this thread is laughable

It's [MENTION=11191]Das Reich[/MENTION] doing his "I might be about to get banned, I better try and fit in for a while" act.

Don't worry, he'll be back to his pseudo-hoolie "I know what's going on, you don't" nonsense in an hour or two, complete with liberal use of the whistling smilie.

Went for 1901 but regret doing that.

Will offload at first oppotunity.

Would be extremely interesting to see how many 1901ers would opt to renew if they were tied into a one year deal instead of a five year deal. A poll might be very instructive and would flag up the level of satisfaction/dissatisfaction with the facilities currently on offer. Might even make the providers of the facility do something about it.

What a ridiculous and pointless thread trying to belittle our great club who for the first time in 110 years have the chance to give fans a different match watching experience. Every match I have been to in the 1901 has been fantastic a great experience and my guests have thought so to. All of them so far can't wait to be invited back. If your Mrs told she was charged 14 quid for 2 pints then sorry but she is telling you porkies . Paul Rogers and his team do a fantastic job and it's worth every penny.

Well your obviously a JCL, otherwise you would have known that the club have acknowledged all of this missing facilities that you describe above and have confirmed that these will be installed during the close season.

Each member will also be assigned thier own michellin starred chef and Tony Bloom will be running a complimentary shoe polishing service at half time, and full time to stop 1901'ers from all departing together at full time.

Don't forget the heated footrail below the seats comes on at the end of October, so we can keep our feet warm during the winter months. (Yes, I know that you would normally expect the rail to be on from the beginning of October, but we have had pretty clement weather, and I am sure we can't begrudge the club a bit of a saving on heating bills).

the prices were a bit steep £14 FOR TWO PINTS OF BITTER TOP ???
???

they got charged an extortionate amount for the lemonade which they obviously refused to pay when the drinks were keyed in at the till this was the price that came up ,

So they weren't actually charged that at all then? That's what 'came up' when the drinks were incorrectly put in - they pointed out the error, and it was fixed? Stop attention seeking.




They are probably bored 20 year olds from the University on £ 7 an hour. Why should they give a f*** ?. If I was in charge of employment I would firstly look for people who had an interest or support of the club and its best interests first. But they don't and I know that.

Think this through. Who is going to be a better hostess - a 20 girl with no interest in football, who is there doing her JOB, or a 20 year old Brighton fan, more interested in finding out the team news, trying to watch some of the game?

(Sorry, very old joke, couldn't resist the simple tap-in. I'll be disappointed with that post :blush: )

Saved me the job of pointing it out.

That's why his prices are a load of old bollocks.

I have 1901 membership and, like others am generally happy with the service / experience.

What I'm much less happy with is how deal seems to have shifted since the initial sales pitch. A major sell at the time was that you would be guaranteed access to your seat for all events held at the stadium (ie including those not managed by the club). Yet for the England U19 game, it seems that you can only use a 1901 lounge if you're prepared to pay the extra for the full hospitality package. If you're not prepared to do this, you pay for a seat elsewhere in the ground like everyone else.

No doubt they've covered their arses in the small-print, but it's not what was initially sold.

Agreed. And I think you may find your seat is now only guaranteed for 'football events' which again is different.

So they only want to 1/4 fill 1901 for this game then? There is no way they could cater for everyone having a meal, or is the full hospitality package something else? I'd imagine they want the facilities for the hangers on of the England team circus tbh
 


Recent 1901 newsletter
