This is our fans bar at falmer

[Spanish Seagulls]

It will be streets ahead of most stadia anyway & as most have stated people will be happy to have a state of the art stadium with quality refreshment both alcoholic & non alcoholic wherever its situated within. It will still be the HAPPIEST place on earth on opening day.

WE WILL ALL AS HAPPY AS A PIG IN SELHURST ON THE OPENING DAY,BUT THIS STADIUM IS A LEGACY FOR THE YOUTH,WE HAVE GOT 7,000 PLUS IN THE SUPPORTERS GROUP BUT NOT ONE CORNER HAS BEEN SET ASIDE FOR THEM,AND DONT SAY NEITHER DOES ANY OTHER CLUB,NOW I'VE REALLY GOTTA GO,BE GOOD AND GLAD THE CAP LOCK HAS NOT HINDERED YOUR PARTICIPATION ON THIS MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE

 

[Everest]

If he doesn't turn off the CAPS LOCK, I may feel it necessary to turn him off.

Hint not taken.

So Rev, you've seen very detailed plans have you?

 

[jmsc]

i mean if your not going corp you will be drinking outside the toilet on the concourse with the ordinary fans

You forgot to put your caps lock on to annoy everybody!

YES

 

[The Large One]

So, let's get this straight.

You have been shown the most recent plans, and they do not incorporate a fans' bar, and that people not in Hospitality have to make do with bars of their own - dotted through an Albion images-adorned concourse?

... and we'll be able to drink beer inside the ground? I'M DISGUSTED THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TO PUT UP WITH SUCH FACILITIES, APPARENTLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO BUY FOOD AND PLACE BETS TOO, ALL WHILE WATCHING FOOTBALL ON SCREENS IN THE CONCOURSE. DISGRACEFUL!!!

 

[34064 Fighter Command]

Why would I want to watch a midday game at the ground anyway ?

There are plenty of better places to eat and drink in Brighton of a Saturday lunchtime, and I can't see why it makes sense for Falmer to compete with them.

 

[Return of the Rev]

still no fans bar

 

[severnside gull]

Do you know something Rev, I was someone who was actively involved throughout the protests and made many lifelong friends along the way. Do I feel sold out in any way by the plans at Falmer? not at all. I am over the frickin moon at what lies ahead for us.

The Albion exists (the single most important thing we fought for), has a new ground (better than any of us could have hoped), are not debt laden as a result, and should be able to compete on the pitch (without fear of going bust) for years to come.

Do I mourn not having some 'exclusive' fans bar in recognition for something all fans should have done anyway. Hell no. Those fans that want exclusivity are paying for it, those that don't are spoilt for choice.

Each to their own of course. For me, I will be as happy as a pig in sh!te quaffing a beer anywhere in our new ground on that first happy day.

Great post. I will be with you

 

[Return of the Rev]

Great post. I will be with you

i'll join you for one,first bar on the right next to the toilets

 

[attila]

still no fans bar

Hang on, hang on....

 

[severnside gull]

"One swallow doesn't make a marriage"? Course it doesn't Rev. ....It makes a mouth full of spunk which is pretty appropriate coming from you don't you think?


We will have the best facilities outside of a very few elite clubs. Relax and enjoy it and hope that the football will match the rest of the matchday experience or you might have something to really moan about.

 

[Daffy Duck]

BUT I LIKE BEING AN ORDINARY FAN.

Oops, sorry, forgot to take my caps lock off!

 

[attila]

Non exclusive, first come first served, no cliques or guest lists, real ale (I wish Dark Star would get their FINGERS OUT and TALK to the people they are supposed to be talking to, bloddy disorganised HIPPIES!!) that's what has been agreed...

 

[desprateseagull]

so, is t gonna be burgers and stuff, or (as at Delia Stadium, Norwich , a propa sit down option?

 

[severnside gull]

so, is t gonna be burgers and stuff

yes

.............unless you go gold/platinum

 

[webbyson]

i'll join you for one,first bar on the right next to the toilets

But surely the point is that the concourse will be one of the smartest in a football ground in Britain and it will be almost like standing in a pub full of football fans.........where is the difference?

 

[Notters]

yes

.............unless you go gold/platinum

FFS! Why is there this assumption that only rich people eat healthy food. I wish they'd have something decent in the concourses.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Does it matter about a "fans bar?".

Surely people will meet with their friends in the concourse? Even more so if they are sitting together for the game anyway.

Surely EVERY bar/place serving drinks is a "fans bar".

Besides which there is also the Swan and Hikers as well for the proper "pub" experience.
