Do it! If we get relegated this could be your last chance, might end up as an indoor market if the hard times hit

I was appalled by the lack of vegan option too. Steak and chips! How ghastly!
Abso-bloody-lutely.

I was given 1901 tickets a couple of years back, I will never go back again. Give me a seat with the riff raff a time.
Was this an etoro competition?
A friend won 4 tickets via this earlier this season - meal in the Goldstone restaurant, unlimited bar throughout and seats at the back of the East Lower, and I went with him, sacrificing my WSU seat.
It was absolutely fantastic - the club do an amazing job.
it actually costs more than £150. For a Category B game, such as today, it's £185+vat, so £222 all in. Even at this price, for a special occasion, I think it's well worth spending that. I'd do it again if free without any thought and I'm sure I'll pay the going rate at some point too.

Agree with this.
Won them for the same game as Bozza, agree with everything above. As a one off it is absolutely fantastic, you’ll be hard pushed to go anywhere where you’re as well looked after as this.

It's an experience! Go eat the food, go drink the drinks, and enjoy the fact they're completely free!
If you don't like the seats or the atmosphere, go to your NS seats at half time. Sorted

Suppose it’s what you like but both wife and I went to the 1901 as guests of friends, no atmosphere although good view. Wouldn’t do it again and for a game as important as Newcastle I would want to be part of the atmosphere. Still if we play the same as the last two home games retiring to the free bar may be preferable.

Go and enjoy it. Put your NS tickets on the exchange and get some cash back.
Go in there with an open mind. You might just realise that coz some folk can afford something that some folk cannot, it does not mean they are toffs, corportates or any less of a supporter than you are in your cheaper NS seat.
You’ll have a great time.

It's my 60th birthda on Tuesday and my fmily have clubbed together to get me and Mrs LLF this for todays game.
Im excited now as I've never done corporate at the football before, really looking forward to it. But, I'd give it uo for a win.

I wouldn't say it was "corporate" at all - just a mix of fans who either had done OK for themselves, or wanted a special treat.
As I say - I really enjoyed it, and it really shows the Albion off in a positive light.
We got to meet both Mullers and Bob Booker, and I understand that at some games you'll get to meet Bobby Zamora too (or instead of).

I know I can't wear a shirt, but, is it acceptable to wear a team scarf?

Absolutely, I have seen plenty of away fans in there sporting scarves.
If you look at the promotion video after the Wigan game you can see TB going mental waving a scarf. Don’t take any shit from the door staff on this.
I'm in 1901 and have had the occasional meal too, have always worn my Albion scarf no problem..

I have gone to various grounds as corporate and its always great, 1901 is equally as good (not had the pleasure of the meal and free bar though) like you say its often those who have done well for themselves but still as much a fan as the next person and then others going for a treat who are often as equally a big fan but its a birthday etc
