All areas the same price. Looks like I will be joining the posh lot up in the SSU. Is there a dress code up there?

 

[MarkG]

Yet again more train strikes.

It is usually frowned upon if one removes one's shirt during the game. Also, don't forget the gratuity for the stewards when they serve one's tea.
Just one other caveat, should you acquire seats in block 11, please remember that head wear should be doffed at the regular incumbents.

Do I need to bring prawn sandwiches if I sit in block 11?

How many can you supply? The regulars can get a bit restless if they feel left out.

Let's hope some of the regulars don't reserve their seat by 5pm tonight and I can steal their seats lol

Edit just read its 5pm on Monday they have until to reserve their seat.

Don't forget the flask and blanket as well.

do the stewards allow them in now?

I remember one fan in the East stand regular as clockwork would have his flask no problem then some jobsworth younger steward told no more, needless to say a few words and the younger steward left with his tail between his legs

I take a drinks bottle in every game as my boy drinks like a fish. I've never been refused in the east stand.

He absorbs liquid through his skin? Blimey. Will make going to pubs later in life problematic.

It's the SSU, dear boy. We do what we please!

Being serious, for a moment, quite a few of the more senior supporters take a blanket with them. Since the demise of the 1893 club there is no half time respite from any inclement weather. Some of the SSU would be unable to attend without some extra warmth. Besides, what's good for the directors is good for us too!

No they serve Vol Au Vents up there.

Vol au vents? So passé.

they initially didn't say Monday, just 5pm, then changed it.

I saw that. At least it made me get our tickets this afternoon.

This guy has a flask of tea or coffee and they were worried that he could burn someone if the flask fell, he’s has a flask in the ground ever since we moved to the kastad

All this business of flasks etc makes me think of Chichester and the Festival theatre. Balmy sunny evening and the car pulls up, the ladies alight and some poor sod is then in charge of setting up a table, chairs and laying said table with cutlery and glasses. Out comes the picnic baskets and a feast ensues. Just in time for curtain up, chap has to pack everything away and escort the ladies to their seats.
All so much more civilised, don't you think?
