Ave 15,000 crowd x 23 matches x 5 years = 1.725m people through the door.
£18m represents just over a £10 per person per match for food and drink spend. Not everyone will do that, but the 1,300 'posh seats' members may well be coughing up £40 or more per person each on food.
And this doesn't include non-football events.
Just roughly, like.
18m / 5yrs
Large, that works out that they're paying 300k per month?
Surely it's no different to Sky buying the rights to screen Premiership matches etc? They pay the Premier league where as this catering company pays the Albion?I don't think that they're paying the club £18m, I think that's what the contract is worth to them over 5 years.
I could have that completely and hopelessly wrong, mind.

Rangers are a massive contract, and they also do Murrayfield. Plus you have to start somewhere, normally in catering you prove yourself and then the big clubs want to know later.
