matthefish2002 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 We have had hospitality like that for years at games going back to the 80s. But agree watching football is a lot more plastic experience then it once was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most games at Wembley the seats on the half way line for the hospitality start to empty around the 35-minute mark and are empty after the 2nd half starts and slowly fill up over around 15 to 20 minutes. Seats that proper fans could fill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s just hospitality The "Fans" are an expensive sideshow - just as the recently announced European Super League. Clubs dont make any money out of "Joe Fan".. They need every seat to be "hospitality" and TV revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 My lad worked for the FA, and asked if I wanted to go to the charity shield, Liverpool v city with him. We were sat at a able of twelve, other than me and him, there was only one other person interested in football. Must have been 200 tables in the room we were in. The food was fantastic and it was a. Free bar. I can not imagine how much it must have costs. Great day but so removed from football and yes I didn’t rush back for the second half or watch the penalty shoot out.

To be fair I think it's going to take something like a free bar to get me to turn up to Hillsborough at all next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this is probably similar at a lot of big sporting events Wimbledon, Lords Test Matches, British Grand Prix, Rugby Union Internationals.
