Guest johnson293 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Got some gift vouchers at Chrimbo for the Official Stadium Tour at St James'. Gonna take the bairn tomorrow, with it being half term. Theres a brief idea of what you see on the website, but just wondered if anyone had been on one of these, and could give an idea if its really any good? Says you go to the Pitchside to the dugouts, and into the Changing rooms - but do they have the player shirts on the pegs, or is it just empty?

Karjala Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Went about 10 years back before it was extended, cost £3 and was great! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can also confirm that Emre had a bunch of Turkish football-magazines on his place. He was probably more interested in those than doing a job for us.

SEMTEX Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I went on it, enjoyed it. Was more for my lass tbh. Would've been mint if the guide had fucked off when we got into the dressing room. Couldda ragged the bird on the physio table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Went 2 or 3 years ago thought it was much better than the nou camp tour I thought that was a bit of a let down as well. I havnt been on the SJP tour, although I really want to as it looks amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Did it as a bairn before it got extended, it was alright then. Only one I've done in recent years was the free one you got when you bought that grey and navy blue away top from the SJP club shop in about 2003/04 I think. Was crap, didn't go pitchside or anything, basically saw the directors boxes and that was it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Nou Camp or "Camp Nou" looks like a 1970s multi storey car park from outside. All rough, grey concrete. When I went on the tour someone in the group shouted "Goooooooooaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllll" in the media centre. The previously miserable looking club employee who was in the room broke a smile. I enjoyed the Newcastle one (apart from getting told off for going into the room connected to the changing room with the physio table in it). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly amusing...to me at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmsy10 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Got to see around the Executive boxes and all the function suites etc as well as dug-outs, changing rooms etc. Was 2 hours well spent for (i think) £12! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaypee Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I went in 2005 and I loved it. Didn't get to see the changing rooms, though (apparently because it was the day before a match). Would have liked to been all over the stadium, but we only wandered around the Milburn and Leazes L7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest johnson293 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Well, went on this today, and took my 5 year old son with me - was a canny tour, and ran for almost two hours. Tour takes in the directors box, then up into and outside the executive boxes, then up to level 7. On the way they show you the function and hospitality areas, one of which is like a gallery of all the past No.9's from Gallacher through to Shearer. The guide talks about each one. Then its back down and over through the players entrance, into the home and away dressing rooms. There were shirts on pegs, but not actual match shirts, just named/numbered ones. Then we went down the tunnel to the pitchside, and around the dugouts - then it was back, and into the media suite where the tour ended. We were told to, and able to take as many photos as we wanted, and the tour guide was a canny bloke - Pretty well informed. The tour didn't go to the trophy room (if it still exists) or the club museum (again, not sure if this is still there). However, it was a decent morning out for the little un, and has hopefully whetted his appetite for going to see a match there. We had vouchers that I got for Christmas, but the cost is £10/adult and £7/child. Certainly worth a visit for anyone who hasn't been/thinking of going.

Nope, you should've had Nou Camp in the quotation marks with the explanation you provide, which was also my point in the first place. Though I admit I seem to have worded my point weirdly.
