Does anyone know what time this opens before the game please? My mate won a couple of tickets from a fundraiser for Ukraine for tomorrow night. I've not been in there before. Is there a dress code. Collar and tie? Is food provided? Thanks for any info. Never been in their before.
It opens a couple of hours before, there's no dress code as such, just don't wear shorts or ripped jeans etc (smart casual). There's no food or drink provided, but there's food and drinks for sale if you want any and it's decent (you used to have to stand up and eat in the past, but there's barely anyone in there nowadays so you'll have no trouble getting a table).
I’ve only been in there once (our last game against Luton). You have to pay for food and drinks. Dress code is smart-casual.
Thanks a lot lads. You've saved me from the embarrassment of turning up in a very unfashionable suit. The only tie to my name is for funerals. Looking forward to the match. It will be nice to get a freebie. Can't afford to get to as many games these days since I split up with my missus during Lockdown. Kids have to come first. Appreciate the info. Cheers.
Don't look a total scruff and you'll be fine. Free programme & team sheet, decent full bar, clean toilets without a queue, access to stadium wifi, tvs with sky. Padded seat in West Stand. If your freebie doesn't include the pie& pint deal then food is about £6.50 - usually something like pie&chips or curry with veggie version & the trimmings. Good quality and portion size. There's an MC who does an intro, there'll be an ex-player who gives his opinion pre and post match. You'll also get the Man of the Match coming in afterwards to do a brief hello and interview. Last time I was in there Nick Barmby was in having a pint, you may spot other ex-players like Waggo either in there or in the seats of West Stand. Some away fans also in there too. Blew the last of my team card points on the Circle restaurant deal, now *thats* an upgrade - 3 course meal, sausage rolls at half time, cheese & biscuits post match, table service for drinks. Same MC & guests, they must bob up and down the lift all afternoon. Agreed we may do it again once a season for something a bit different, but its not the same as being in our normal seat surrounded by all the usual suspects. The routine and rhythym of the day is all wrong!
