I have been tasked, at very short notice, with finding a suitable venue, in or around London, to host a Product Presentation Conference for a major retailer next week. Finding somewhere at short notice is obviously difficult and one venue I had to try, sadly, was Arsenal Football Club. On making my enquiry, I gave them the space I needed and the guy on the end of the phone said that the "Champions Suite" would be the most appropriate space. I sniggered a little when he told me that and then he tried to guide me to it on their website. I commented that it was difficult to find and "do you actually have such a suite" which kind of went over his head. When I located it, I laughed and said that it was kind of ironic that they have an a suite available called the "Champions Suite" and that it was probably still available because Arsenal are "anything but Champions" so no-one knows about it. To be fair to the guy he took it well and asked me about my own football allegiences and when I declared my love of Stoke City, he simply said "at least you won the only game that I would want you to win yesterday". It was good to know that the feelings of dislike are completely mutual. The suite is available at a more than reasonable price but I've managed now managed to find an alternative venue so have obviously taken my business elsewhere.  |

Man Utd have a "Money well spent suite" apparently.... |

I love a happy ending Dave ....and the" I've managed now to find an alternative venue" certainly is the way I hoped the story would end ?
But then surely sat on a park bench with a 3 litre bottle of 'White Stripe Cider " with paper cups ,in the pouring rain would make a
more favourable impression on your clients, when the alternative is the surely 'ironically' named Champions Suite ??
....I suppose the "We're just content with a top four place Suite" didn't have the same ring to it ??

My enquiry was via the telephone so I didn't have the chance to soil the stadium in any way, though obviously, had I gone there, the temptation to do so may well have proven to be irrisistable.

Arse should have a 'Not been champions for quite a long time suite'.

I read recently they have upgraded facilities in this suite.......pretty damn nice if you ask me Attachment Deleted |
