Xmas Party = Cash !

[BRANDS]

Had my works xmas party last night at st james park..ive always wondered how the geordies managed to shell wads of cash on players when they haven't been in the champions league for about 5 years - answer there banqueting and corperate side is top notch !

 

Theres about 4 levels with several main rooms offering differnent corperate packages - our team plummed for the £35 per head champagne reception

times that by approx 500 people in the room and then add in drinks at approx £3.00 there raking it in.

 

They had newcastle united hats crackers etc - i didnt wear them ! its a proper geordie love in there! Even the wine was NUFC wine though im told it was vintage Souness era - left a bitter taste !

 

Has anyone been to Heathcotes at Anfield ? Is the banqueting side able to match that of Newcastle ? Its a sign of time but when the new ground is built i guess the normal fan will be shunned for the meal and drinks brigade

 

Oh yes the meal was shite starter Northumberland soup (heinz veggie soup)

turkey dinner (ross microwave meal for one) some form of cheesecake (mum went to iceland!)

 

I was home by 11pm oh and i spewed the meal back up this morning

I like Heathcotes. I think the food is good quality. Last time I was there I had a wild mushroom soup for starter and rack of lamb for main. Yum.

i was there a few years back for a footy tournament (actually i think it was more sports than just footy, but i only played footy). anyway, there was a big do at st james park in the night. i was very impressed with what they'd done. although it was really only like a glorified social club on multi-floors, you could see with the facilities they had they could make absolute bundles there and everything was very well organised considering the vast numbers there. i doubt it's full to capacity all the time, but they must certainly do more with that side of the business than we do at anfield.

i've had the corporste package at anfield once, it was for the Porto game in the uefa cup in 2001 and the whole thing was excellent. 5 course meal all of which was top notch. Sat out in the main stand so better than being in a box.

 

havent been there for a function, but that was class.

You have to book up for xmas by september due to the demand and i know the xmas parties start late Novemeber and rage on up to new year so the cash there gonna make obviously balance the books - spoke to a few different sets of fans who all had nothing but good things to say about liverpool and i didnt get one ' watch your carkeys joke' ! and there didnt seem to be much jealousy over are new owners as i they believe we have more class than chelsea

My mate has a table it sits four and I have had it a good few times - food is of a very high quality and the service is superb. Still prefer to go the normal way but its hard to turn down a free package.

A client of mine has a couple of boxes there and I've been a few times when he doesn't want his tickets. Top notch grub and a lovely way to watch the match.

I've done it a few times. The food is good and you get to tell ex-players they're talking shite or, as my old man did, mutter really loudly "never rated him, he thought he was going to be manager, when he never got it he was sour" as Phil Neal walks away.

I had a graduation party at Anfield, not bad at all but no idea how it would compare to nufc

I agree, the way he treated Catherine was unforgiveable.
