Andy-1 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Anyone who has booked this for the Villa match then try and get your hard earned dosh back. Twenty Four of us all hard working self employed City fans paid £120.00 each (incl vat) for the non pleasure. Queued for more than 45mins to watch a guy hack at the lamb only to be told we have forgotten the gravy!! Food very poor and all of us would have been happier with a pie from Keith outside the Rising Sun! For your Hospitality you also get 6 half pint bottles of Heineken and 1 bottle of wine between 12 on a table, this was brought to us at 2.45pm just as we were taking our seats. Absolute farce, we arrived at 12.30pm! Rant over...just wanted you guys not to waste yer wedge thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollymarie Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 My food was lush in there on Saturday. I even took a pic it was so nice. As you can see, they hadn't forgotten the gravy when I was served. Was mightily impressed as was everyone on our table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had cakes too, and a half time mini pie that was lovely, plus I had a hot chocolate at half time too, which I took back to me seat to finish off.

If it was a free bar, then the argument stacks up, if it was complimentary drinks then it doesn't. If it was a free bar then how do I get involved, my weekend spend can be significant.

Dollymarie Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 We had our first drink free on arrival, then we had to pay. The half time tea/coffee/hot chocolate was free as well but no more alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride of the west Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 120 quid seems pretty steep. That's 90 quid for a bit of meat n veg and half a pint when you subtract the price of match ticket. I'm assuming they're aiming at business who write it off under expenses rather than the average fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
