"The American Express Community Stadium is a conference and banqueting centre that will become a fantastic football stadium when there's a match," he added.

Not sure that's how most people will see it, spose it was to a catering magazine...but as long as they do a good job, they are up-and-comers in this country. Not a bad fit.

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?

Maybe the farm shop might want to get in contact with them.

That's a lot of prawn sandwiches they've got to sell.

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.
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?

Not one big premiership team in that list.Doesn't speak to highly of them does it?

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.

Lets be honest here and if you snapped up one of those expensive platinum seats in the 1901 club, wouldn't you be a little disappointed in this deal?
You would have thought the Albion would have gone for an established company with an excellent track record as they did bang on about the fine dinning etc in there recent video.They were really nailing home about being a member of the exclusive 1901 club and how up market it was going to be etc.
