I don’t think JW lees give anything to the club. This is the reason why there’s been a delay with catering I think. A firm had offered to run the catering along with new beer. This would have benefited the club financially. Some at the club did not want to lose JW Lees though… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Khan signing is one of those. I doubt the Rothwells are 100% funding the club’s losses. They just aren’t that wealthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know that then?, are you privy to their finances, I've not seen any announcement of outside investment coming in so I suspect it is they or those on the board who are paying the bills or building up the debt.

yarddog73 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 From what I've been told (not 100% sure if it's true) is that on the catering and alcohol side we were tied in with JWLees historically but from what I've heard the club now want to contract the catering out to a third party who are prepared to pump in about £500,000 for a ten year period of exclusivity, as part of that deal they'd make all the necessary improvements to the kiosks, menus etc, all I can think is that there's been an hold up getting this over the line which has resulted in some absolute cowboys operating on the forecourts as a temporary measure, an update from the club wouldn't be too difficult to put together in my opinion, we are three games in to the new season and it's still a shitshow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only Blue Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 There has got to be a reason why the media team showed Frank with one of the JW Lees owners otherwise just show Frank on his own. As long as it gets sorted and I would definitely prefer it to be them, who are semi local, than a national chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean that even though they we went bust we are still tied into a perpetuity contract. Or going bust meant that became null and void?

Doesn’t that just mean the new outside catering company will recoup their extra investment from the fans by putting up prices and making a bigger profit margin from us? Kind of what is happening.
