choffer Posted October 15, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2015 Are all stadium tours rubbish? I did Stamford Bridge on some corporate thing today. Took about 25 minutes, you three minutes in the room where they do press conferences, a few minutes in the changing rooms, a walk up the tunnel, a couple of minutes sitting in the dugouts and then a sit in the shed. If I'd paid 20-something quid for that, I'd have asked for my money back.We did have Chopper Harris come and give us a chat over lunch though and he was very good value.

Stevo985 Posted October 15, 2015 Author VT Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2015 I'm thinking of doing a VP stadium tour this year. Never done it before. It probably depends on which stadium tour it is. The Villa one has some great reviews on tripadvisor, especially the one that includes lunch after.I've done the Nou Camp tour and it was absolutely brilliant.

Tegis Posted October 15, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2015 I did tag along with the chicago Villans last season on a tour of VP. I think we got some kind of deluxe edition of it because it took well over 2 hours. Bloody brilliant it was, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Never done the Villa one. In fact I've just done Real twice. I **** hate them anyway, and I didn't think much of the tour either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the bloke that looks after museum at the Emirates ( he went to school with my mum as she lived near Highury ) my father in law was over from Hungary and really wanted to see a football stadium so we got him in the Emirates .... On the pitch , in the dug outs , in the changing rooms , press conference room ( I said " I did not see the incident " into the mic which i found hilarious , the Arsenal people working there less so ) a quick chat with Charlie George and then into the museum ... Once we finished the tour Our friend then went and got out the FA cup and league cup ( I guess they are the ones the clubs keep after winning it X number of times ? )and even Petite's World Cup shirt he wore in the 98 final and my father in law had his picture taken with them all and then given a signed Arsenal ball i always imagine he went back to his small village in Hungary and told everyone that in England you can just walk about the whole stadium and they bring all these trophies out i dint think everyone gets quite that level at the Emirates but I got the impression the tour was fairly decent Edited October 15, 2015 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rugeley Villa Posted October 16, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) had a right day yesterday because the night before id had a curry so the morning after whilst i was out with the dog(again) i had to run back to get on the loo which i just about made but on the way to work was a different matter. we are trying to find this job in solihull and my arse is twiching like a good un but i thought yeah we are nearly there so i will try and hold out but then the worse case scenario happend and we get lost driving around these posh streets in solihull. anyway we have a little combi van and i whilst my mate had pulled over to try and find out where we were i got in the back of the van and done this huge sloppy shit in a bucket that stunk to high heaven. by this point hes jumped out the van shouting unsavoury words at me in this really posh street then i fling my hi vis at him which ive used to wipe my arse with which upset him even more. we then had to drive to this site with this bucket full of shit in the back which stunk,i then had to clean it out when i got on site. he got pay back on me though because when we were throwing tiles up the roof i was not paying attention properly and the tiles he threw caught the end of my nose and has taken all the skin off the end. so not only did i have a sore arse i had a sore nose and it looks like ive been on a crack pipe all night as crackheads get these burns on their noses which look identical to mine.
