Done it a few times with my sons and also the school I work at. It varies little in my experience and usually comprises of a tour of the West Stand, both inside and out, conference rooms, directors box, restaurant etc. You will see the press room and also the changing rooms. I like the part when one is led through the tunnel and pitchside. Love it!

Did mine 5 years ago - interesting and informative.

Nothing new added to the trophy room since

A great experience, recommended


I was booked up for the Palarse tour, but they cancelled last minute, and got taken on a tour of Croydon urinals.
Very good

I did it towards the end of last season and there was a fair bit around covid protocol on a match day.

In answer to the OP. Certainly worth doing for 15 quid or whatever they charge.

It's basically a tour of the West Stand. Bit of a 1901 sales pitch at first, then a box, then the restaurant, then it gets more interesting and you do the bits most people don't really get to see. Board room, press areas, changing rooms, warm up area. Ends up in the small but really well put together museum. I know previously on here a few people moaned they didn't get very long in the museum but we may have been lucky as the lady showing us round told us to take as long as we wanted.

About 10 years ago for me, but as others have said, very little has changed since then. I imagine the current tour is pretty much identical.

Very enjoyable nontheless.

No different to a normal day then? ive heard you hang out around public toilets quite a lot.

Does anyone know if the ball Leon Knight scored with a penalty in the play off final is on display?

Makes a mental note . . . Never get caught short in Ruislip.

Not sure, but Ulloa’s is still on the roof.

I did it as a birthday treat a few years back, really enjoyed it - I'd recommend.

Did you get that disease sorted out in the end

Sorry you're fibbing

It's a great experience, did the tour with a mate and we bumped into Ulloa in the dressing room (he was on loan at the time). Strangely none of the other dozen people on the tour appeared to be fans of the Albion.

 

[Is it PotG?]

For anyone brave enough, there's a Spooktastic one on offer for the end of the month.

 

[Gabbafella]

Did it when the stadium first opened as the guide was a friend of the family and we got it for free.
I'd like to go again as I can imagine a fair bit has changed, it was still a bit of a building site back then.
Changing rooms was cool and walking out of the tunnel. I'd recommend it.

Coming to the Amex for the first time tomorrow, how much the stadium can you see on a match day?
Can you walk the whole concourse?
Any tips for the best experience, apart from a win of course.
Only in the country for a week, so going to City on Saturday, We haven’t been to an away game since 2006, is it safe to wear colours?
