Hospitality Packages – 2017/18 Season

With the SPFL fixtures due to be published at 9a.m. this Friday, it is an ideal time to update supporters and local businesses on the availability/pricing  of hospitality packages within the Hospitality Complex and 1984 Lounge at Station Park in the season ahead.

Firstly club officials are delighted to report that the house full sign has been posted for all hospitality made available at last season’s price at the two home Betfred Cup ties against Stirling Albion and Inverness Caledonian Thistle in late July.

Quite remarkable in many ways.

Now in some respect the bad news, but hopefully not that bad!

Taking anticipated repeat bookings and the already extensive waiting list into account it is highly unlikely that many if any of the eighty plus packages available for the eighteen home SPFL League 1 fixtures will as they say become available on the ‘open market.’

However regular updates will be posted on the club website and face book page.

We would also ask all concerned to be patient when the fixtures go live on Friday morning as the job of completing the ‘jig saw puzzle’ of the rota begins.

Forfar Athletic have since the introduction of these packages quite a few years back now at the time in a converted portacabin have prided themselves on the value for money provided and this has undoubtedly been recognised by the vast majority if not all of those who have sampled the Station Park Hospitality Experience over those years.

This season however with costs as in all walks of life increasing the Directors have felt it necessary to levy a small increase in price which will come into effect at the first home league fixture in August.

The cost of the full package in the Doug Houston, Ian McPhee, Archie Knox and Stewart Kennedy Lounges will rise to £70 per person while the limited package introduced last season at certain games in the 1984 Lounge will rise to £55 per person.

This is still similar and in most instances way below the charge for in fact packages in many instances of less substance at other grounds throughout the country.

We trust that patrons will be sympathetic to this move and the guarantee that this price will remain in situ as has been the case in the past for a minimum of two seasons.
