Both on this thread already: https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/threads/the-tunnel-club.401936/
I've been waiting for the longer YT version - it generally takes him a few days to publish that. The Mullery's "review" is here...

Tunnel Club threads are the new Caicedo threads

I'm even more flattered to know I was offered a ticket now I've watched that!

Looks amazing but really shows the divide in this Country between rich and poor.
Decent looking scotch eggs but not £9k worth.

It was an ok afternoon
A master chef (supposedly) - heated padded seats - a food and drink service to your seat - being able to do the look at me to the less well off.
And of course, brag to my associates that I can do this every other week. Obviously not that often - the equestrian in me normally takes priority.
The only real downside that I can see is the fact that a load of very rich bastards are running around kicking a ball - sometimes it even hits them on the head!!!
And a lot of numptys shout and sing obscene songs- absolutely no decorum at all.
And if you get a food or drink order delivered, or you need the facilities, you get shouted at by some of the supposedly richer oiks for obstructing their view of the men running about.
I mean I don’t mind paying the money but you expect a bit of respect.

That glass wall is a divide between the rich and the rich.
My only issue is the ability to order food and drinks in the seats. As has already been highlighted by a couple of posters, this does seem to impinge on other fans/press enjoyment of the game.
It also seems a bit unnecessary given the 5 course pre-match meal.

Every initiative like this I just remind myself that it's making Tony Bloom more money and doesn't affect me one jot.
We're massive now. Milk those rich idiots.

….and for that price forget the coat rail, I want one of those little stools for my man bag as a minimum.

In that video clip the poster seems to be served a pint of beer at his seat - thought this wasn’t allowed ? Maybe it’s shandy
If you think that’s impressive you should see what Tony Bloom built with his money

Dont blame the Albion but when I look back having a Tunnel Club is not something I will be proud of. I love us competing at top level but still miss the days in championship when certain games they would sell some tickets at £15 which gave some the opportunity to attend. How times have changed selling tickets for £500

Perhaps the club would be better off sorting out the catering in the rest of the ground for the 99% of fans who won't be using the tunnel club?
