Back in the early 70s my school mates Dad was a director of a company closely attached to MFC and Amer. As such he had some complimentary tickets to what as I remember as the 100 room. But my mate now reckons was the 100 club. Got in a couple of times. Does anyone else know of this 100 club/room.
Maybe Erimus ?
 
I use to go into the 100 club after certain games

On another note I bought two 'shot' glasses from the directors room when parts of AP were sold off
 
Me an a few mates had a spell going in there, not in the seventies though - more like early to mid eighties. Funny place but easy to nip straight into the Holgate

Had a couple of STs in the 100 club for a few seasons in the 90’s. Enjoyed it
Once won £1k on a scratch card in ther
 
Had a season ticket in there in the 70's and 80's.Straight out of there into our seats in the North Stand.Basically just one room with the smallest bar you've ever seen about 6 feet wide.Got a free sandwich at half time and could go in at the end of the game and watch the results come in on Grandstand.State of the art hospitality in its day!!
 
Just reminded me of the "Golden goal" where you bought a ticket and it had a time of the first goal printed inside.
I calculated that there was 90 * 60 tickets that could have been printed + 1 which said "No goal" - the best ticket of course.

Cant remember the prize / ticket cost but 10 quid springs to mind. and 10p?

So thats odds of 5400 to 1 for 100 to 1 prize
I still bought one though

What happened if the winning time ticket had not been sold ? - was it nearest ? Or did it go into the CA pension fund
 
Went once in the seventies with my Dad he got tickets from work (ICI) somehow. Remember the tea and sandwiches at half time , more importantly we went top of the league in the old first division beating Norwich 1 -0 think Souness scored. Only went top as we were one of the few games played that weekend as we had no international players whereas teams with international players had their games postponed

They were those perforated tickets- pink, I think. Petty sure they were relatively cheap
 
Definitely after the goal was scored. Very slowly before chucking it (I wasn't an eco warrior then)
