Posted on 19/02/2019 14:21 by Cornersteadythere should be a monopoly version of club sites, Super serviced pitches for Mayfair and Park Lane, over there sites for the brown Old Kent road bits (as of course it is sooo much cheaper over there).
Toilets block for the utilities and free parking becomes free dog parking.
For me of course the go to jail cards would be replaced with CLs

Just in case MalcMc is now confused, it may well be worth looking at the official explanation here:

Welcome Malc. If you haven’t got your handbook yet, it can all seem a bit confusing, but all the factual stuff you need is in there. If you click on UK Sites above, top left, there is all sorts of information about types of pitches as well.
All depends on how you want to use your MH. If you intend parking up on site and don’t mind paying extra, a serviced pitch might suit. If you are out and about in your MH most days, and can fill and empty your tanks as you come or go, then possibly a waste of money. All about what suits you best. Enjoy!

standard pitches will be fine, and if you've got decent sized fresh and waste tanks, once filled, you'll be fine for many a day, especially if using the site facilities...
as others have mentioned, SP don't hold the same attraction for many MHers.
with a full fresh tank we 'manage' for 5/6 days, even if showering in the van, using site facs means around double that.....so, no need for an SP.
could be handy for a (very) long stay if included in pitch, but at £3.90 a night on a club site, no thanks....we wouldn't stay on a club site that long, anyway.

Wouldn't it be nice if 'service pitches' meant that someone pitched your van for you, plumbed you in to the water mains and drainage, put up your awning and then cooked your tea on the BBQ whilst you sipped on a cool beer?!?! Or is this taking a service pitch to a new level? 
Maybe they should come with your own butler?
We've booked in to service pitches this year for the first time to try them. We only get away a few times a year so we thought 'why not?' Although I think our small two berth van will look a little lost on some of the service pitch pitches that I've seen......we'll just have to spread our chairs out a little!
