If you get the chance, do it!

My 21st birthday was yesterday and we booked a table in the Wright and Lord Suite and I must say how fantastic it was. We were made to feel completely welcome by all the staff who couldn't do enough for us, the food and drink was absolutely superb and the seats close to the dugout were great. Gillingham equalising was the only sour point on an otherwise top day, and great value at 35 pounds (I think) per person for 5 hours of entertainment.

A cracking birthday and may I say thank you to everyone who made it so.

I suppose you didn't have a dry pie like some of us

did the 35 quid include all your food, drinks, and match ticket

And any reserved parking space by any chance mate on site ?

Don't be silly! I would think VAT will be added as well.

Had pie and peas in the bar today. excellent and had gravy on it.

be better when they are doing proper Sunday lunches in there as well as meals on lunchtimes during the week.

I passed tonight and they have a sign out on the main road advertising the lounge bar was open

Looks like it is getting better

well said harry,good to see something positive on here.its a shame that the snipers(potatohead+seasonsinthesun)had to respond in the negative as usuall.they call themselves 'supporters'! unbelievable

35 quid includes seats, food, tea and coffee and parking spaces. Wine (which was very good) is an extra.

So, I'm a sniper now am I?
Here are the facts, not opinions.
Fact 1: There were no peas and gravy, hence I signed the petition, did you?
Fact 2: There were only pies available under Block D, therefore my comment about dry pies is true.What is available to Harry and friends in corporate executive land may be better.
Fact 3: It will be really cold in winter in the main stand, if that breeze coming in last Saturday is anything to go by.
Fact 4: Marky no.1 is a top bloke, as he makes the effort to go to every game, home or away.

Read it and re-read it, I can't work out what is "negative" about asking a straight forward question? If anything, it opened up an opportunity for a further positive comment explaining what good value it was.

sorry keith,i read this board a lot but post rarely.the 2 members i mentioned earlier have sniped all through the summer about the new ground and many other things.i am certain that they have contributed to the loss of mark s from this board and im sure others as well.in future i will ignore their moaning and treat them with the contempt they deserve.
just to add that i did not criticise marky no1 at all,he is obviously a true fan and is always positive.
i rest my case.

We have a table for 12 booked for the Bury game + transport from the sticks and back £50 all in.
Not sure as yet what time to set off 12.30 or 13.00

That's a bargain at £4 a head Cass I would get there for 1pm if I were you.

I wish..

You're arriving very early.. match starts at 7.45.p.m.!

I would still aim for 1 anyway

Cass I hope you know Bury is on a Tuesday night? In which case get there for 6

I've tried to book stuff up there but no-one ever got back to either myself or my cousin who was also trying!

It certainly looked spot on though (peering through the window )

Having read, re-read, and re-re-read your post, I think I now have a loose understanding of your point. I think this North Korean attitude is marvellous, and will benefit all of us in the future, keep up the good work! I have taken the time to translate your post so that (hopefully) more people will be able to understand your central point.
PS I would struggle to post so lucidly in North Korean so well done.

al1, do not know what your beef is with me, marks is a good freind of mine, he takes me with a pinch of salt, and he knows i am down there week in week out, i do not know seasonsinthesun, but reading his posts, he comes across as a regular fan that is entitled to an opinion, my query on this topic has given myself a very positive answer to the meal deal, i will be sending seasons a pm to see if he or she fancies a table for two at the next home game

Dragofly and mrpotatohead are one


am i right

very wrong, I could never aspire to be that great man

From what I've heard, this corporate thing is very expensive, and let's face it,Mr.potato head,
we are just seen as a couple of snipers who have spent the summer being negative about the new ground and many other things, according to al1.
I'll see you in the bar someday, Marky no.1.knows who I am.

How much was the pie, peas and gravy in the bar? I heard someone complaining it was an extra 80p for gravy.

Sounds like harry got a bargin at £35 all in I thought it was £50 per person like Cas says, going in the hospitality for the Shrews ame lookin forward to it.
