To all those who consider themselves to be part of the upstairs elite.
This club has to move out of the dark ages, and draw in as much income as it can from as many people as it can. Unfortunately for you that will mean in the short term, that people who you dont wish to see using your cosy little world will be there!
Lets face it the upstairs bar is a darn sight better than it was, and Im sure that as long as the ground improvements move forward, you will see an even better and more exclusive one in the future.
Until that day arrives please put the future of this club before your own creature comforts and either live with it, or sit on your local Sea front and moan about the Gulls stealing your chips.

I was moaned at by one supporter today for non exec lounge members going into the exec lounge. When I pointed out the cheap deal they get considering pre season friendlies, a seat, food etc thats actually better than regular supporters i was told "But i buy my ticket in advance every season." Yes like I and many other supporters. I was then told "I've had enough of this club and WUSA, he then stormed out and flicked the V sign to 5 of us telling us to ****off. You may have had your own little club looking down on the peasants who drink below but this club is being pulled into a new era with new revenue streams, and if you want that to disappear so you can have your own little area, then i'm afraid you are not a true supporter.
I just cannot understand the thoughts of some people and how they think they are better than everyone else. Crazy.

My ticket says "Executive Lounge". I bought it in good faith during the close season. If there was not an executive lounge I would not have bought a ticket for it and would have bought a different ticket. I agree there should be no divisions and, in that case, there should be two seated season ticket prices, ordinary and concessions, for all people. Anybody who knows my politics will know that I do not laud it over anybody else. But the fact remains that I bought a ticket for an area which I thought would be more quiet and with slightly easier access to the bar for we old gits.
The issue which brought things to a head yesterday was frustration at the result after such a promising first half display, followed by the invasion of chanting Hemel Hempstead fans in the "upper bar" who, I observed, buying a little food but not many rations and who then proceeded to move outside to the platform above the seated area to continue their chants - forcing our blokes who had set up an interview area for MG et al to move further away. What p*ssed me off even more is that my daughter had arrived to give me a surprise birthday present for tomorrow and was drowned out. Thanks to my wife and to a smashing lady official from Hemel Hempstead, the exuberant chanters moved back into the bar peacefully. They were actually very good natured and smashing blokes, just celebrating an incredible and unlikely victory.
I am sorry I had a rant and swore at people, that is totally unacceptable and I apologise. However, just as people who regularly use the upstairs bar are perceived as an "elite", I have to say there are more than a few cliques among Wings supporters.

Then you should direct your frustration towards the club and the lack of correct stewarding .....Not WUSA
