Got to sort those queues out, could take 50% more money if they turned it over faster minimum if wsl is anything to go by.

If the czar needs a wee while he's visiting the North Stand concourse, he'll learn all about queueing.

I took three bananas, a bar of chocolate and a flask of coffee. Total spend = £0. Blame my scottish mother

Brought it home today how much money the club has lost this last decade or so with the 3 championships we had and the play off promotion we had, the lost revenue in seats, food drink, merchandise etc runs into millions and millions and millions. That is the legacy of Archer, just so he could make a few extra quid and cos he didnt care and of the nimbys who fought us all the way for nothing.

Last week I had about 3 pints, a Pepsi and spent just under £70 in the club shop.
Yesterday all of our group (4 of us) had at least 8 pints each, plus a pie/hot dog/burger each.
The club must be absolutely raking it in!

We're generating five times the Withdean revenue on matchdays according to Tony Bloom said on Football Focus.
Was so desperate to get down for the opening match that I came down on my own from Woking. What with the M25 snarl up I had to make tracks fairly sharpish but I was amazed when I was leaving at just how many people were hanging around and carrying on the party. Nobody seemed to want to leave and I sure as hell didn't.
I'm certainly going to be trying to build matches into part of a wider weekend from now on, which demonstrates the point of this thread. Just the venue alone is luring me into parting with more wedge.
I'm hooked. I love this ground.

Stayed in the North until gone seven. Still about a lot in there when I left.

We should get people to sell refreshments to people in the queue at the club shop, like the hot dog people you get in American stadia. More cash!
That's got to be my next mission. Get in the North Stand and stay there.
"At LEAST" 8 pints each?? Good effort!! Have to come & drink with you next match!!

Don't wait for me!
Me and my mate had 4 and a half pints plus a pie each at the refreshments, one each at the Harveys pumps, 3 lottos, plus one programme each. That's about £100 overall with the tickets. Roll on Tuesday!

Er yeah... Actually it was something like this:
- 2 pints in Lewes late morning
- 1 pint in Dicks Bar
- 2/3 pints in WSU before game
- 1 pint at half time
- 2/3 pints in WSU after game
- 2 pints in North concourse after WSU closed
Then into Brighton on the train and a couple more in various pubs... Followed by hours of walking around Brighton and taking photos of people waving our flags... A very enjoyable day!
This. Suddenly the pre- and post-match routine will all revolve around the stadium. Get there early - have a drink and a pie, watch football focus, catch up with mates etc. Then after the game chit-chat-jaw whilst watching the highlights etc. Will completely change (and improve) how I spend my match day.
Pie and a pint before the game. 2 pints and a pie (steak with a healthy dollop of mustard) post match.

Spent about £25 yesterday on food, drink and programmes. Walked round to North after game and it was rammed, i couldn't believe the number staying behind. Popped back to the east where there were no queues, but was still surprised about the number of people who had stayed. Good luck to the Albion, the club needs to be cash generative to move forward and as much as we know he has done it out of the goodness of his heart, there is still much (interest free) money to be paid back to Tony Bloom.
