mainstand Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I see that Saints are opening kiosks and providing food for golf fans. Increased prices but probably still cheaper than Gleneagles: Bacon Roll £3 Water or Capri Sun £2 Hot drink £2.50 Twix/Yorkie £1.50 Packed Lunch £7 Could get us a new player.

pete1967 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 How much of this Ryder Cup money goes to the SFA? classic comment! How much of the 800k for stevie may went to the sfa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainstand Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Glad to see that I lined this one up for the infrastructure and SFA jokers. I think it is good business for the Club and although the prices are higher than you would normally see at a High Street shopwill probably be significantly less than on site at Gleneagles. Good on Saints and hopdefully it will be a money spinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deej Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 £10.50 for a cheese and bacon burger , and chips, on site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Center Half Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 And it will be crap also probably, Mind you £6 for a Chelsea Burger at Stamford Bridge last year and it was good. £10.50 for a cheese and bacon burger , and chips, on site.

ejksjfc Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 £20 a day per car on competition days. Someone has made probably £100,000 just from the parking fees taking the practice days into account. A good move by Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainstand Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yep They are certainly making their money and are also screwing people who for one reason or another can't use their ticket. £120 for a ticket for Friday which is not transferable or refundable so if you are ill or unable to go it is £120 down the drain. All tickets have your photograph on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelosi Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Do we know for sure that Saints are actually getting any money from the kiosks? I know the rental of our car parking spaces will fund the replacement/upgrade of the astroturf, but the kiosks may be part of the Ryder Cup and franchised out to other companies! I believe there are a few different car parking venues for the Ryder Cup and assume they all have similar catering/security set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerthSeany Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Balado mcd and some field beside the motorway at Stirling is being used. I didn't see any catering when I passed the Stirling site. I can't say I was looking for it though. There was quotes from Roddy I think on the main site discussing we would be offering bacon rolls etc so I presume we have some party to play financially in them?

Pelosi Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Once again..that's an excellent piece of business if true!... I'm sure this will bring in thousands of pounds over the next few days and go a long way in beneffiting Saints! Balado mcd and some field beside the motorway at Stirling is being used.

ancientsaint Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 OK - I heard this 3rd hand BUT - Saints apparently agreed a fee of £40,000 (forty thousand) for use of the grounds for the Ryder Cup NOW apparently the guy who deals with these matters heard and renegotiated it up to £80,000 (eighty thousand). He then left the club. My understanding is he he either left of his own free will or was asked to go -NOW as I said this was 3rd hand.

mainstand Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Pelosi yes it is Saints that are doing the catering nothing to do with Ryder cup company. Ancientsaint I believe the astroturf is being replaced by or receiving a significant contribution from the Ryder cup legacy company. I don't know about the £40k or £80k hire fee but if it is costing £20 per day and we have 1000 spaces at McD then that is only bringing in £20k a day or 80k for the 4 main days. So getting that much off of them for hire is not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
