i can understand it finny but its just another expense for the fans.
You don't have to go though. I get the feeling it will be a more a corporate event which they are inviting the fans to go to too. I've been told by ex-sponsors that in the Bob years and even since to a degree the sponsors weren't treated well enough to make them 'want' to return the following year.
I guess this will be part of the attempt to change that. I would guess quite a few prospective sponsors might also be invited in the hope that they can be wined and dined enough to decide to sponsor the club after all.
Apologies if this upsets anyone - but I always find it childish, embarrassing and quite cringeworthy that fans get upset if someone gets to meet a player before them. I think Bluedevil has put it quite well in their post above.
If you want to meet the player asap then you can - it will just cost you £25. If you don't want to pay £25 then meet them a week later. Or meet them at the airport when they first arrive in the country.... actually perhaps I shouldn't joke about that and give people ideas....
I dread to think of the reaction if we had a Season Ticket Holders Exclusive event the day before.......
