I took a party of about 20 on the "mini sponsorship" day out at the BBG late 70s or early 80s. Good seats for 18 and 2 of us in the Director's box. The 2 also had access to the Director's bar/lounge pre/post match and at HT. The HT cognac was very good. Pre match we had a buffet and post match we were all in the Spotsman's bar. That was a brilliant day out. It sounds like the current deals aren't the value they used to be. I will treat myself to it one day but probably not for the Red Dogs game.
For instance, the game against Brum is £154.80, the Villa game is £178.80, Swansea £130.80. Still expensive but less bankruptcy causing than the Tree Huggers.....
