Unbelievable car parking taken away from 1901 club members, now called Car Park A and only open to sponsors or partners and box holders, seem to remember a 5 yr lease on seats with parking in Bennetts Field if you had 2 season tickets,

Told ya last year they'd do this. Quite sneaky if what you say is true but not vaguely surprised. Not that I care, it was a nightmare parking spot anyway.

I wonder what shenanigans will be pulled to get better corporate seating when 1901 renewals are due.

One for PB I reckon if it really does renege on what you signed up for.

Think to be fair they said parking would be provided not stated as Bennetts Field,. Personally prefer the university as you get to stretch your legs and you can get away quite quick.

Really not worth worrying about, unless you struggle with the walk. The Uni parking is 100x better. Getting out of BF is just not worth it.

Let it go.

I asked for clarification on this some time ago, PB has put it in writing that no 1901 members seats will be affected, in response to my question about to club wanting to move 1901 members to other seats to accommodate corporate guests he responded; "This is nonsense" and further into his reply "we already offer match-by-match hospitality in one of our 1901 lounges; this will continue - and it doesn't affect existing 1901 members seats in any way"

Bennetts Field was introduced as a last minute addition. Leading up to the opening of the Amex the 1901 Club parking had always been indicated to be in the university car parks.

That's interesting, we'll have to see what happens. If we are at the arse end of the division come renewals it probably won't be an issue anyway and if we are up the top or promoted the renewal cost will probably be eye watering with quite few drop outs. Cynical, moi?

It will also be interesting to see how long the renewals are for, can they go to just one season at a time? I haven't read the small print.

With all due respect the 5 year memberships in 1901 are up for renewal and if there is a whiff of promotion in the air the new set of prices could be interesting.

Bennetts field is terrible to get away from. You are much better off elsewhere. If you are not too good walking there are free buses running backwards and forwards to the Uni.

That wasn't even what was being discussed, but yes, I'd expect so. Was informed today that the new packages will be announced in December 2105.

With any luck it will be better for not having the 1901 ( I'm more important than you ) crew in there to be honest, Gave up on that place because of the arrogance in there.

I think the PRICE HIKES will be ENOUGH to see to that!

In the sense it's apparently going to take 90 years for them to provide info for 1901 renewals.

Haha, I see what you mean, what I in fact meant was December 2015.
