Founders bar

The Beautiful Game said:
As one of the season card holders turfed out of the black cats bar, this place is dreadful. Absolutely not worth the money. Crammed in like sardines. Three tills on at the bar. Forced through the rammed concourse every time you need a piss. Waste of cash. Wont be renewing in there next year. Not a patch on the BCB and twice the price.

£168 for one match too, mental.

Definitely doesn't seem worth the price like. How much was the BCB?

The bar itself I don’t mind, I got served easy enough, from getting up from my seat at half time I managed to get served, drink me pint, have a piss and was back out for the second half, the only issue I have is our seats are absolutely shite, on the goal line 9 rows up, couldn’t really see what was happening for our goals.

Black cats was about £850 from memory. Founders is £1200 i think but we got £200 discount. Only went for it because I live North Yorks now so when I go I spend a bit more time either side to catch up with mates etc. One of those got priced out of it when we were turfed out and we couldnt find three seats together so he jacked it in. Just a really crap experience which is a shame because on the pitch its as good as its been.

Doesnt look worth it to me but they did spruce the bogs up on concourse where I go for HT pint.

Aye they've painted them a bit. But now you’ve got the issue of all the people in that area using those bogs as well as all the people in founder bar that are scattered all over the shop.

It's £40-£46 in the PC on match by match.

Tbf it was £200 discount on the early bird price so might have gone up even higher. Either way, its not worth it and its a definite downgrade on the experience. Made even worse by the fact our group who've gone together for a decade ended up being broken up by it.
 
Seems neither 76 Yards nor Founders have fully hit the spot for “entry level” hospitality.
Better seats and dedicated toilets needed for Founders it would appear.
Maybe free pies in 76 ?

That’s a shame, I thought it was decent for the (albeit inflated premier league) price when we had a look round, and when went in there for the Cov play off first leg.

But, the seats and toilets put us off and we bit the bullet and stayed in the new black cats.

If it’s so shit, any chance you can try and negotiate an upgrade….there’s space in 76 yards and they might be open to you moving back in at the original price, if you’re prepared to pay a bit more.
 
I sit near the founders bar...all you need is a wristband to get in..easy to knock up if you wanted :lol:
 
The 2 seats next to me have apparently been turned into use for the Founders Club. Thankfully, I’ve had extra legroom as both seats have remained empty for the initial home games. 👍

You have to pay for food and drinks......the ticket price only gives you access into the bar.

Mags game sold out or still available?

You can't buy online the hospitality for that game so can't tell which of the 3 hopitality areas are sold out, begining of the season it said that you needed a purchase history this season to be able to purchase but then they removed it

To book this fixture please contact the Premium Experiences team on [email protected] or alternatively you can call 0371 911 1555 Option 1 to speak to one of the team during office hours.
 
Should be £150 all your drink included and a burger

We should definitely offer summit like that would sell out all the time

Plenty other PL clubs do

To be fair, it looks like it’s selling very well regardless. Half the games are sold out. At a guess, the ones that aren’t are probably all matches later on in the season. They don’t need to offer a different option that will cost them money if people will pay the current asking price.

I’d imagine next season will be a new scenario for everything, regardless of which league we’re in. Novelty factor will wear off for some & cost might be a factor also.

That's shit
The whole reason for hospitality is so it's relaxed. Easy to get a beer and go to the toilet.
So you share a toilet with those in the concourse and dont have your own?
