Or he just opens the fan village on Latics match days too. If Sodexo dont make enough money for their in-stadium refreshments, then they'll be begging Mr D to terminate.

Yeah I can see them all turning up to that

If its a choice between money going back to the guy who owns their club, generating more money to re-invest, or money going to a 3rd party who will be creaming off the profits, then I'd take the former.

Go ask your mates on Cockney Latic what they'd do.

Most Latics fans drink in town centre pubs or the brick and that won't change. They certainly won't go anywhere near anything they consider to be related to the rugby.

You'll get the odd few, but I don't see the 700 or so that drink in the south stand and Whelans all flocking over to RP anytime soon.

And if what zig says is true and it becomes knowledge that the stadium ownership has changed to 50/50, WRL or neither club then there is no way they will go to RP.

Is that because they're a bunch of sad sacks mate?

What will happen when Whelans bar becomes The Andy Farrell Suite?

Thats their prerogative but decisions have consequences. If the football club needs, say £10m per season to operate, and refreshment profit from RP contribute £500K, then giving that money to Sodexho means someone has to make up the £500k. If Mr D is true to his word about being sustainable, then thats another £100 on your season ticket or another £3 on the matchday ticket price.

On the flip side, if the warriors fans continue to use RP, it makes it a lot easier to break even and keep ticket prices down.

Looks like Bickymon has given up, but is doing so in a more civilised way.

Bullitt is in complete meltdown. Couldnt happen to a nicer chap.
