    It would be a damn shame if we all flooded their new hotels TripAdvisor with zero star reviews ☺️

    I’ll be honest - I do think that’s a bit petty. There will be people working in the hotel who put a bit of pride into their work and it’s disheartening to see something being wrecked for that.

    Just seen some pics on twitter. They’ve got big fancy curtains around the tv screen showing the pitch.

    Another first for them….only hotel in the world with curtains around a tv. Fair play 👏👏👏

    Also the breakfast room has no windows and those god awful maroon tub chairs that they use in their hospitality.

    No architect or designer in the world picks those furnishings nowadays.

    It’s got Budge written all over it. Hoofing

    We’d need to go some on the field to fill that then 😬
    One step at a time please

    You can tailor your reviews on TA, I mean, you could give the staff full marks but the amenities themselves slightly fewer stars lol

    Yeah, I wouldn't bother. I think the actual guests will do the job well enough. 😁

    I'm quite sure we'll be getting blamed for every negative review they get anyway, so may as well be hung for a goose...

    Haha, that Sky Bar looks like a new Spoons. Nowt against Spoons but it doesn't scream high-end. I await the reviews...

    Seriously, that report looks like a complete psstake and the photos make it look like the dullest, most boring hotel in the city.

    All the finishes look budget and certainly no interior designer would put their name to something with as banal a scheme as that.

    As someone above suggested, it looks like the person who forgot to order the seats was given the task of pulling together this one.

    If by 'Interior Designer' you mean Ann Budge and her pals from the bingo walking around Dunelm Mill with the club credit card and giddy with excitement, then aye!

    Shame we hadn't done this. Good source of income as well.

    Is it? Depends on how much they have spent on it up to now. If it's anything like the main stand it'll be double what the budget was so don't be surprised if it is pushing 8 figures.

    How much profit a year will they likely make? The novelty value won't last. It wan't even sold out last night, their 2nd night, so arguably it only lasted 1 day.

    What we can be sure of is that Budge will claim it a success and talk only in terms of revenue but no mention of actual bottom line profit, which will be impossible to determine from their accounts as it will be in alongside the rest of the income and costs.

    That is so bad, genuinely cheered me up that they are still showing huge signs of financial incompetence!

    Imagine spending all that cash to bring your stadium up to the standard of one from the year 2000!

    When times are tough, it’s good to know that Ann Budge is still on hand to provide some comedy.

    That hotel looks f***ing awful.
