Anyone with any experience with any hospitality packages at BP? Been looking at watching a game with my grandad and this will make the perfect Christmas present.
Thanks all

I'd had exacly the same thoughts about taking my Dad, and despite emails, got nothing back. If anyone has another email would they let me know please? I can't just pop in as I don't live in Grimsby anymore.

You can order hospitality tickets through the GTFC Commercial website now - https://www.commercialgtfc.co.uk/product-page/executive-match-day-hospitality-packageProbably a lot faster than trying to sort it out over email! Also in terms of the experience, can only talk about my last visit which was probably 3-4 years ago now, but the fish and chips in McMenemy’s are excellent. Dave Smith used to do a really good tour around Blundell Park which included visiting the dressing rooms and meeting some of the players if you arrived early, but now he's left i'm not sure if they're still doing them. They also get the players who are out injured or not selected to come up for photographs. I've always enjoyed the experience.

Not expreienced since Dave Smithh left, like someone said the tour by Dave Smith was interesting, followed by a 3 course meal (Cavery or fish & chips both excellent) bottle of wine, & coffee. Dave would walk about the tables taking the time to chat, I have been many a time and never had a bad experience except the wrong result sometimes.

I made the same enquiry, wanted four tickets for new years day and asked about disabled parking which got the reply "There is no disabled parking" not even allowed to drop off at the door to the upper youngs stand so it's a no go for us

Not even being able to drop a disabled person at the door is very poor form from the club.

That's very disappointing to hear and I would suggest whoever you spoke to needs to familiarise themselves with the club's own webpage section for disabled supporters: [img]https://i.imgur.com/4O2DKce.png[/img] From here under the 'Disabled Supporters' heading - https://gtfc.co.uk/visitors/Possibly something to raise with our SLO or Debbie Cook? Surely the club should be treating enquiries from disabled supporters better than that!

The attachment says where the disabled parking that is available is. With no pay on the day parking and the Youngs stand looks over subscribed not sure where the club could provide extra places. Plus I often see people in wheelchairs using the lift in the Youngs stand so some do manage to get into Mcmenemy's.

Thanks! I have not seen that page on the website, so makes life a lot easier. Appreciate the review as well - looking forward to taking him to a game.
