All kinds of jiggery pokery goes on between airports and airports and airlines and airlines.
We can all argue about it until the cows come home but what cannot be disputed are those astonishing figures I quoted earlier. Agreed. It's not often you can say Teesside whups your ar$e! A certain airport CANNOT be allowed to fail whatever it takes.
It's probably true that EMA have given Walkers such prominence on their "shelves" that it makes it harder for Seabrooks to get a foothold - that is a mistake in my view.
However, if Seabrooks wanted to make a fight of it and pay (as in invest) money in developing their brand at EMA then if they thought that EMA (through MAG) were blocking them they'd be quite right to go running to the competition commission, and I feel sure they would - and they'd win.
Incidentally, can you buy Seabrooks crisps at EMA? Just wondered!
