Scott,
Without wishing to dampen your enthuasium, BUT have you ever been to the FES????
If not suggest you come down at look at our homely facilities.
Currently we have the Gazelle Lounge ( capacity 30) the Boardroom (capacity 20) , the Sponsors Loundge ( capacity 30) and the Social Club (capacity ( around 200). There are no kitchens or catering areas, just several pie warmers.
We currently cannot fill the Gazelle Lounge every match, although the commercial department have all matches and match balles sponsored.
At the moment the big priority is to provide bars for the Clayton End and the Coppice End to provide additional comfort for our loyal fans and maximise income.
What it appears you are suggesting is to close the bar to provide expensive meals for the priviledged few.
Sorry pal, get real this is Accrington were the vast majority of our loyal fans, football is the treat.
If you want to see how not to run coperate facilities go to Bury FC. They have two resteraunts seating 120. They cannot fill these on a regular basis and now if you sponsor the match in includes a meal at twice the previous price.
Going forward, lets keep it simple and keep all functions inhouse at prices all can afford
