Yes,I agree with the car park comments, seemed excessive to me. Apart from that (and the disappointment of no pies) the kids really enjoyed it. Enormous queue to see Ulloa, so disappointed to miss Greer and Calderon. Didn't spot Oscar either which was a shame. Chatted to Bridcutt, Ashley Barnes and CMS.
Oscar appeared at the autograph bun-fight.
10 seconds in he said he wanted a straight line in single file.
He pushed past me, happiest day of my life, on the edge of the Calde scrum, to get some help.
Within a minute Oscar got exactly what he wanted and was still signing 90 minutes later.

It was a tremendous afternoon. The autograph sessions were well run (loved stats comment above). Oscar was a gentleman
Father Christmas was good but if you didn't get there early it may have been not worth the queue. Bruno and Orlandi were the elves when we went in. It was a case of 'oh there's santa......but there's something much better outside the grotto' for my kids.
Roller disco looked good and the toddler play area was well received.
So a free party and just 5 pound to park. Can't complain about that

When tickets were booked online it displayed the car parking at 5gbp so I booked it as part of the same package

Up the Albion!
We parked elsewhere and walked as had heard it was £10. Brilliant afternoon, like a treasure hunt hunting for the different players and meeting them and our favs. Shame we couldn't find some if them. They did a great job signing autographs and posing for pics all that time.
My mrs wants to see a photo of Orlandi dressed as an elf. Anyone?

I caught a glimpse of the squad last night at Heathrow on my way home for the holidays. Must have been a long weekend for them.

Great time for my kids. My son loved the AITC kickabout/shooting part in the WSL concourse, and my daughter went autograph/photograph collecting. Managed to bag Kuszczak, Ince, Brezovan, Ulloa, Barnes, Mackail-Smith, Lua Lua and of course Oscar himself. All in all I was pretty impressed with the attendance and attitude of the Albion players, especially given that it was the day after an away match.

Something the club does very well.
Thank you Albion.

£10 for us to park. However it was more than worth it as Youngest Potting got the chance to meet her hero, KLL, point out that her replica shirt has his number on it and get his signature on said shirt.
Also got Calderon, Bruno, CMS, Greer, Ince, Barnes and Brezovan sigs (how tall is he, I'm 6' 3" and felt short against him) and pics. Didn't spot Bridcutt or Orlandi, the queue for Ulloa's signature was massive. Enjoyed last year, enjoyed this more as we spotted more players. Did wonder what the point of the penguins was but they did seem to have many people looking at them including some from the Club (youth team?) one of whom was keen to get his pic.taken with them!
Well done club and, as someone had mentioned already, to the players who had already had a busy weekend.

I took my 10 year old son to the party and he had a great time, got some good photos of him with Oscar and some of the players, he also got plenty of autographs.
As said above the attitude of the players was brilliant, Ashley Barnes was signing and having photos taken for ages, came accross as a very nice bloke.
It was funny seeing Penguins in the Harveys lounge.

Thought it was free, as two FREE tickets arrived. On arrival was charged £10 for the Car Park!
Still, the boys had a great time.

I thought parking was free. We definately didn't pay to park!

My boy really enjoyed it yesterday and got plenty of autographs, but one has stumped me as to who it is, and I cannot find any record anywhere... Signed it with squad number 32. Any ideas who it may be?

Think 32 is Walton

Good shout, but its not Walton. Googled him and he's nothing like. I'll see if I can add the pic I took.
