@@denk664 This is so sad to see.

I don't know why I'm surprised that Ellis doesn't know what eggs benedict tastes like and hasn't had champagne, but I'm here to see it. I like that you do actually get some player access for the tickets but none of these vip experiences ever seem worth it to me.
That pie and peas looked pretty tasty to be honest. And really that 60 quid they spent on the match ball sponsorship probably meant a lot more to Selby than 2000 pounds to Man City.
I can totally relate to compare myself to others and therefore to degrade myself which is always a harmful thing to do, but I don't think a man should necessarily look like He-Man.

When the amount you paid for one ticket is around the same what I paid for a 2 week cruise that includes more or less everything. And the 2 tickets together is the same as I've paid for a 2/3 weeks cruising to somewhere else
As much as I prefer the real way to watch football standing on the terraces in the cheap seats if you have the opportunity to get in a premium hospitality area in the top flight you should take it. I was fortunate enough to find some privately advertised at Everton with directors box seats (the Southampton game where they didn’t turn up!) 5 course meal & unlimited bar. It was an incredible experience and although we lost the match I had no regrets.
I recently finished studying a football coaching course that was linked with Manchester City which meant that as part of our graduation celebrations, we were all invited to an exclusive Tunnel Club celebration event where we were catered for and looked after. If anyone ever had the chance to go then I would highly recommend it...
I remember being in the tunnel on a Newcastle summer tour and thinking Fabricio Coloccini was WAYYY bigger than i expected (Fraser Forster was exactly as large as expected hah). Listed at 6' but easily 6'4" with his boots on (so probably about 6'2" actually)
@@Kewickviper Essentially it's "amateur" NFL. Universities field teams that compete across several divisions with the highest being Division 1 FBS which is where the top teams play. Although it's actual university students playing, teams have huge fanbases as these are typically the premier schools within a given region. These games draw much larger crowds than the NFL and a lot of times have bigger fanbases as well. Our college football fans are probably more similar to English football fans than our NFL fans would be. We may not have football hooligans but the atmospheres at these games would objectively rival many European football games. Many of the largest stadiums in the world are actually college football stadiums. I'm leaving quite a bit out but that's my synopsis. I'm a bigger fan of the actual football but being from the Midwestern U.S where football is a religion, it's hard to not be a fan.
@@MultiJejje At this point I use it interchangeably. Honestly depends who I'm talking to, the vast majority of Americans will never adopt "football" for "soccer". Were I overseas I'd use the proper name.
Saying why can't you sell out city away as a Fulham fan is a bit harsh. A lot of smaller southern clubs just can't be arsed to spend all the money to get there just to see their team get pumped by 4 or 5. Its just not worth it
As the chef of the tunnel Club, comparing the rabbit roulade (which is a 2 day process) to stuffing hurts me a little bit 😂, other than that hope you guys enjoyed the food And the experience! ❤
With these circular glasses (I just learned that they are called 'teashades' in English) and the sky blue shirt, he looks a bit like a posh version of Liam Gallagher about 25 or 30 years ago, as if the Emptyhad and the billions from the Middle East for ManCity would already have existed in the mid 90s... :D P.S. I'm already getting blisters on my feet just by looking at these shoes!
If you want to try a college football game, hit me up. 😂 The game day experience at college football is much better than the NFL and is probably as close as you can get here in the US to matching that of football/ soccer
That was truly surreal to see the momento add feature, "Louisiana College Wildcats" which not only was the tiny Christian college I went to, but it is also outdated now since they changed the college name recently. Also Louisiana College's soccer team was and is truly terrible. They often go entire seasons without winning a match.
Just watched this video…good work loved it. I used to coach/ scout here and walked through the hospitality to use the toilet and get some cheese. I noticed you mentioned the Mariners…I now live in Seattle and jumped on the Mariner band wagon. Touch and go this season for playoffs. If you ever fancy a away day over here let me know. 🎉
My Wife and I were guests of one of the life Presidents, we went in through the same entrance you guys did, we were on tier two, we had a meal and the heated padded seats, but I hated dressing up, our Grandson is a Kalvin fan, but that's because he supports Leeds!
That is impressive but it isn't the high end at Man City (I had a season ticket at City over 18 years from 1995 - 2014 and was used to living life in the South Stand near the away fans). Last season I had the fortunate opportunity to be invited by Robinson's brewery to their suite in the Chairman's lounge. We had a circular leather booth with a waitress dedicated to our table. To put it into context, the next best table we could have had was by buying the club, (about 20 feet away behind a black glass screen was the Chairman of City and owners of Fulham). My match seat was on the front row of the second tier about 8 seats from the Chairman (Khaldoon Al Mubarak) and the Fulham owners with carpet on the floor and heated leather seats. It was the best football experience of my life. The food and drink was an incredibly high standard and the whole experience was a day I will never forget. Thankyou Robinsons Brewery.
Great video and just shows what rich people are prepared to pay out. For them its just peanuts. Lots of work for alot of people which means jobs for many. Wonder how many people work there on a match day. Reckon if i was on 50 Grand a month, i would do the same. Twice a month 1000 plus for entertainment. Why not
given it's near impossible to get a ticket for a united prem match with prices starting at £300 on the site, This really doesn't seem that bad, given you get the meet the players and what not.
Love the video as usual, also have to say that I've been using Momento since you last gave it a shout out and I genuinely love it, so good for keeping track of games
I recently did hospitality at Leiston, honestly the lower level clubs make you feel massively welcome, unlike teams like Man City so I'd probably do 60 Shelby's over 1 Man City
Love the video. I'd rather be at Selby though. Love the EPL but it's beyond a working mans game anymore and this video is the future of all EPL teams. Us working class fans are gonna be gone soon.
What row were your seats? Does everyone who gets the tunnel club premier get to get that close (i.e. high five when theyre coming in, on the field during warm up). My son is a huge fan of Manchester city and I wanted to know what to expect in terms of whether or not he'd get to see the players. I didnt want to get my hopes up
