Got a call from my pal last night for the full corporate monty tonight. Bait, beer and directors seats. I'll see if I can catch Ellis eye and have a bit crack with him about any other new faces to come. Lol
Been in the boxes a few times, it's a very different experience, best used for games like tonights. Enjoy mate! And dear god get RFM his fixture card!
Used to work on Box level a couple of years ago...just a warning cest The food is horrible and the alcohol expensive.. If your in the durham suite however, lovely food Get a brilliant view of the pitch however
I've been here before a few times and it is the Durham suite and you are right its superb. The seats are only a few feet away from where Quinny (used to) and Short sit as well. However, I have been a regular at events and do's at the SOL for the last 15 years and have to say I have never had a bad experience (and that is at every level provided) whether food or otherwise. Yes the beer prices are silly (are not all such venue the same though) but tonight is 100% on the host. Cest knows best lads. Lol
Where the **** are the Directors if their seats are free? If freeloaders like Cest can sit in their seats, we should seriously consider "boycouting" the club and start talking about sacking the board.
you lucky B iv been once at roker park but never been invited again maybe because we were tucking into steve crams buffet at half time
Great night and well looked after. Very professional performance; 2 fabulous goals from the Jimmy Mac and I got his autograph for my cousins lad on the programme. Sadly Ellis wasnt there so I could ask him what the crack is. Sat a couple of seats along to John Fickling though and made me think how far we have come as football club since his days as a director. He doenst look any different at all but must be a canny age these days? I'd guess early 60's?
Food was lovely last time I was up there! (The alcohol was also free due to the sponsors who put me in the box!!) Well bobby, have you ever seen Cestria and Ellis in the same room at the same time - this could be why
