[Albion] New proposed fan zone

[el punal]

I don't understand how it's costing £7 million to build a bar on unused space.

You could build what, a couple of semi detached houses on the same space, would they sell for £7 million?

What am I missing here?

A bit of love?

I wonder if they will be serving Lallanas. Just a half then I’m off.

As long as there are enough toilets and you don't have to que 15 minutes for a burger and a pint. Also it would be ideal to be able to sit down and have your food instead of trying to balance your meal and drink on a bin while others are trying to use that bin.

Or better still in your case, eat drink and be merry in Brighton or Lewes then catch a later train to get to Falmer, use the station bogs if you need a slash or a dump. After that rock up to the Amex with minutes to spare before kick off. There, problem solved, everyone happy.

Tickets can be pre booked for £5 entry.

Not sure I like the sound of that. Should be first come, but hey ho.

…is the plan until SASTA have an issue and you are still stuck at the station when the game kicks off

I did make it up although it wouldn’t surprise me.

 

[London Irish]

Hopefully won’t have to turn up pre 1:15pm to get in

I’m opening the bidding at 1.30pm or you’ve had it

This is true.

Just back from taking a relative for a medical appointment at the Amex.

There isn’t a lot going on with the fan zone at the moment - a couple of workers still digging out with machinery but it looks a long, long way off even foundations being laid to my layman eye.

When was it due to open? It looks a long way off at the moment

Shortly into the new season?

That's unusual.

Normally a British building site is a hive of activity with dozens of workers going hell for leather to get the contract finished

That's going to be a piss poor half pint.

And I could have added, that that is how most building projects come in ahead of time and underbudget

Half of it will end up missing the glass

 

[ROSM]

You could always order an Andone

One half and you'll be off

Love reminiscing about Crazy Florin. Absolute nutcase

Haven’t really read all the thread but am I alone in not being interested in this “type o thing”? (I’ve been in Dicks about 3 or 4 times)

I’m not being cynical/negative/ungreatful. I’m very pleased for those that are looking forward to it. Personally I won’t be changing my usual pre match plans.

You and me both.

Nope I have the exact same opinion.

But plenty of people will use it. Had a meal last year and the restaurant didn't open until 12:30 whereas Dicks was open opened at midday. I arrived at 11:45 and there must have been 60 people queueing for Dicks. I had a quick pint in there and there were no free tables from the initial influx of people.

I was also surprised the number of 1901ers that aren't dining get to the lounges for opening. The service is shit, the products aren't very good and IMO most of the lounges are very sterile.

I won't be changing my pre match routine of pub then taxi to the ground.
