton surely your getting good money from your job in dell:DQuote:

Hot dogs, pot noodles, soup, tea and coffee are available along with your normal shop stuff.Quote:

Apart from the hot-dogs, I wouldnt really classify any of the above as "food" (ok maybe the pot-noodles too :o).Quote:

Pot noodle isn't food. Food tastes different when it's gone off.Quote:

so to answer my question then, no hot food provided (apart from hot-dogs) for a club looking to go forward both on and off the pitch.Quote:

Set up time, one hour before kick off, finish just before game end-thats 2.5 hours work, plus your running costs, plus the rent, plus cleaning costs, staff wages....you wouldn't be left with much of your €640. And thats being optimistic in saying 80 people would eat at the match.
As Monkfish said, 2 chippers within a stones throw of the ground...buy your grub on the way up or the way home.
I know for a fact the burger/chip van owner from last year wants to get back in for the home games (regardless of your figures above), and surely it would suit L37 to take a few bob from them to do so....................who would have to give this permission within L37?Quote:

Looks like you got your wish abbey
Haha
I don't see what the big deal is with the previous chip van. The food from it was utter $hite and the prices were ridiculous - everything was way dearer than your average take way. And if memory serves me right, the Van got the boot because they were paying the club peanuts, if anything at all, for being at the ground. So, I would imagine that any re-admittance would involve a hefty rent fee on a per game basis, which as joesoap has said, wouldn't make it a hugely viable venture. Couldn't see the club allowing a chip van affect their own shop/hotdog sales unless they were getting well reimbursed for it. And if your man with the van charged anymore for the burgers..........
