And it's better to have a bigger restaraunt commercially and more corporate facilities.

I was actually thinking of building a Wetherspoons that has a normal bar area that people can access from outside the stadium...and on the other side, a counter serving beers from the other for those when inside the stadium.

You'd have 24/7 usage then. Plus, people could pay for some decent beers. But that sounds too good to be true IMO.

Wetherspoons isn't a franchise though and it'd be highly unlikely that Cas would want to lease out their facilities to a company rather than making the profits themselves with a local catering company.

Re: Stadium Development and Ground Share Thread : Wed Aug 11, 2010 8:14 pm  

Yeah but if it helps pay towards one stand then I'm happy for it. Plus, for use of the facilities it could be sorted that Cas get half the takings on matchdays or something?

Re: Stadium Development and Ground Share Thread : Wed Aug 11, 2010 8:28 pm  

But why settle for half takings when we could have the whole lot? Wetherspoons have 3 bars in the area, the closest to the ground only being the Winter Seam. It'd be a bad business decision from them, and it's also not the type of business they do anyway (stadiums).

....and also, one stand? So somehow, Wetherspoons would fork out £3-5mill to have the bars at the Cas ground? Profit in a bar is roughly 25% profit. They'd only be open mainly on matchdays, it wouldn't be worth the injection.
