West Stand Block D - Hospitality only next year?

And only if that game follows a pattern of home game, away game, away game AND you’ve not used your 20% off voucher in the club shop on a Tuesday in September.Leeds_Addick said:No doubt the “drink on arrival” is for one Tuesday night game in the middle of January and the drink is limited to Ribena or tap water

This really is an absolutely terrible idea. Terrible.1

£104 a game5

I can’t help thinking of American sports and how they treat their customers.
I really hope this isn’t yet more Sandgaardism at work.1 -
On reflection, I can only think that there's a looooong waiting list for Club 1905.5

File this under “ideas that don’t work in league 1”
If they want to implement things like this then they should’ve spent the summer preparing for promotion
Theres no chance this goes ahead

That's our current player budget.12 -
Should have made it £1,905 plus VAT. Even got that wrong.

Is any area of the west stand (apart from the boxes) used for hospitality already and if so is it mostly full up?0

Ok - I have clarification from the club
If you are an existing ST in block D you will NOT be asked to move and will remain in situ under normal ST arrangements
Any NEW ST’s wanting to have a seat in block D will have to buy a 1905 package
To be honest, I think block D is completely sold out to ST’s at the moment anyway, as I can’t see any empty seats7 - Sponsored links:

External communications seem to be just used as a form of market research/sentiment analysis at the moment.
Shoddy to say the least.15 -

Wish they'd first consult with me before putting me down for these gigs ffsBEANBAG said:Thanks for your email.
Yes, as of next season WSD will be a hospitality only zone. Only those who are using Club 1905 will have access to match seating in that Block.
Block C will still be sold without hospitality should you not wish to have a three course carvery which is offered in Club 1905. You can book that block through the ticket office ad use the turnstiles as normal to access the seating.
This season a season ticket in Club 1905 is £2000+VAT and that includes the below package for all 23 home league games.
Club 1905
- Drink on arrival
- Three carvery course meal
- Man of the match presentation (when safe to do so)
- Prime seating near the half-way line
- Panoramic views of the pitch
- Training ground tour on one occasion during the season (when safe to do so)
- Club legend
- Dedicated host
£2000 + Vat
Kind Regards,

a three course carvery and a tray of vol au vents?clive said:
Sue Parkes, probably.The Red Robin said:Who wants a three course meal every week at the football?1 -
My money is on this being swept under the carpet and forgotten about.... just like what seemed like plans to charge for the fans bar, which was very briefly mentioned over the summer.

It would make more sense to partition off the old Millennium (which is now Club 1905) and have limited three course meal availability and then just leave the rest of it as it used to be rather than trying to squeeze out existing Millenium fans into the smaller Vista Lounge (West Upper) who then have to walk through Club 1905 to get to their seats anyway…or just leave the KP suite as it was.0
-
There's around 500 seats in the lower west block D.
A classic case of having no idea. Isn't Club 1905 the old Keith Peacock suite? If so think that only has seating for about 60 people.
So that'll be a mostly empty Block D then with existing 'customers' moving to cheaper seats...... hhhmmmmm not the best decision it would seem.
Over £100 a match, blimey, it's going to be a rip roaring seller this.4 - Sponsored links:

This is just another case of doing something when it isn't needed. How many times have we seen this over the years at Charlton.
For a club like us in this league in a stadium that was not newly built with all the corporate sections at the same time, these things don't work and it's so obvious why.
We're not a big enough club who can just sell out or get close to selling out regardless of what league we are in. We are not an Everton or a Newcastle, or a club like Norwich for example who can sell out every week because they have the whole of Norfolk to themselves. If we did, this thing is more likely to work, but it's still not a good idea.
Clubs like Arsenal these sort of seating plans with access to hospitality work because how the ground was built and designed with the corporate stuff all at the same time. There business model is based on revenue from that sector, ours isn't and never has been because all fan bases are different and ours isn't like that. People don't want to pay more money to sit in one area of the ground, when they may have sat in the another part of the ground all there life.
Just because one idea that might sound flash or work at another club, doesn't mean it will work here.

Someone is trying to be a premier league club with a 3rd divison team.
All for increasing revenue but everything is aimed at getting more money from the existing punter. It won't wash.
Who the hell is the target of this?6 -
Millwall last year, similar deal, £107-£131 per game. A division above up the road.0

Think, it just getting blown out of the water.4

Feels like the wrong time to launch this!2

"Drink on arrival" - Is that literally just the one drink?1

Plus you get a Splipknot tribute band serenading you while you eat.6

And to think we used to say Roland 'bought the wrong club'!!1
