Expensive drinks, a small meal (bangers and mash!) and didn't even get a programme!! Also the host Pete Pennington (apparently from Wire FM and no relative to me!!!) was basically an arrogant berk who treated the audience like idiots, not sure where they dragge him from???
Think the club needs to review the whole package!
Welcome back Casual Des...! Where have you been...?

| I go most weekends in Hospitality and so far the Cats game was the worst. From what I can tell, depending on the size of the game there are seperate levels. For instance:
Leeds - Three course meal, free programme etc
Quins - One course meal free programme
Cats - One course meal and no programme
Should be in there for Celtic so will see how that goes but I think its a curry?

To redress the balance, I have paid for hospitality at the HJ for a variety of occasions and never been disappointed - always had value for money.'"
I'd agree with this 100%. I bet that the original poster didn't bother to contact anyone at the club with his complaint. As for expensive drinks, you know what you're getting before you go. If you don't want to pay the prices, either don't drink or don't go.

| I've been a few times in the East Stand and the food has always been excellent whatever the package and the friendliness of the staff is always 2nd to none. The bar prices are no more than you'd pay in the concourses which I was happy with. I went to the Catalans game in hospitality and had a good experience, was speaking to Michelle and Rhys I think, who look after the hospitality side of things and they said they were doing new initiatives designed at making the packages more affordable to everyday fans. I paid 9.99 for an upgrade and wasn't let down, no programme but hey I didn't expect one for that price. I think for every package you can get £20 off if you're a season ticket holder which covers your match ticket which a lot of other clubs wouldn't do.
I think it's a clever initative aimed at filling lounges, by my reckoning there was over 200 in there for Catalans where as when I've been previously on occasions there's been about 70. Maybe everyone should at least sample the hospitality while there doing these deals, have a good afternoon out and make up your own opinion.

Sounds like "East Stand Hospitality is a success" would be a more appropriate thread title! I've dropped the "is a joke" anyway to allow people to make their own minds up. Constructive criticism is one thing, but we don't want to put people off trying it!

Sorry I didn't say did I, my experience was also good with a well presented and tasty meal, must agree not massive portions but it was good.
I did enjoy my families experience and my original post was regarding the cost not the quality, oh and we got at least two programmes each!!!!!

Wasn't trying to put people off just simply stating that it was a let down.
The guy on stage Pinnington was the biggest let down for his sheer wit alone.
But the club can read the comments and hopefully improve the service, happy days all round.
