Quaker Retail

[loan_star]

Anyone know why Quaker Retail are made to set up on tables outside the ground instead of being allowed to set up inside where they would get some cover from the balcony? Seems daft having them outside the turnstiles.

I guess it's because they want to catch everybody as they are walking in. Don't know why they don't set up inside the ground for half-time trade.

Best placed for footfall exactly where they are. Be silly to move them in my opinion.

I asked them this last night given there was virtually no lighting where they were. They were diplomatic in the answer but seems like there is "no space" for them inside the ground.

No space...

I actually think the location isn't horrendous - plenty of footfall. However, being exposed to the elements, with nothing more than a trestle table must be pretty grim when the weather is bad, and it quite frankly looks rather amateurish (no criticism of the excellent volunteers).

Hopefully a (semi)permanent structure can be put up somewhere to house QR and programme sales. There has been a pie shed constructed for the food, which looks much better than the tent+trestle table set up of the first few games, so I'm sure something better could be sorted out for our superb merchandise and programme sellers

I thought the same thing about them being outside but what about putting a table in the bar for them

Maybe next to the big screen at the bottom and then maybe make some posters stating that Quaker retails in inside the bar and put them on the turnstyles as you go in ?

I was in the bar last night and althought it was busy but not full you could easily sort something in that bottom corner. What about them doors at the bottom too or are they alarmed with them being a fire exit

Being at the top of the lane is also good for footfall but no good to anyone if its raining.
Its a daft situation.

Like everything else I'm sure it will be addressed a lot of things have been sorted out imo parking, use of bars, concessions.
