Sounds like a question for next years fans forum to me. What’s in it and where is it?

It’s rumoured to contain all the people who get up and leave their seats with 5-10 minutes of the match still to play. Thousands from the ESL have been locked up in there for some weeks now. Beyond the vault is a torture chamber overseen by PB, the next stop for those in the vault.

Well it's certainly a fact that the British invented concentration camps . . . so maybe this is true?

In my mind there is an area under the West Stand with the look and feel of Gringotts where you have to get an underground rollercoaster through a vast cavern in order to get to a series of large safes with impossible looking locking mechanisms. At the centre is a giant, imposing, but ornately decorated vault, with the simple inscription "Barber's Hoard" . Get the combination wrong and giant dragons swoop up from the depths and burn you to a crisp

I reckon there's $600m in negotiable bearer bonds in there. That's why Tony Bloom spends most of his time sitting on a beach earning 20%.

It's Tony Bloom's personal fortune in used £5 notes. He doesn't trust the banks.

This has got heist movie written all over it. Jurgen Klopp (played by George Clooney) organises a heist to rob Tony Bloom's (Played by Andy Garcia) casino (played by the Amex). Klopp puts together a team of specialists to rob the secret Amex vault, and through a series of clever ruses manages to pull it off, whilst stealing his true target Ben White (played by Julia Roberts).

Changing the subject slightly.
With 'lounges' and 'TV studios' cropping up everywhere, are there still areas under any stands that are unused?
If a hole was drilled in the wall behind the north, what would be there? Dicks Bar and offices? Does the room/bar under the Upper East fit the entire depth of the stadium? Why are there no windows below the Upper East and above the Lower East?

The lab to clone Calde and Bruno?

I guess with games being played Saturday afternoon/ Sunday/ midweek evenings, there is potentially a lot of cash at the stadium after the game that needs to be kept somewhere till they can get a cash collection. Maybe the takings are there. Maybe it is just a large safe rather than a vault.
I can understand Bruno but why Calde would never make it in the PL now Vicente on the other hand...

Our Amex tour guide let slip of a 'vault' inside the Amex somewhere. Apparently only the select few know where it is, how big it is and what's inside of the vault.

Anyone with inside information?

It's where the rest of the attendees are when they announce the crowd as being a virtual sell out (30k+) but there are thousands of empty seats visible

Or it's where the 3000 or so staff required to edit and shorten each Paul Barber email before it's sent out are based
