:shock: Easy to tell you've never been to one. Almost stark naked ! - in your dreams!!1
Plus it's not as though it's just £35. The drinks are exorbitant there & you end up spending a lot on the games & raffles. Plus of course fans are increasingly shoved to the back of the room so sponsors & women who've never been to a game are placed at the front tables. No discount for ST holders is very poor show too.

Tell you what, just cancel the whole thing.
A posh do like that I'd budget at least £75, which isn't much for a special occasion. Unfortunately events like this are aimed at improving the benefit for sponsers, but at least fans aren't priced out.
In terms of nudity, what about the photos of Matt Towe in nothing but a thong and bow tie from last year? :twisted:

I've never been to a Ladies Night, no. So? I saw plenty of pics from plenty of different peoples photo albums on Facebook and there was certainly lots of flesh. Maybe then I misunderstood the events of the evening. But regardless, the players are still giving up their time to play waiter to you.
Excuses excuses. Are you actually trying to say that £35 for a meal on its own it not worth it?
Drinks.. well, you just suck it up really if you're going to an event like that.
Games and raffles? Hell, no one is forcing you to spend your money on that.
And of course the sponsors are treated like royalty. Maybe if you were more willing to fork out more than a tenner for an evening with the boys, then maybe you would be sitting at that front table. Those sponsors pay a lot of money to have their names written all over the Devils. Why would the club even consider giving a meagre fan, whinging at paying £35 to eat in the company of the Devils and their posse, the rose petals and champagne treatment?
Its a posh frock and black tie do at a swanky venue.. I can't believe people seriously expect to not pay anywhere from £60+ for that kind of evening (not including the frock).
If you want a cheap dinner and time with a player, grab a Maccy's and then stalk your fave around the nightclubs. Can't be that hard, surely?

Exactly!
Have been to every Ladie's Night, going again this year, and think it's money well spent. And after organising loads of conferences and meetings, I can guarantee that you really can't please all of the people all of the time, especially with the catering.
The £35 will cover the hotel's charge per person (this may anything from £20 to the whole £35), it's the raffle money that the team makes money on. And doesn't at least some of it money go to charity? I'm sure it has in the past. So a good event for a good cause
I'm not a sponsor and I've sat in different places around the room (every year the layout is roughly the same), even at a front table. It's who you're with and what you make of it that counts.
Didn't make any difference to me when they changed it (I couldn't have gone if it was in February anyway), I know about how much it will cost so put the money by for it when I can.
Remember that people have put a lot of time and effort into arranging this for us, and the players give up their evening for it, so a big thank you to them all.
Have fun and a lot of laughs, and if you don't like it then just don't go again - there's bound to be someone who'll take your place next year!
