That all looks acceptable but if I am signing a 5 year term I don't expect to be open to an annual increase as well.

It's rather than a hefty increase at the end. I'd prefer it..

5-10% a year would be pretty hefty and there is no guarantee that won't be what happens if we get to the promised land? I'd much rather know exactly how much I am paying before signing up for 5 years.

I suppose I should know this, but in return for locking him/herself in for five years what benefits does an ordinary 1901 Club member have over, say, a STH in East Stand Upper? (ESU has a view of the pitch very similar to that in 1901land.)

I think my seat is one of the best in the stadium (don't we all think that though!!), right on the halfway line and I prefer the view from WSL than middle or upper. The free programme is nice but not a big deal. I like the lounge with seats and tables rather than a concourse (old *******). All cup games included in the price. That's about it really :shrug:

It used to be a fixed price for the five years too. Seems the goal posts may have been moved on that one. If so I think we should only be tied into a yearly contract rather than 5 years.

Don't you get free tea and coffee as well?

Yes, do you. My cats produce better. It's warming on a cold day but that's about it.

Honestly, speaking as someone who occasionally gets a freebie in the 1901, it really isn't that much better than literally anywhere else in that ground, either in terms of the view or the facilities in the lounge. If anything you get served far more quickly on one of the concourses than you do in those bars.

I've sat in 1901 once and along with being shocked at the price for a Cheeseburger, I wasn't overly impressed.
If I had the money I'd probably do it though.

Just for the lanyard.

That last sentance is not true.

Actually. I'll elaborate and say I think Barber has called this one right. Well done.

Only at half time. The milk and sugar is on the most rickety tables they can find so lots of spillages ( I can only assume that this is a joke by the catering staff). The queues are slow moving and they often run out and you end up burning yourself tilting the massive urns trying to squeeze the last drop out whilst waiting for the replenishments. Oh what fun we have in the 1901 club.

I am in 1901E
I first watched the Albion over 60 years ago so obviously am no spring chicken.
I have a seat level with the centre circle, am in the back row so neither get wet nor sunstroke. Can sit in a comfortable lounge before the game and as the sports bar is opened up at halftime can get a drink or have a pee with little queuing. All in all a very comfortable way to watch my favourite team. Yes from time to time small things annoy me like only veggie pies being left at 2.00pm last Saturday. I will certainly be signing up for another 5 years
