Tigers Club Bar Prices

The Tigers Club Committee has been reviewing all aspects of the running of the club, with a view to ensuring that it runs effectively and profitably, and ultimately improves the experiences of its members and visitors. In the longer term, work is planned to change the roof structure to eliminate the channel which has resulted in leaks from time to time, and to providing new toilet facilities.

Running costs have increased exponentially in recent years – heating, lighting, non-domestic business rates, water rates, insurance, maintenance, staffing etc – and we’re always striving to provide a service to our supporters, and hopefully make some contribution to the football club as a whole.

Recently we have been looking at the bar prices, and note that some products, particularly cans and bottles, are barely profitable. For members these products have been sold at £2, which give a gross profit margin below that which even not-for-profit clubs would expect. This price has been in place for at least six years, and is not sustainable. From this weekend the price of cans and bottles will increase to £3 for members, with an uplift for non-members.

Draft beers and ciders and other products are not as significantly under-priced, and will be reviewed over the next couple of weeks.

Even taking these prospective price increases into account and given our experiences on our Away travels, please be assured that we will still compare very favourably to the prices charged at other grounds.

At the last match we introduced the App2Tap dispenser in Big Al’s, and although we had some initial teething problems, these have been addressed, and you can now obtain a nice cold draught pint whilst still enjoying the match.

App2Tap Discount Codes For Members & Season Ticket Holders

Last week we announced that we installed 2 new App2Tap self serve machines in Big Als Bar, dispensing Madri and a Carling Dark Fruit, see the article here. There were some teething problems, but we believe these have now been resolved.

Currently Members and Season Ticket Holders get a discount in the Social Club when making a purchase on certain products.We are now extending the discount for Members and Season Ticket Holders to these machines, so if you use them a discount will be applied to a purchase.

To obtain the discount a discount code has to be applied to the App2Tap App. We have created a discount code for every Season Ticket Holder and Member, these discount codes are unique for each person and can only be used on one App2Tap account.

Over the next few days we will be emailing out to every Season Ticket Holder and Member, whom we have email addresses for, whcih will be anyone that purchased their Season Ticket or Membership via the FanBase App, to give them their discount code. The email will also contain instructions on how to apply it to the App2Tap App.

There are a number of Season Ticket Holders and Members, whom we don’t have email addresses for, those are the ones who purchased theirs over the phone, on in person at the Football Club. For those people they can obtain their discount code by requesting it from the Football Club in person. A list of names and discount codes will be produced and you can ask the following people for it, you will have to provide your email address when doing so;

  • Tony Spencer
  • Andrew Deacon
  • Pete Ainger

 

 

He’s Back

We are delighted to announce the return of Callum Spooner who rejoins the club on a permanent free transfer from Southport FC

After leaving in the summer, Callum is back, and made his 104th appearance, after making his second debut at Ilkeston last night.

Nick Spooner said ”Callum became available and once we knew that we decided to make a move and after the success of his last spell here it was a no brainer”

Callum said ”I wasn’t enjoying it as I would have liked at Southport and I’ve always been keeping an eye out on results so I’m pleased to be back”

Fixture Change

Our scheduled away fixture at Gainsborough Trinity on Tuesday 29th October is now off due to the Lincolnshire sides involvement in the FA Cup First round.

After discussions between both sides and the League it has been decided that to give Gainsborough the best preparation it is to call the game off.

A date for the re-arranged fixture will be announced in due course.
