The Holte Suite

I think that looks good. But then I am somebody that is sticking to a pretty tightly to their macros now we're in Competition season and I've not had a drink of ale in 2024. So The Jockey with some pic n' mix would probably be appealing.

Looks terrible for the money . Empty school canteen vibes

It is, too bright, the benches are uncomfortable, the food was mediocre, just about warm full of chemicals.
It has the ambiance of a night time supermarket or motorway service station canteen.
What they have failed to provide is warmth, comfort, quality and value.

The really annoying thing is these additional offers would be well received if they were extra (new seats) rather than replacing the existing.

I spent hours trying to buy Forest tickets in the Holte but, despite empty seats, I could not buy because they’re being held for GA+ offerings only.  I managed to get a ticket elsewhere eventually but mainly because I’d ready bought my train ticket.  If I didn’t have that I’d have sacked it off like I imagine most people will.

ah did you bite the bullet and try it ? I'm not a big drinker so i'd never get my moneys worth . I read from someone who said he'd made it stack financially but that involved drinking 8 pints of morretti and eating a fair bit too.
Guess its handy if its your only chance of a ticket though

I wanted to test drive it.
As I would use it if it was value for money, but it really isn’t.
The whole set up is crap.

I'd like to see what it like as well, only because we used the Holte Suite a lot over the years.

The way things are going I wouldn't put it past them to have done the whole thing as half-arsed and shoddy as they have so that it wouldn't work and they can say, "We gave you something better and you didn't want it so it'll be full-on corporate next season."

[VillaTim]

nobody asked for it in the first place

Would say that’s more than plausible Dave…boot some season ticket holders out of great view seats in Holte or Witton, pad the seats and sell it as full corporate

[Clampy]

I'm going the other way to what Dave W thinks and reckon they'll open it back up to the way it was, but with a small fee.

[Risso]

Yep, there's no way they could really offer proper corporate in the Holte without a radical rebuild.

But, sadly, we did. Remember the survey asking if we'd be interested (read curious) about an enhanced offering above and beyond the regular seat?

I voted yes, out of curiousity, and I'm sure many did. The club took that as the green flag.

[Chris Harte]

Btw, I expect if United score on Sunday there will be trouble. Probably in A1 - A3.

Or it might happen before that even. Some people can't handle eight pints of Birra Morretti, regardless of their footballing persuasion.

That was a stitch up.  The decision was already made.
