Amex beer & pies - the final total

[The Large One]

For those of you who can't be arsed to listen to the excellent Albion Roar, here are the final sales figures to toss around and impress your non-Albion supporting friends and colleagues at to what a bunch of gluttonous, crapulous bastards we (nearly all) are.

These figures DO NOT include the 'complimentary' drinks and food (i.e. part of the package) served for the 1901 Club - nor do they include bottles of beer sold. They do not include corporate functions - i.e. these are matchday only, I'm told.

The main story...

Pies
Steak & Ale - 75,071
Chicken & Ham - 58,504
Chicken & Balti - 14,991
Vegetarian - 7,647
Unspecified - 15,358
Total - 171,571 (avg. 6,128 per match)

The remaining 80,000 or so were served at half-time to the 1901 Club.

Pints
Fosters - 140,518
Harvey's - 134,267

There were a further 26,614 (avg. 951 per match) bottled beers bought in 1901 Club; Sol being the most popular.

There were 21,262 glasses of wine served in 1901 Club and across the concourses (not including wines that went with meals).

For some random figures regarding spirits, liqueurs, cocktails, slammers and 1970s retro drinks, tune into The Albion Roar.

Oh, and the chocolate bar king at the Amex is... Double Decker (14,030).

Some people are not eating or drinking their fair share.

 

[philsussex]

We sell more pints per match than Palace sell tickets

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Also - a couple of those Fosters were mine when the Harvey's ran out. I demand they be scrubbed from the total.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

How big (presumably a lot bigger now) is the 1901 club?

Working on the figure of 2,500 people. 2,857 pies per match (28 matches) - so over a pie a person on average.

What's an 'Unspecified' pie? Is it something to do with pie roulette?

 

[The Large One]

What's an 'Unspecified' pie? Is it something to do with pie roulette?

Yes. *






































* No.

It's just listed as 'Pie/Pint' or 'Pie/Soft Drink' etc.

 

[philsussex]

Yes. *






































* No.

It's just listed as 'Pie/Pint' or 'Pie/Soft Drink' etc.

And including the Christmas special?

No figures for that...

It's where the bakers had been drinking too much 'unspecified' beer and couldn't remember what they'd put in.

Over two and a quarter million squiddlies then

 

[Notters]

More fosters than Harveys :shakes head:

 

[Questions]

Only 2,458 for Hophead. That is disappointing. It is a shame that they have not been able to keep up. I,ve stopped getting to the ground early now because. I don,t care for the Ouse ditchwater.

 

[philsussex]

Does the club make additional money out of this over and above the money Azure paid for the contract?

 

[Beach Hut]

I suspect the biggest shame of this is Azure get the lions share of the profit especially with Piglets Pantry, if I were them I would seek to renegotiate

 

[pottert]

So by my reckoning be turned over 2.5m in pies & pints

 

[philsussex]

Just had a look at Azure's website and they don't list us amongst their list of football clubs

Bloody cheek

I had some post-match Kronenbourg in the WSU when Harvey's wasn't available. If that was put right, I'd be able to put Harvey's in the lead.

Hard to nail down a figure.

Pay for a pie and pint separately without your ST Card = £7.10
Pay together with your ST Card = £5.85

I thought you were a man of principle and would decline 'corporate gas piss'?
