There is a question of balance here as with most topics. If fans like Scorer are content to drink the beer provided at the Keepmoat then that is Scorers choice. The type of beer/lager provided at the Keepmoat is not my choice and never will be, the cost is prohibitive given what IMO is an inferior ale. Most stadiums catering fails to provide quality produce and like most entertainment venues in this country the income gained is all that matters.

How does the above sit with the following---

Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council provided £30 million of the £32 million towards the original cost of the Stadium.(some of which was raised via land sales),

The stadium is managed by a ‘not for profit’ stadium management company (a LLP). The facility is leased to the stadium management company – via a long-term / rent free – by the Council.

It is designed to provide a high-quality sporting environment with a community focus.

it's because they have a shed load of unnecessary staff they need to pay

I have no idea how it sits with what you have posted. My comment is based on most sporting and entertainment venues that I have been to. Shockingly high priced food and drink that in most cases the standard of which is not very high. I suppose DF given that quote they should give it away

Jemmo, Sounds alot like Doncaster Council.

Maybe not go as far as giving it away---but for someone (Scorer) to suggest that the provision of food and drink should be thought of as a bonus don't sit well with me.

The bonus is "under cover and inside"perhaps Ididn't make it clear enough sorry

63 members representing 21 Wards--------does appear a little over the top.
Maybe 2 per ward would suffice next time voting comes around in exchange for a £2.50 pint at the Keepmoat.
