This is where I like to do the maths:
Estimate of flaskers at the Amex: 5% or 1500 (and I’m being very generous)
Home games per season: 25 max
Cuppas sold to make £2.4m: 2,400,000 / 0.8 = 3,000,000
That means each person that previously took a flask would have to buy 80 teas/coffees per game -...
That is an odd one, isn’t it? Throughout the years, various club chairmen have treated fans shoddily in the knowledge that they’re not going to take their support elsewhere, whereas customers of any other business tend to be treated much better and with respect in order to keep them coming back...
Fair play to fans that went to Gillingham every other week and held a season ticket throughout the Withdean years, but I get the impression that some of them won’t be happy until they’re given a season ticket for life, receive personalised comms from the club several hours before general press...
