[Albion] Training Ground tours

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Having been a tour 25 quid is a bargain , amazing place

It's five pounds more than it costs a season ticket holder to go behind the scenes in our actual stadium.

What makes it a bargain?

You clearly haven’t been paying attention

you’ll get a cup of tea you have to make yourself and an inch of UHT milk at the bottom of the carton that has to go eight ways.

Yet more moaning re price. I would imagine most clubs don't offer this sort of thing, and we need to drive extra revenue.

Given this is very much an opt in thing, just don't go if you think its too expensive.

This will affect nobody's enjoyment of watching the Albion so I don't really see the issue. A family tour seems reasonable value in my eyes.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Rip off, won’t bother. Shame, the boys would love it. Just have to stick to Southampton’s for free.

Another misjudgement like the screening of the awards.

Why do we 'need' to drive extra revenue by fleecing supporters of a few more quid, when the bloke who runs the club gets an annual 6 figure bonus. Amazes me that so many people are happy to tow the party line and get mugged off all the time.

Barber will try and sell anything to his 'customers'.

It’s not like you’ll see any players at the Training Ground Tour either, they’ll be in Ibiza, Maldives, St Lucia.

You really don’t have to go you know, many will. Choices and all that.

Kids don’t have those same choices and they’re the ones who’ll miss out as families can’t afford it and the ones who would get most out of it - same as match days.

I’m sure it’s fine for the 60 and 70 something’s with grown up kids though.

Shirley we can get an NSC group discount

Who is Shirley? Is she an employee of the team? And does she have a mate named Laverne?

Just don't buy a ticket? You couldn't even go the training ground before, so presumably you still won't. If it was match tickets, that would be different.

Technically you can....to watch an U21's game - Free as a season ticket holder as well.
Those games do give you an external perspective of the size of the training ground.

Ah yes, those well known Sports Injury Clinics. Don't forget the one in Dubai

Why? Does somebody's bonus depend on it?

You'd make a killing if you opened up a 'Sports Injury Clinic' in any of the Disney resorts worldwide.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Don't forget the medical room.....

I’ve heard it’s £25 because we need to raise funds as there are plans are to double that space to cope with our injury problems.

And there was me thinking it was going to be compulsory when i opened the thread

 

[dazzer6666]

Interesting that those who have seen the setup think it’s worth doing, and those that haven’t think it’s a rip-off and not worth doing

 

[dazzer6666]

£25 is a joke price. The club reading the room well again. No doubt they will sell out though.

So if it sells out, they’ve read the room perfectly this time (unlike the Player Awards)

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

What makes it a bargain?

The blow job thrown in at the end of the tour.

More knee injuries

Maybe they didn’t pay £25
