My first season in ‘The Dugout’ lounge has been magical. The whole experience from start to finish is truly enjoyable. The staff are friendly, the bar is cosy, the food is tasty, the buffet style means there is minimal waiting time too. Half time drink ready for you at the bar is brilliant and the cheese and biscuits after the game is a lovely touch, allowing you to chat about the match in comfort whilst waiting for the crowds to disperse and make the journey home more relaxed. All in all, I have been thrilled to have such a wonderful experience and although I would be excited to watch Brighton & Hove Albion in any seat, ‘The Dugout’ makes it super special. I look forward to the many years to come!
