Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 btw...any chance of asking your mate to take some pics and posting them on here?The first bit will be easy - not sure about the second but I will have a go Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehost 11,061 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The club are going to want to segregate kids from corporate suites and private boxes as much as they can which is totally appropriate anyway you look at it. I cant see there being a huge demand for famlies wanting hospitality at Ibrox as it is expensive.what a load of old toshi see quite a number of children in all the suites and never once have i seen any problemindded it is nothing but a boon for RFC expensive tickets with no booze being consumed Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

familystandloyal 131 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'll keep an eye out for an update at weekend as I'm interested in this too. In April this years for my oldest boys 12th birthday we took the kids to Hamdump for the Queens Park game then back to Ibrox to the Argyle House for the carvery. It was a good day out but if this had been available at the time I reckon he'd have chosen hospitality for a game at Ibrox over going to Hamdump. I've never been to hospitality at Ibrox as I take my 2 boys to the games but would love to do this with them. We've been to the Argyle carvery with them several times & they really enjoy it. I might even treat them for my birthday! I went for lunch in the Argyll House the other day when I was up picking up tickets for this weekends game and noticed the carvery advert.Is it only on a Sunday?How much is it?Is it busy, would I have to book in advance?

Andy Little's Boots 103 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I went for lunch in the Argyll House the other day when I was up picking up tickets for this weekends game and noticed the carvery advert.Is it only on a Sunday?How much is it?Is it busy, would I have to book in advance?I've only ever been on a Sunday but I think it may be on during the week also. I don't think it's on on Saturdays (when we're playing away) as they have a Saturday evening menu. Broxi is supposed to be there the first Sunday of the month but he wasn't in April - probably because there was a game on, if I remember correctly he was at Hampden. I think it was £16/£17 for adults and £8/£8.50 for kids, can't remember exactly though. It's excellent value for a 3 course meal. Kids have the choice of a kids menu or the carvery. Last time my youngest (8 at the time) couldn't decide between the macaroni cheese & fish so they gave him some of each! The staff are really friendly and great with the kids. They even had a menu printed up with Happy Birthday and my sons name for him to take home.It's always been busy when we've been, sometimes more than others so I would say you should definitely book. If you book at short notice you possibly won't get a booth looking out onto the pitch so it's well worth booking as far in advance as you can. Just make sure you ask for a booth when you call to book. My 2 love this as they can then look over to where their seats are in the Copland Rear.

Ace 3,556 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 It's a great idea but just wish they would do it without the 'ticket' offer. There are plenty of families that already have ST's and would like to do this but don't need the seat in the corner, if the club offered a 2 tier cost option with/without ticket they might get a bigger uptake.

mclovin9091 1,388 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 IMO thats not a bad price, normally spend £17 for a ticket, £5 to park in someone's work yard, £3 programme, adding another £25 for lunch, half time snack+drink (minimal queues), somewhere to warm up in winter, a bit of entertainment and to top it off meet Broxi. Thats a good price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a good price.I made much the same point earlier in the thread...I don't have a ST but we go to most matches in BR. Saturday was £22 for tickets, £3 for programme, £2 to 'watch your motor mister' + roughly £25 for half time snack+drink, sweets etc. So really not even £20 more for hospitality. IT's a no-brainer for me, as the queues at HT in the BR have been shocking this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about other clubs but I know that Falkirk do this from time to time when they have a family hospitality offer on. There isn't a huge difference in price when they do this but it might make a difference to some. Maybe if they knocked a tenner off the adult price but kept the kids price the same. It's ok if you know someone who'll pay to use your ST for the odd game but anyone I know that hasn't got an ST already would want it for free & a lift to the game! Miserable gits!!

Not sure about the logistics, maybe if you gave up your ST for the day as in the secondary ticketing that's already available in lieu of your match ticket for the hospitality. I was really just pointing out that it is done elsewhere and it may be the difference between someone booking & paying the extra for hospitality or not. It wouldn't make or break the deal for me but as we already have ST's I wouldn't be doing this on a regular basis. Maybe a couple of times a season for birthdays as my boys are at a game almost every week because as well as having ST's for Ibrox they also have ST's for Falkirk to go with their Dad - but if both clubs are at home they usually opt to come with me.
