I know it's probably not value for money in the grand scheme of things but thought it might be a decent thing to do before a night out catching up with some mates.

That seems to just be on AFC 50 club or is that all of them? Anyone to give me a shout of best package would be helpful.

Just go for the £72 inc vat - you can skoof heaps pre and post match.

The soup and sandwiches will give your stomach a lining.

It is on the Teddy Scott one as well.

 

I've done corporate before and that was really good. I never paid anything for it so it was exceptional value for money, but even if it was £70, it isn't bad value considering you get:

 

Ticket - £28 (Main Stand)

Free Bar - £20+ depending on when you get there, how fast you drink and what you drink

2 courses - £25+ depends what you are having

Pie - £2

Program - £5?

 

£80 in total (ish)

[Tord31]

Have done AAM dining twice. It's really good but the best value is obviously for non season ticket holders (including match ticket saving)

 

Teddy scott lounge looks an interesting shout for this match.

[RTYD]

Hospitality is great.

[minijc]

It's fucking great, always end up in a complete mess when I've done the lounges, well worth the cash providing you can scoof.

Ticket is only £10 for the game in question.

[StandFree1982]

Ticket is only £10 for the game in question.

The ticket price was based on the game I went to. Judging by the prices, you're not really saving much money but it's a decent day out regardless.

Anyone know if there is a minimum number of people for the teddy Scott or the afc 50 packages I might manage a handful of folk

[Tord31]

only minimum if stated in the advert, a couple of them are

[ericblack4boss]

If I was to buy some spaces could I claim this against my business for entertainment of customers

And take all the lads from the hat on a freebie?? :Party2:

Depends which accountant you use and if he's invited ;-)

[ericblack4boss]

I'll ask if Gardiner and partners want to come then!

Nae luck Dom.

Tables are all four seaters (apart fae oors which has ten), so if there were say, only two o' yiz gan and it was sold oot (which it will be) then ye'd nae doot be sharing wi' anither two.

Certainly. Just ask for VAT receipt when doing the transaction.

Have took a table Captain's Club (under Main Stand) for the Considine game. Be a fine change.

 

I did berate the AFC hospitality earlier last year when in comparison to other clubs, but I must say this season has been a fair bit better (even though TSL price went up 33% on back of the Cup win...and having a waiting list).

 

The dining in the RDS is decent enough (there dining today), but to squeeze more people in this season, they have come up with an idea where those that had a box there also had a table (the 2pm arrival squad.

They now go into the box at 2pm and drink from that point out of a fridge in the box which is full of peroni and you also have your own spirits/wine of choice. They take sandwiches/bacon rolls in (depending on kick off time).

I like it, but the atmosphere gets lost a bit, regardless of it being piped in. The Main Stand boxes are same set up.

Having the 2pm lot go straight to their boxes was a great economic decision as it frees up the tables for dining, so obviously get a lot more in. 12.30pm for this, champagne reception, 3 courser AND watch fitba ootside.

 

Prices for Considine game are very good value, and on a par with what was offered for Europa League games. Well worth it.

Europa League, like testimonial not being included in season package. All domestic cup games are though, which is a bit of a bonus if you get a run.

I'm giving the broch's hospitality a go today.

Entirely free, so a day off from watching the dons today.

Going to be tearing up the broch.

"Certainly. Just ask for VAT receipt when doing the transaction."

 

Eh, no its nae.

 

Entertainment is disallowable under tax law.

 

If the cunt's nae inviting decent accountants, he shouldn't be getting tax relief on it :-(

Well, I've claimed it back the last 3 years.

 

So perhaps my accountant is just a wee bit mair on the ball than yersel'.

[muttonhumper]

Might have described it as something else like...

Aye, you maybe think you have.

 

You'll have seen it in the accounts and thought you were getting tax relief on it.

 

What you won't have sussed is that if your accountant is doing his job properly, he'll have added it back in the tax comps so you aren't getting tax relief on it and nae building up a tax enquiry in the future with penalties, interest and surcharges and allowing Hector the Inspector to come along with the rubber gloves and lube....

 

;-)

[RUL]

All options sound rubbish to me, pre match pub, match, post match pub, take away, home, hospitality is for corporate sell outs, no place for it in football.

[Dom Sullivan]

Have never filed an Oz Tax Return but have advised on tax implications.

 

You hoping to get your AFC Hospitality through your Oz Tax Return lol

[ericblack4boss]

Now now Dom im sure you don't want a meagre fencing contractor on your books, anyway my sister works Gardiner so was on a recommendation.

 

But wood there be any harm in submitting a VAT receipt for this

[muttonhumper]

Dom, your quote even gave me doubts considering how level headed and assured you appear to bo on this site.

 

But...having spoke yesterday to guys in the same position as myself, all operating their own companies, all taking seasonal packages from AFC...I can assure you, each and every one of us is receiving the VAT back on our expenditure.

One of those guys is also an accountant (not mine) with a huge amount of clients in Aberdeen.

 

Hector doesn't scare me by the way...and you know why that is?

Because my accountants(s) know the law better than the idiots that work for HMRC. Fact.

 

 

Edit:

Illegal apostrophe.

Illegal s as well but you never edited that.

 

It's the grammar police you need to worry about not the taxman.

[muttonhumper]

 

It's true! I'm far mair worried by the GP than this prick.

 

Onyhoo. Back to Holland in a couple of wiks for a stag do (I ken)...first chunce to get my hands on some decent skunk since post match in the square at Groningen far I first marvelled at that pile o' hair on your heed.

COYR.
