Yeah they have played plenty of pre season matches, a mixed bag -
2-1 loss at home v Leicester
3-1 win v FC Sion away
0-0 v Forest away
3-1 loss to St Etienne away
2-2 v Borussia Dortmund away. Gross played well in this game apparently.
I have bought lounge tickets too, but no real idea why. They are of course the most central tickets , so the best view. Aside from that, yeah I think it's just the slightly nicer bar and maybe a programme?
Is it really only one ticket per ST holder? This is usually the one game per year I take her to as it's stress free, but maybe that's not an option any longer. There's no point her paying for membership.
