Scapegoat Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Definitely will be a supporters bar as well - Alan Hardy said that as well. Sorry about the positive post - but it was a really good evening. Not only did I like the stand and facilities, Barry Owen and Simon Corney were really nice people with a definitely love of the club. That's probably enough to get me barred off owtb .... Edited February 15, 2017 by Scapegoat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the table for 10, £25 or £50 per head? Definitely didn't feel fleeced. Match ticket - £22 Car parking - £5 Programme - £3 Tea/coffee x2 - £3 3 course meal - £30? I think from what I saw last night, some of the boxes (i.e. Table of ten) were doing the pie and peas deal, some were doing the whole thing - so I guess it's your choice (but whole group would have to do the same if guess). Drop Jenny et al an email and they will let you know options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I really need to go for a meal here. Nothing but great reviews I appreciate your money won't go to the club... but I've been to three of the Simon Wood events there and it was absolutely outstanding.

yarddog73 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Get one of the best in the game available to run the kitchen and the results are stunning, it's just a shame the same train of thought goes amiss when we recruit for the football side of the business. Lesson learnt maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind ha. Still haven't managed to convince the missus yet. It's the football thing that puts her off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 A really good night and I'd say great value. Arrive early and park in the carpark, plus to get a programme and a team sheet. All the staff were very friendly, helpful and made you feel looked after throughout the evening. Food was very good - 3 course meal, plus hot drink/chocolates and then hot drinks and biscuits at halftime. Table service for he bar, including pre-ordering your HT drinks to be on your table when you get there. Padded seats - which did make things feel less cold (Mrs Scapegoat particularly impressed by this). A compare does a bit before the game - interviewed a couple of players (Edmundson and Holloway) and then welcomes every table personally. After the game, he interviews MOTM. Me and a mate both took out wives, and against all there pre-concerns (Valentines day at BP?!?) they really enjoyed it and clearly stated they would do it again. We were lucky and sat in front of Alan Hardy and Barry Owen (with Simon Corney just behind) - who instigated conversation and who were true gentlemen and good fun to talk football too for the evening. Alan and Barry both also asked if we'd enjoyed the evening and what we thought of the facility. Also work is about to start on the upstairs, which will be a 400 capacity conference centre. At the end, Jenny comes round and takes each tables photo with the MOTM which is emailed through as a memento. Really really good experience. If you can get 10 of you together I think you can do a box for a similar cost per person - though they were all full last night with companies.

laticsmarra Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Been to several events now and the standard every time has been first class in every respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I appreciate your money won't go to the club... but I've been to three of the Simon Wood events there and it was absolutely outstanding. I went to a Jersey Boys tribute night there a few months ago and the food was the nicest I've ever experienced in my life. Drinks were a bit expensive, but luckily we only live round the corner, so the good lady went home and got a bottle of vodka for her bag...
