Okay. I understand now. This is poor. I'm pretty certain when Barber was pressed on the club wanting to shut down the NSC ticket exchange, in an attempt to not appear heavy heanded, he said something about the club recognising friends/families share tickets. I wonder where this statement sits in...

So the club has caught someone fiddling the tickets i.e. paying the child price? I'm not too bothered about this to be honest.

Er, are you serious? Someone has had an email pointing out that other people cannot use their seat?

Probably nothing. I was simply pointing out that he has not read the book. Personally I do not care which literature Barber reads or does not read.

I think we all agree that the club would and should evolve at the AMEX. I do not think this thread is suggesting otherwise. If anything this thread is about people wanting to join in with this evolution but not being able to because basis sanity prohibits you parting with money for such poor...

I do not believe he has read it though. When asked (think it was on Albion roar) he gave the idea he has dipped into it from time to time on a reference basis and not read it cover to cover.

Nail on the head.

Fair point.

We have already done this once. Surely the idea first time was to get better caterers in?

This. The suggestion was made their pitch wasn't strongest. The pitch is only one element of tending. They surely would have scored highly on the due diligence side of things? I reckon the decision was a financial one. Barber seems to have quite a simple, almost naive, approach to business which...

The guy is a jerk. If he wants us to buy "vitally important" food and drink then provide us with products we want to buy. This is how it works. He's made a total mess of the catering and now he resorts to guilt tripping us.

Seems an odd location for the players lounge? And I presumed they already had a lounge.

Not seen the notes but if this is true then this is a total insult. And blackmail is a strange way to operate retail.

True. I guess it comes down to a % of something is better than a % of nothing...which is what the current situation is. Surely Barber's next move is to host some genuine non-lipservice focus groups?

There was around 25 tables last season for each game. For all the Barber talk of increasing revenue I wonder how much his screwing up of the catering for 3000 1901 Club members is costing the club each game? Very very disappointing.

Do they still have the German pilsner on?

Just 3 tables have booked the Overline Lounge today. Just 3.

Gotcha. As I have mentioned I think this whole corporate thing is turning out to be a distraction. The club have 3000 plus premium seats which I am led to believe is unheard of at our level. Concentrate on this as opposed to this fine dining nonsense which the 1901 members seemingly do not want...

Who are these corporate fans you talk of? Existing fans or bods who simply fancy being able to have a jolly at the Albion every so often?

What Barber could have done is sold the South stand 1901 as a 'corporate' lounge/area. He had a blank canvass with that area but chose to continue the existing set up.
