I also asked about why the club didn't have it's own bar/restaurant for pre match drinks/meals for home fans and the revenue the club could make off this. Again a very lengthy explanation was given and the numbers (£££'s) to open up an establishment at the ground, would make your eyes water.
Plus the restrictions by other retailers who would probably object to RUFC ever opening up such a place, that would in essence affect their matchday businesses. Yes, Steve was very open and honest and I have to say enjoyed the chat with him.
