[Albion] Any 1901 members thinking of taking up the "The Dugout" offer?

Sounds like one of those ideas that have come across from the good old US of A.
Whooping and hi fiving each other when the Albion scores a touch down :shootself:

Another revenue stream chiselled out of consumers, part financing our purchase of quality ACM’s and a RB this summer. Wait a minute.

How many times does the club have to explain that it can’t go on relying on TB’s cash and that any good business model should seek to maximise its revenue?

Will "The Dugout" offer have these comfy seats?

40 seats behind the bench with it's own sports bar .

Expected to sell out to 1901 members but if not probably thrown open to the rest of the ground?

Free shirt with every sign up, which you can wear in the dugout

From £47 a month

Haven’t had chance to read thread, but surely £47 extra For an obscured view, of the manager and his team are standing

Agree. Not for me but it’s a neat idea.

I wonder if they will put a Perspex roof over the seats and turn it into a proper dug-out?

See post #15. The actual team dug outs are in line with rows 1-3, 4-6 are for non-playing squad members/staff. The new "Dugout" rows will be 7-10. You might have a small area of the pitch very near to the touchline obscured by standing managers and co, but I doubt it'll be a big problem. Being close to the benches is one of the selling points in any case.

So who is going to own up to suggesting this would up a good idea to the club and this is what is missing from their matchday experience, particularly given the stick that City and Spurs have had for introducing this type of thing.

I'll hazard a guess the thought of wearing a #VoteTimmy T-Shirt in front of a global TV audience might have sparked the idea.

Sounds a bit like baseball where you can sit behind the pit and make “ hilarious faces” at the pitcher

How our sides split every time.

Any more great ideas that the club can screw more money out of the fans? How about having fans being able to be a ball boy or girl for 15 minute slots...?

If only it wasn’t compulsory (and probably sold out by now). Go play golf ��

I think it is a great idea and it will, if not already, sell out. The only thing not to like is when it rains, otherwise it's a winner. The only other thing is how does 6 seater booths go into 40? And, if I went with a mate, I won't, I'm not 1901, will I be forced to sit with strangers? ����

All makes money for the club. Still plenty of tickets available generally for everyone that wants to go so no big deal. Seems a good idea. As we’ve got a Chairman who’s evidently not in this for the money, anything that can be done to put a bit more cash in the pot can only be a good thing, surely?
