Being by Iain informed that I had won his website competition for 2 tickets for the West Ham United v Everton was a lovely surprise. To later realise that they were in the Alpari Box was a bigger surprise (must make a mental note to read all of the small print in future!). I had entered the competition hoping to give my daughter a well deserved treat. She had recently received her GCSE result (12 grade A to B) and is always tirelessly supporting her fundraising brother. My husband and son are season ticket holders and always go into the game and us girls don’t normally get the opportunity.
We were a little nervous entering the room on the day but the Alpari representatives and their guests were so friendly and made us feel very welcome. The food and company were great and the view of the pitch was incredible. Taking our seats we decided that West Ham could win 2-1 and when they were eventually awarded a penalty and scored, resulting in our prediction, we did go a little crazy. Sadly the more goals followed and the end result was not in our favour but this did not mar our experience. Fantastic day, thank you so much for a fabulous and much appreciated treat for my daughter.
