Pity we couldn't produce something ourselves say hot pot or something, don't the rugby make their own through Lincolns? ,I might be wrong but they seem to be switched on at making money!
Where in the ground are we going to cook burgers from?
Yes I'm sure the rugby looked on the negative side people like you always quick to put people down !, you always think you're right just because you're part of the "clique " :roll:

Having pre-poured pints, like the do at concerts, would surely help?

I thought that was the point of the Barrow Eats app...
Don't let the old man in.

If by "think you're right" you mean: Finding a way to implement ideas...

And by "part of the clique" you mean: A trust board member who volunteers every matchday home and and away...

Then apologies if I seem negative.

Just surprises me that when we are trying to host our first full EFL games (with all the rules/regs and changes that brings), trying to get back to "normal business" when it comes to operating Club and Trust activities with lots of new staff, and have a Premier League team at home in 2 weeks time to prep for. That people are more concerned about us starting a burger delivery service.

All for optimism and ideas. But priorities and patience are nice too.

Once again someone who doesn't read what people are saying, I never Once said do it straight away ,I was only trying to make suggestions to help our club thrive and hopefully progress to be somewhere near self sufficiency (if that's at all possible!).
It's great that you volunteer etc and I applaud all the volunteers who work tirelessly for "our " club, but that still doesn't give you a devine right to criticise someone who was making a suggestion!

J B and all trust board, and volunteers do a great job,why is it always the [SwearFilter] who do nothing,and have all ways done nothing to help the club that constantly moan about things, and suggest more things should be done. Strange innit

Lack of resources I would say
Isn't that why we have a full-time guy ,he should be at least investigating opportunities to make money, doesn't make sense to look at matchday revenues only ,we need to start to maximise our potential to make our club self sustainable!
In amongst trying to find bar staff, corporate hospitality staff, and staffing for 3x food outlets. How many people do you think he needs to fulfil all his needs?

Where in the ground are we going to cook burgers from?
And when the new board took over they got rid of the burger vans, so can't see them being available again.

The burger vans weren't ours and the overwhelming majority of the revenue went to an external company instead of the club.
