Season Ticket Early Bird

[Yorkiered]

The early bird offer ended today so they have now announced an extension to 9 May.
Exactly what they should have done. Well done to all concerned.

[deebee]

My family and I renewed 4 weeks ago but we haven't had any letters or emails about vouchers or anything else. Is the offer only open to a select few.?

[drfchound]

Before people get carried away, isn't the legends lounge the one under the west stand accessible from outside to the left of the players entrance.
Basically as far as I know it's just a members lounge where you can have a drink in better less crowded surroundings and with a team sheet included.
I'm not knocking it in any way and will gladly use my voucher - if it's worthwhile I might even join up.

That is Alick's Bar.
The Legends Lounge is the new name for the Premier Lounge




If that is the case then how can someone like myself gain entry when i am situated in the South Stand?
Does anyone know whether we will be allowed to go through?

In all honesty, because i usually drive to games i don't have a pint so all the club are doing is inviting me to spend money i wouldn't usually spend on a match day.
If this voucher is deemed to be a sweetner because we are likely to be in L2 next season, i would rather have a partial refund of my season ticket value.

[RTID75]

I too drive to games, so don't drink. I also won't turn up in anything other than Rovers shirt, coat/fleece and jeans. The offer is therefore of no interest to me at all. Rovers have never thought too hard before making offers to fans.

[drfchound]

I think i may have seen you in the ground.

f**king hell, the club cant do right for doing wrong with some people.

I also drive to and from games and am used to not having a drink at home games.
I have been in corporate hospitality at Rovers before and it was a great experience - even without the need to have a drink.
If its the whole lounge package, I suspect that you will exchange your normal seat ticket and go there prior to the game and spend the whole match there. I don't know exactly what it includes but it may include a meal (pie and peas?),ground tour, intro from a former player, meet the MOM and possibly other players after the game, etc.
Whatever it includes, I will take up the club on their great offer and enjoy the day without the need for an alcoholic drink.

Just think on - they didn't have to do anything - but they made a gesture which I for one appreciate.

[RTID75]

I appreciate it, I just think that Rovers assume that everyone will love the offer, when I'm sure a fair few won't be fussed. I have to be honest, as mentioned above, it does feel a little like (possible / probable depending upon your view) relegation compensation too!

I'd be a lot more interested if it weren't for the dress rule. I'm never going to dress posh to watch a game of football!

[Sammy Chung was King]

Well done to all you who have renewed, it's a commitment of faith and supporting your side when they most need you, especially when you don't know which league we will be in. Hopefully we can add thousands who pay on the day to that to give the team plenty of support.

You jumped on me a bit quick there Stockton didnt you.
I asked how i would get to it from the South Stand?

Like others on here, i dont particularly want to get dressed up to watch a game and prefer to sit in the south stand to watch one.
I have also done the corporate hospitality thing and as it happens, i dont particularly like it as much as being with my pals behind the goal.

So, we are different in that aspect.
I still think i am right in suggesting that i would rather have had a discount on my season ticket cost.
Perhaps the club could have given me an option?

Nothing wrong with that is there?

Ditto to that. I opened the letter and was quite pleased to see that the club had thought about fans who have renewed early and recognised the potential for disappointment. I would rather have had a tenner voucher for the club shop or something though. I stand in the Black Bank for a reason. Sterile hospitality areas do nowt for me. You can't bellow "zigger zagger" and expect the East Stand to join in!

Regardless, at least it's an effort even if it's not been thought through. I would've bought my ST anyway so nothing lost.

[The Red Baron]

Couldn't you use it for a couple of friends or family members? Perhaps as a treat? Particularly if they wouldn't normally come to a game.

It might get them into going to Rovers.

[idler]

My granddaughter took her shirt with her and put it on when she got to her seat. Taking it off at halftime before going in and then putting it back on for the second half.
Nobody said anything to her.

[andy didcott]

So what is the dress code for the legends lounge then, I take it no football shirts allowed, how about jeans and trainers.

[idler]

I think it was smart casual. Granddaughter had smart jeans on but I can't remember what footwear she had.
It might be more relaxed for a lower division. 😉

I am of the opinion that it is smart casual, no trainers and no football shirts.

[The Red Baron]

I've been a couple of times, once in the lounge and once in a box. It isn't suit and tie. First time I wore a buttoned shirt with casual trousers and leather shoes. Second time a polo shirt.

[swintonrover]

Let's be right, the club could get a celebrity of your choice to fellate you for the whole match and some people would still complain about the whole thing.

[RedJ]

Well how could you concentrate on the match if that was happening?

Mind, lately I suppose that would be preferable...

[idler]

Think some of out players had it pre- match with a few of our performances.😵

[Filo]

Of my choice did you say? 😝

[roversdude]

Does that link nicely back to LT

[ravenrover]

Well I have to take it all back, the crazy letter arrived yesterday!
Good decision to extend the offer in my opinion.

[Tyrion]

Just booked this complimentary offer to the Legends lounge for the Stevenage game. Can anyone who has taken up the free entry tell me what time it opens? And what food is available (free as part of deal or paid for)? And do they let kids in?

This thread does not answer all the questions you have but if you sift through it you will find some of them

2, 14, 26 and 28 are probably the most relevant replies for you but please post any more info you find as a result of your own visit as lots of us (I suspect) are still to do this.

Interested in any extra info for sure
