Went in the East Stand for Hospitality for the Catalans game and was a little let down by the experience.

Expensive drinks, a small meal (bangers and mash!) and didn't even get a programme!! Also the host Pete Pennington (apparently from Wire FM and no relative to me!!!) was basically an arrogant berk who treated the audience like idiots, not sure where they dragge him from???

Think the club needs to review the whole package!

How much did it cost?

He wouldn't be a relative of you anyway, because his surname is Pinnington. Not surprised by your description of him though, he is a bit of a fool.

What does it cost for the hospitality?

Listen to the RL show on Wire FM. His complete lack of knowledge on any RL subject
is unbelievable. Contrast that to the blokes representing Saints and Pies and he comes accross as an buffoon who can't be bothered to learn much about the game.

Quote ="Ian 77 Redux"What does it cost for the hospitality?'" For the Catalans game it was £14.99 for South Stand season ticket holders and £9.99 for East & North Standers. Usual prices: www.warringtonwolves.org/hospitality- I notice there is a £20 off voucher in the season ticket book.

If thats the case then cant really moan i suppose, if it was more expensive then maybe

It was a crossed booking
Our corporate guests got an ill informed berk, prattling on, in a plastic Scouse/Runcorn accent.
Meanwhile, in a room not too far away, a bunch of gullible kids got lectured about the merits of a quick play the ball, by a bluff, portly northerner, in his mid-50's

Fit the latter description (almost) but it wasn't me, honest.

I've commented on this before, re Gerrum onside, the other week

For want of a better phrase, this is "car crash" radio. I've listened to this, whilst Goldblatt jnr, has her swimming lesson. The ones who represent Pies/Stains/Comics seem "reasonably knowledgeable", yet Pinnington comes across as a mix of Alan Partridge/Richard Madeley.
It's almost like the Wire FM bosses have said "Look, Peed, we've got no-one else to represent the Warrington side of things. You'll have to do it. Here's an old VHS copy of the 85 Challrenge Cup final, and 100 great Rugby League tries. Try your best, and try not to mention the Black Eyed Peas, or the Breeze Bar....good luck.

Back on track, I've been invited to the Martin Dawes stand's Hospitality, as one of my mates had a spare seat (on a few occasions) at his company's table. I've alway's found the food to be first class, though I can't comment on the bar prices, as it was always on a tab (anyone ever noticed, ale always tastes nicer, when it's free). The speakers have usually been good (when the PA's worked properly), too.

Went in hospitality in East stand for the Hull KR game - food was an excellent carvery, free programme and didn't really notice how expensive the beer was - certainly don't remember thinking it was dearer then the £3.20 pints they serve in plastic glasses downstairs.
I think you must have picked a bad day.

I went in there a couple of seasons back against the Pies and thought it was quite good value.

Food was good, beer a bit pricey.

Best bit was after the game when both teams went there for their after match food. The players (in particular Chris Hicks, Matt King and Jon Clarke) were happy to talk to the fans and have their photo's taken with them.

All games are graded, bronze, silver & gold. Whe went three years ago for a Saints game and it was £60 a head with a discount for season ticket holders, £10 for adults and £6 for juniors.......if my memory serves.

This kind of post really pi$$es me off. One persons poor experience can result in 100 people deciding not to bother with hospitality. By all means have a moan that the experience was not up to your expectations, but do it to the club directly and offer suggestions, I know that Andy Gatcliffe is always receptive to constructive criticism, give him a shout - drop him an email.

Expensive drinks ? Quelle surprise !! So is Wembley and Cardiff, not going to put me off from going
No programme ? I'm sure this would have been mentioned (provided or not provided) prior to your booking
Small meal ? Don't go to a Heathcotes establishment if you want a bellyfull - Toby Carvery is the place (take your own plate though !)

To redress the balance, I have paid for hospitality at the HJ for a variety of occasions and never been disappointed - always had value for money.

Welcome back Casual Des...! Where have you been...?

...as a Casual, he's been laughing at the stupidity of silly name splinter-groups like Ultras/Brigantes

I think he has been saving up for East Stand hospitality...

i've partaken in the hospitality & box experience on numerous occasions, no complaints from me! beer in a glass for a start, foods good & i got a programme.

I go most weekends in Hospitality and so far the Cats game was the worst. From what I can tell, depending on the size of the game there are seperate levels. For instance:

Leeds - Three course meal, free programme etc

Quins - One course meal free programme

Cats - One course meal and no programme

Should be in there for Celtic so will see how that goes but I think its a curry?

I see a few people are still guessing at the details, despite me already providing links to the actual info.

Just out of interest Slim, was there enough food for you?

I'd agree with this 100%. I bet that the original poster didn't bother to contact anyone at the club with his complaint. As for expensive drinks, you know what you're getting before you go. If you don't want to pay the prices, either don't drink or don't go.

I've been a few times in the East Stand and the food has always been excellent whatever the package and the friendliness of the staff is always 2nd to none. The bar prices are no more than you'd pay in the concourses which I was happy with. I went to the Catalans game in hospitality and had a good experience, was speaking to Michelle and Rhys I think, who look after the hospitality side of things and they said they were doing new initiatives designed at making the packages more affordable to everyday fans. I paid 9.99 for an upgrade and wasn't let down, no programme but hey I didn't expect one for that price. I think for every package you can get £20 off if you're a season ticket holder which covers your match ticket which a lot of other clubs wouldn't do.

I think it's a clever initative aimed at filling lounges, by my reckoning there was over 200 in there for Catalans where as when I've been previously on occasions there's been about 70. Maybe everyone should at least sample the hospitality while there doing these deals, have a good afternoon out and make up your own opinion.

filled up with beer before hand

it's arty farty french stylee food which is very well presented, or was when i last visited..
