Goldsmiths Stand

[ourla]

It was my first time in the Goldsmiths on Saturday. Couple of thoughts. First of it was £35 for me and £15 for my 8yo. This compares with £22 and £0 to go in the family stand at the City. The family stand at the KIng Power is not in a disimilar position. Second, there were massive queues for everything even though I nipped down before the half time whistle had blown. Thirdly, the Droglites bar had hand pulls for Tiger but it wasn't on. The keg Tiger looked and tasted awful and was £3.60 a point. Overall, poor and expensive match day experience.

The Family Stand prices at the City are generally excellent for that level of Football. Because of the demand I very much doubt Tigers could ever do the same or on such a large scale. £35 is a lot and £15 is a lot for an Under 10 but that's Rugby I'm afraid. It's even worse at places like Northampton and Bath where you're lucky to find a ticket for under £50.

My advice is to get a terrace ticket, get there early, grab a place at the front and soak in the pre-match atmosphere.

The first three rows in Goldsmiths are cheaper than the rest of the stand.

I agree that it is very expensive. It's very crowded everywhere too.

Thanks for the responses SilebyTiger and Isambard. In some ways you can't argue. Saturdays match was a sell out and there seemed to be plenty of people happy to suffer the queues and rubbish beer. We've been in the GNC a few times and it's a better experience and no more expensive iirc. The terrace is fine for me as I am 6'4" but unless I get their really early it's no good for my son. Will be interesting to see what they set the City prices to now they are in the Prem.

Ourla next time you come to a match call me on 01332 773007 and come as my guest in the Try line club along with your 8yr old. I can promise you a totally different match day experience, sadly the Saracens match is already sold out but anytime next season you wish to give it a try call me.

Noddy555, that is a very generous offer. Many thanks and I'll make a note for next season.

Hi noddy, you may want to edit your post and remove your number. There are certain people who use automated tools to scour forums, blogs, etc, looking for things that look like phone numbers, email addresses, url's, etc. you are then pretty much stuck as a target for them.

Thanks Cidermark but I'll leave my post unedited, even a NSA Hacker couldn't get into my system at the moment as my lap top has crapped up and my M.A.S. will intercept any phone callers.
