In the East stand and was about £10 to get in! Think it is the Goldstone restaurant for east 1901 now.

It was above the East, very short lived, they might have charged in the end but I went in there twice, I certainly wouldn’t have paid. I do recall Amstel in a proper glass though.
I’m far from anxious: I’m just trying to make conversation. As I said, I’m just interested.
There is that car park area around there between the stadium and the road so possibly a bigger footprint than initially obvious.
Edit: Looking on the satellite image, forgot about the railway track. Unless it’s built so trains can run underneath a section…. With the car park as well, it’s a big bit of land.

It looks great and and would be a massive improvement on what is already there although looking at the space I think it’s going to be a lot smaller than what people are expecting.

It looks good. Somewhere under cover, that's not a grey concourse to have a beer pre match can only be a good thing. Unless they say no under 18's like Dicks bar, then I'll be grumpy (unless Jnr isn't with me). 
Edit - Sorry quoted wrong post!
No chance it will go above the railway.
I’d imagine footprint will be something like this.

Pretty much what was in the programme
Not sure why you think it's a box park clone? Box park has numerous different food outlets which this is unlikely to have as it will be one caterer. Apart from that, a box park is just a few bars in a rectangular building. You might as well say it's a Wetherspoons clone or a Greene King clone etc etc. Not knocking box park as used it for both semi finals and it was great but that was partly because of the ex players wandering around and chatting plus the stuff on the big screen etc.

Listen to me!!!
I like that. Far better than standing under the bike shelters before the game today.
Chief executive and deputy chairman Paul Barber said, “I am sure fans will be extremely excited to see these plans and designs, and this is another incredibly generous investment by our chairman Tony Bloom.
"We all loved the the Box Park experience on our two most recent trips to Wembley, and we wanted to give supporters something similar for every home game at the Amex.

I'll be all over this like a tramp on chips. There is literally NO downside.
Hopefully it'll have x3 - x4 the capacity of Dicks. That'll entice me to arrive early and / or leave late. Big screens, grog, scrag, sluts, noodles, Richie Reynolds, Müller Rice, table football, nitrous oxide, Elton John.
I'm ALL IN

I hope when you're watching the big game, noodles dripping down your chin, a slut on one arm table football handle on the other, tapping your feet to Elton and off you're tree on NOS you'll spare a thought for those poor bats who've been randomly hitting things since 2011

Its a point well made. Somehow, in all the excitement, I Iost focus on those bats and their impending collisions.
I'm going to take a few minutes and think about what I've done.
So does anyone think they will lay on the same stuff that was at the box park? Peraonally, can't see it being anything like the Box Park experience but I might be proved wrong.

shape looks like it'll create a problem with crowd flow from the East Stand. make it longer for more sq ft and less poncey styling.
