Thinking of splashing out and spending a match in either one of the lounges.
So,
What do I get for my money?
Do the tickets sell out quickly?
Is it worth shelling out for?
Dress code?
Cheers.

I've often wondered thought about this, why there is no information on the club website is just beyond me.

Tickets are usually around the half way line in the SSU and you get free tea and coffee at half time I believe? No dress code that I am aware of and there might be a parking space thrown in but not 100%.

Got in the directors box once as a raffle prize. Definitely worth a look. We weren't allowed to wear footy shirts but that may have changed and is probably not applied in the lounges . We got a parking space free program and tea and coffee at half time. We also had a very nice meal in their before the game but I suppose I have to pay a bit extra for that

Thanks for the reply. Probably give it a miss then. We had a box against Pompey,we went in the Maurice Evans lounge after the game,seemed like the average age of the clientele was about 70.But you do get a ex player hosting the lounge,we had Jeremy Charles,as I know Charlo from his days drinking in the Oak in Wantage,I enjoyed it. But not everyone's cup of tea.

Dunno what I was expecting with a lounge ticket really. Just be nice to be in the warm come winter. No info on official website. Suppose I should 'phone up and ask.

Manor and Maurice Evans lounge's. One either side of the Directors box, seat in the front three rows of SSU. Seat is a regular plastic one, no restrictions on normal football attire, tea/ coffee and biscuits at half time. Programme and parking space included. Ex or current footballer will pop in for a couple of minutes, Ray Grayson, Joey Beauchamp, etc. Hoskins did the rounds yesterday. Handy when it's cold to get in the warm before the game and at halftime. Only draw back is catering is by Firoko staff who couldn't organise a coach for a busman's holiday.
For the Directors box you would have to be correctly attired, smart casual a minimum, padded seats, blankets for those in need, etc.
Hope that helps

Was lucky enough to be invited into the Directors box on Saturday with some bits and bobs We've got going on with the club.
Suit and tie, decent food, Cheese and biscuits at half time, had a brief chat with the new owners, met lots of people I'd never met before and very well looked after by the staff in there. Top day out but I'd still pick the East stand to watch the game from!
Worst bit was having to restrain myself a bit because I was sat behind Mickey Adams :-D

Hope that helps Do u get tea and coffee before the game as well, what sort of food is on offer, and does every ticket get a parking space. Sorry for all the questions thinking of giving it a go next game.

After the last time a rather militant, slightly tipsy group got involved in a heated discussion with some twunk (sponsor) who was having a crafty fag outside "our" box we are unlikely to be invited back!! lol It was alright but not great value for money.
