1901 Club questions from a newbie!

[Stat Brother]

Surely it can't be too hard to dress just smart enough.

 

[casbom]

Cheers for the confirmation, found out we're in 1901 (still don't know whether South or West)

Why would anyone wear trainers to a football match anyhow?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

In answer to the OP it's a shirt with a collar, no sports gear, no sports shoes.

Do you need a collar? The dress code states collared shirts are "acceptable", but doesn't state they're mandatory or that it's necessarily "not acceptable." to not have one. I have McQueen and Ralph Lauren tops which have no collar but have never presented a problem with entry.

As another poster has said it's not too difficult to look smart once in a while.

Do you need a collar. The dress code says this is desirable, but doesn't say it's mandatory. I have a McQueen and Ralph Lauren tops which have no collar but have never presented a problem with entry.

If sartorial elegance is observed then you'll be fine, as well you know. However, if you have to ask what constitutes acceptable compliance with a dress code, then it's best to spell it out to ensure no misunderstanding. It would be a huge shame to be turned away and miss out on your first time in 1901.

Not a big fan of their preppy college stuff but they always have a couple of bits I like every year.

Did you get that lap top bag in the end?

 

[Neecha]

I managed to snag a ticket into a Corporate box, so I'm just wondering is there still a smart dress criteria? i.e have to wear a collar and shoes (not trainers)?

Any idea what is included when I get there?

Cheers

ps I did try the search function but I couldn't find what I was looking for!

1901 code for this vital clash is actually fancy dress on this occasion. YMCA is the theme

 

[Chicken Run]

Au contraire. We have had and email telling us the dress code will be rigorously enforced probably after the shorts and matching espadrilles incident at the Wolves match.

My self and Malcolm will be wearing tweed in the Mayo Wynne Baxter. Look out for us at the Baccarat table

Ahh, so your on the Persian's table are you, sat next to him many times on the coach to Gillingham......

 

[Beach Hut]

Did you get that lap top bag in the end?

Yes and disgraced myself by your standards as a Ted Baker one at Heathrow

1901 yes a box I think u wear what u like

Incorrect. Last season I went to my old MDs box a few times. On one occasion u was refused entry because I had a v neck jumper on. I was told I HAD to have a collar. Bloke wouldn't have any of it. I had to get Dodge to wave me in.

Collar, smart shoes. Job done

You have to measure your cock against the coffee cups to ensure status at the banquet table.
