As I stated in the other thread today I tried the club's Blue Lounge hospitality for the first time.
I was greeted by the lovely Gill who explained the procedure for the carvery meal and was served the starter of Crispy Chicken Fillets with a sweet chilli and mayo dip.
I chose the wonderful homemade Lasagne for the Main Course and Bread and Butter pudding for Desert.
The meal was of very good quality and couldn't be faulted.
Brian Dear was the host for the day and both Steve Kavanagh and Brian Wheeler stopped by for chats and everyone was made to feel welcome.
The military representation and silence preceded by the bugler playing the Last Post was very good , seeing the many flag-bearers from different military organisations was a massive improvement from the usual minute or two's silence. It seemed to mean more to people and was immaculately observed.
To be honest I have never liked sitting in the East Stand preferring the views from the South Upper but who could moan about the complimentary cushions on the seats in the area I sat in. I will not give a match report other than to say the football was much better than several recent games and was entertaining and we were unlucky not to win.
Half time coffee was appreciated and post-match return to the Blues Lounge for a drink and chat rounded off the very good experience ---- the only thing to improve the day would have been an extra 2 points.
I thoroughly recommend the Blues Lounge hospitality to anyone thinking of having a pre-match treat and today's price of £35 each was a real bargain.
PS The club have not paid me in any way, shape or form for this blatant advert.
The hospitality package today was wonderful, with work and a bit of time I am sure the club will improve catering in bars round the ground as that and improved performances on the pitch must increase crowds and income.
