So surely it's better to maybe sell pies than definitely not at all?
By "being paid" I mean they take 85% of CCFC F+B profits, so it depends who's missing out from the corporate sales, CCFC or Compass. If it's CCFC, they may have told Compass not to bother about corporate. Like I said, I'm talking hypothetically. I await the full story explaining why this has come about

How do you calculate profit? Gross profit? How do you prove what was bought in? Whenever I had to pay a percentage, it was on turnover - dead easy and no arguments.

Depends on if CCFC have to pay on any losses? If Compass lost £500, do CCFC have to cover that loss as it's CCFC's event? (I'm assuming not, but I don't know the details of the deal)
Just seems odd that Compass would choose to lose out on potential earnings, when surely the money earned in the concourses offset the costs of running the corporate section on CCFC matchday.

To be fair, how much extra money do you spend after a CCFC win?
It's all relevant.
I used to do corporate and didn't think it was worth it, so stopped a couple of seasons ago

I meant how much more in general, as in how it makes you feel.
When CCFC win, it's drinks on me, £500 on red, 7 home shirts, and maximum chicken cottage.
A loss, and it's a crate of lager to drown my sorrows
Mind you, the highlighted bit may be below corporate :sorry:

I think the point is lost here. It's not just about pies. It's about the match-day experience which is the worst I can ever remember. After a week at work we all need to unwind and look forward to the match at the weekend. Not anymore. There's always a drama waiting around the corner.

It is in Wasps interests for the CCFC corporate experience to be poor. It's all part of undermining CCFC and then they do their sales pitch about excellent corporate hospitality to former CCFC sponsors. I follow a number of companies or individuals on Twitter who were well known supporters of CCFC that are now all over Wasps. It was a well known tactic of theirs to actively contact former CCFC sponsors and corporate customers. Surely trying to entice someone to switch allegiance is easier if one offering is good and the other is crap??

It's probably all in the small print of the contract, Compass will need to sell a set amount

Below what's needed. Just another sign of the club shrinking.

Correct and it also highlights some of the devious tactics and rubbish going on behind the scenes every day that most of us don't know about and that CCFC keep quiet about.

What he said.
Regardless of how we got here; the politics, the silly posturing, the huge mistakes made - we have to look forward. I hope and pray (as much as an atheist can), that someone takes the club on, and when they do they realise that the club needs a home, a proper home that feels like it's ours and where we aren't glorified squatters. Than can never be the Ricoh Arena, regardless of what deal they do to eek out a few extra % from pie sales. We need to move on, and wipe our feet on the way out.

Would be interesting to know what else there was going on like that.

If someone is willing to gift CCFC a stadium, that would compete with the Ricoh commercially, then I'd agree with you.

I would wait until we no the reason.
I'd think it's more likely that we can't attract a sufficient number of fans to make it worthwhile.

there used to be one over there, to the left of directors box if looking from the other side. It might not be there now as it was a while ago.
Where else will the non corp people in that stand go?

I know that when the club were there first time around that they were being charged very high service charges on the utilities and phones. Way over what they should have been paying but had to lump it. Rumours were that ACL were inflating the costs. Also the club shop and offices was locked up by ACL after the last game of the season one year giving the staff no choice but to go home when they should have been open. Loads of dirty tricks gone on for a long time.
Didn't ACL get found guilty of overcharging rates? To the tune of £500,000. Think they were ordered to pay it back.

I remember something about thousands for using the tannoy or something like that? Like silly money.

They could cut out the 'orange boys' (stewards), raiding the private doors to the food outlets @ the end of half time, that's gonna make them even more grumpy.
It's actually quite humorous to watch them as they emerge with pies stuffed down their fronts,
oh shit i might have rumbled them, & that would affect the 15%

Ah yes, that's right. Something about being charged the annual rateable value for facilities they were only using for a few hours 25 or so times a year.

It isn't unsubstantiated is it?
As for the tax thing I mentioned it was public about paying rates or tax for 24/7/365 wasn't it?
The tannoy stuff was on here, I also put "something like that" so it may have not been the exact tannoy but something similar.
