That sounds absolutley horrific, anti-football. Tarquin and Penelope at the football. No f***ing thank you.

I've noticed that seats are now sometimes available on a game by game basis (£190 for Forest game) so wondered if anyone who has tried it can expand on the experience for me;

Does it include food and drink ? or do you have to pay

I take it it's not like Man City & Tottenham's tunnel club where you can watch the players line up in the tunnel pre walkout, or is it?

I presume you have access to one of our executive lounges? if so which one?

and lastly, was it good?

My brother got hold of some seats for the Ipswich game (for my dad's 80th), and it was really good (apart from the result). You get a small bar at the back of the West Lower, a buffet meal (curry on Saturday, which was excellent), a complimentary halftime pint, free sweets, and cheese and biscuits after the game. The seats were right by the tunnel, and tight behind the dugouts, so you can hear the grief the fourth official gets from the coaching staff. If I could afford £190/game, I'd be tempted. The only gripe I can find is having to use the normal toilets in the West Lower (with the commoners).

Btw, my aunt came too - she hadn't been since she was 8. She's well into her seventies now

- the players are just the other side of the glass to your right I think but security is everywhere for obvious reasons. If it kicked off you'd get a ring side seat.

thanks for replying, that's what I was looking for, an actual recent review from someone who has been

So for £190 it doesn't really sound that good value, as you could buy a seat just behind in W1DH (directors box area) with access to mayo wynne baxter lounge for £120. Admittedly it comes with no free food or drink but it is £70 cheaper and arguably, provides an even better view.

Yeah good point, not for me.

I'd rather stick to the hotbed of unbridled authenticity that the rest of the American Express Stadium offers, experiencing the seething cauldron of pure undistilled atmosphere that the REAL fans serve up week after week.
