If you think that's expensive then, based on these prices, dessert with the normal 1901 club meal and a half time pie that nobody wants will set you back another £22 on top. Which is why I've not bothered since the crap meal on the opening day and probably never will again.

i paid £32 to stand behind the goal at portsmouth & £32 to be treated like a criminal at palace.
so on what planet is £15.95 too expensive to enjoy a 2 course sunday lunch at the amex.

I had a brilliant meal in the 1901 in November. Are you basing your entire opinion of it on the opening day, when it was totally new for everyone ?

I paid £1.43 a litre when I put petrol in my car last week but that has nothing to do with the cost of eating a carvery either

that is true but its not the same.

the cost of fuel is a burden the whole nation has to bear.

all i am saying, is that why is it ok to spend £30 to attend an away game but paying £16 for a sunday lunch at the amex is over the top

It has if you drive to the carvery.

Because thirty quid is the going rate to attend an away game, but other Sunday carveries in the area charge much less for the same product. The price won't attract repeat customers.

You're right it was a poor analagy, but you don't get a choice when going to an away match you either pay the ticket price or you don't get in.

However a carvery is a carvery and Azure are charging a premium for something because its at the Amex. If they charged less they would imo make more money due to customer returns.

Hugely improved these days.

No. I've heard plenty of bad reports since too. The opening day meal was truly appalling.. and I'm never going to pay £38 for a meal where there is no choice of main, even in advance.

So has anyone tried the carvery at the Amex yet? Wondering whether to book for a birthday lunch in a couple of weeks.

I'd be more likely to listen to an opinion on something which had settled down into a routine than on one which was still chaotic and in its infancy.

It's a bit like judging Albion's entire season on the first half against Doncaster.

Apologies if fixtures but just received a text from the club


Dear Mr Superbez

Carvery Lunch is now available at the Amex every sunday from 25th March. Two course meal for just 15.95 per person.

Sounds ok? Will give it a bash!

Glad the club have only got my old mobile number to spam.
