Heineken lounge

Presuming you've already got an ST you're paying £70 quid to have 90 minutes to drink selected drinks 'Designated drinks range – Heineken, Dark Fruit Cider, Fosters, House wine by the glass and soft drinks' ?

Nice idea and worth it probably if you've not already got a ticket but not for me ta.
 
Seems a bit pricey tbh and I’m not sure what is essentially ‘all you can drink’ is the best route to take.

That being said I’m interested to see if the demand is there. Hope it doesn’t end with me and the old man shifted from our seats at the rear of the Armfield come seasons end.

We were hoping something like this would happen but that it would be a standard pay bar on a yearly membership basis.

You can upgrade if you've got an ST. The most you'd pay is 50 notes for a Cat A game.
 
I don't like any of the drinks options unfortunately. 🤣

And 'all you can drink' isn't a smart move, surely?
 
Pay as you go Premium Pies as well. I take it these are different to the ones being sold in the concourses as according to a recent OP they are awful!
 
its great that the club are constantly developing and looking at new ideas - probably work out cheaper for me when I come across with my two lads - the feckers haven't bought a pint yet
 
I thought it was reasonable until I realised that it didn't include a meal.... I'm struggling to grasp why anyone would want to pay all that money for the opportunity to get free access to low quality drinks for 90 minutes...
 
...and be refused admission into the stadium because you've had too much to drink and are pissed. Sorry to say but for me it seems a poorly thought idea. Seriously who drinks £50 of booze in ninety minutes?
 
£40-£50 upgrade on my ST that’s 5.3-6.6 pints per hour based on £5 a pint to draw anywhere close to even. I’d never make the match & if I did I’d spend more time wobbling to the gents 😂
 
Unless you're going to have 10 pints in 90 minutes it seems like really poor value, if food was included it would be better, but still not great imo.
 
You would think that maybe next season it would become an option for south stand season tickets, an upgraded price to access the lounge pre and post match and at half time. Clearly limited numbers, but not at the equivalent of an extra £50 per game.
 
Agree with the above, seems a strange decision.
Anyone know which block it's at the back of? Hopefully it's not U/T.

It was wasted space but I've been saying for a while it could have been a soft refreshments area - near family blocks, and free up space from main bar. As someone says above it could have also been a bottle bar.
 
Yeah think they should include some food for that price... even if its just pie and peas. Still not great but something. Could even throw in some bombay mix or parched peas :)

Bit if it's limited numbers and does well then ever credit but let's see.

Talking of space what is at the top of the North, is this NHS or is it used? Presume must be used but bar up there would be great and much needed.
 
I’ve been supportive of pretty much all the club are doing but this one is a cock up….Far too expensive…
Also I’m sure on last seasons plan I saw a block of seats a different colour at the back, in front of what will be the bar….I bet people will get moved from their S/T seats before next season starts….

If I'm honest would rather the club sort out getting served the regular punter not trying to make some extra coin on this.

I'd given up spending in the North but tried the half time pre paid system on Saturday utter waste of time my lad who went down early took 20 mins to get served thought the idea was to pre pour the orders?
 
If it was a guinness lounge with decent food, I'd think about it.

tbh, last Saturday a soup lounge would have been more welcome.

A couple of drinks vouchers and a food voucher in a half decent lounge with limited numbers wouldn't be a bad idea, pitched at the right price.

As it is I think it will get a decent take up based on novelty, but then I can see numbers dropping off. The secret is to get people to keep coming and the lack of vfm side will come through.

A good idea and not set in stone, so hopefully it can evolve into something decent.

Then you are using it wrong. You don’t queue at all for pre paid you walk straight to the front and give them your ticket.

You couldn't Saturday there was that many who had pre ordered you had to queue it was chaos with people arguing with each other trying to fight there way to the front.

You're already in the stadium. I presume they'll enter the South from the top where there are a number of doors into the suites.

And who drinks £50 of booze in ninety minutes? Anyone going to Wembley who orders two pints 🤣 🤣

Yep, was meaning more where you're gaining access to a seat to watch the game.
 
Pissed up 10-pinters entering the stand at the top of the steps and loads of people walking up them to their seats.

I sense a few people getting skittled down the steps.
 
A promotion/corporate deal too far poorly thought out in today's day and age ... We even have an added time sponsor now FFS ,......
