    They must be anyway. It's the only reason I can think of why they've chosen to risk a big fine for not displaying prices at their food kiosk despite being made aware of the law several times.

    Obviously don't need sales either if they're happy for people to walk away rather than queue up and guess the price

    Oh and a company struggling for cash wouldn't usually have it's official merchandise store closed 65 minutes before kick off either


    Great news for bfc that we've obviously come into a lot of money over Christmas and can afford to chuck money away now

    I thought the kiosks were run by an outside company

    They just waste so much money, or fail to earn so much more...

    The club don’t run the shop. Wonder if they had staffing challenges with the flu outbreak that seems to be hitting a lot of people currently. It doesnt normally close does it.. Will raise the other point though. Which Kiosk is it?

    It closed a few matches ago randomly at 2pm and at half 2 on another match so they've been poor with it for a while but you're right that's I assume fanatics.

    The kiosk that they flout the law with is the kiosk takeover one in the middle of the east lower and also the one opposite with the bottom fill glasses. Neither list what they sell or the prices. Thankyou for raising it, I know it's already been raised but it doesn't hurt to raise it again when they haven't done anything about it.

    However we did win so regardless of the slight frustrations I'm a very happy boy tonight

    The one with the fancy food. It has tiny little chalkboards (max A4 sheet of paper size) with tiny white chalk writing on saying what the specials are and no price. They’re placed right next to the till so there’s no way of seeing that the boards exist, never mind what’s written on them, until you are at the front of the queue as everyone queuing blocks them. Someone almost had a right go at me once because I went closer to try and squint and read them and they thought I was jumping the queue.

    Randomly, they did put prices on the hotdog stand that didn’t for weeks when it first opened.
