1901 Club Rules

[Seasider78]

I've done corporate at a number of away games and never worn shoes and have not had a comment let alone refused entry. In fact in some they allow White trainer(and it wasn't Gillingham!) not that I would own a pair let alone be seen in a pair!

Really?

Leeds
Dress code within the East Stand Boxes is smart casual. Smart denim is permitted within the boxes, however trainers, sportswear and replica shirts are not allowed

Millwall
The dress code for the area is smart/casual, so no jeans, trainers, replica shirts or shorts.

Barnsley
Dress Code: Smart casual, no trainers, no jeans or football shirts

Middlesborough
Smart-casual dress code (smart denim only, no trainers, football colours)

Do I need to go on?

You must of expected a dress code and if such an issue why get a hospitality seat in the first place as it was always going to ran like a corporate area.

Also said the replica shirt point will be voted on by the members at some point

This was mooted in January/February! I won't be holding my breath.

Paul Rodgers is clearly out of his depth in his role. He seems to be making things up as he is questioned. I know a group of three 1901'ers who are seeking legal advice on matters relating to the presentation given and the reality of the 1901 club. It's nothing to do with with dress code either as they are business people!

Absolutely. So the sartorial goalposts may have shifted slightly since people signed up. Big f***ing deal. As has been pointed out this thread should be read in conjunction with the 'Disabled Parking' one where there are people with a REAL grievance about moving goalposts. Being told you might have to wear a slightly different shirt from the one you were expecting to wear isn't even remotely close.

I agree that Paul Rogers seems to be out of his depth. He was fine when it was just a few portacabins at Withdean, but now ...

Disagree. This is a learning experience for everybody.

Sounds like Paul Rogers has just fobbed off a few pointless questions as he should do.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The problem seems to me to be that 1901 Club membership was originally seen by the Club as a "corporate hospitality" product. Unfortunately, it was taken up by many fans as just a good, affordable treat - a seat with a nice view and access to a fancy lounge.

The ruffians have been let in, they've paid their money. This argument is an inevitable consequence.

It could have been avoided if the Club had charged more and kept the riff-raff out.


PS ... what the hell are "smart" jeans?

I'm guessing the ones that that they don't want to see are the ones that look like you've been to a rain sodden glastonbury and look dirty when they are new and clean? Also I can't imagine the ones that show your pants, look 3 sizes too big and hang halfway down your bum, with the crutch at your knees are gonna be acceptable. I reckon smart jeans are either designer jeans or Levi staypressed ( do they still sell those?), old man comfy jeans. Will I get away with unfaded decent fitting blue Levis is what I want to know

At the races, smart jeans is usually defined as "not ripped or torn".

I may dress as a woman. It would take a brave man to tell a woman what to wear!

Hardly pointless to the individual that has asked them.

As I stated in an earlier post slightly disappointed re replica shirt but not the end of the world. The issue for me is getting communication right first time rather than seeming to make it up as you go along, together with consistent messages.

I really doubt that. It's not a members club like The Garrick. We don't have voting rights.

This is more like it. You're entering into the dressing up spirit now. You as a woman, and St Lennard in his oversized comedy clown shoes. Who's next?

smart jeans allow wifi access when you have a dongle in the back pocket

I am bemused as to why anyone would only have trainers once they are over the age of 16 or so.

Frankenstien feet. Mine are size 12 except they're the height-over-arch of a size 14 or 15. Can only wear skate shoes or Puma trainers (just about), nothing else fits properly.

Which, with £1000 down and a five year agreement to pay them a small fortune, will mean that only those who are willing to die for their right to wear polyester are going to consider that. Me, I'll just wear a nice shirt and my grown up shoes and enjoy myself.
