[Albion] New fan zone - "The Terrace" [Opening 1/4/25 v Aston Villa]

[Invicta]

Think it look great, a step up from half a dozen caravan outlets currently there ! More Wembley than Withdean!

Away every other week during the season so a lot of Thursday to Sunday periods to utilise.

For the useable I originally envisaged, It’s not as straight forward as this though, see #58.

A good friend is a tour manager, I’m seeing him on Friday. Be interesting to get his thoughts on the logistics of my original thinking. I personally only don’t think it will happen/ my original interpretation wasn’t correct.

I doubt it as I'm not aware of any other fan zones at other grounds charging!!

Could be it'll be run along the lines of the short-lived 'Seven Stars' lounge of a few years back. That had an entrance fee. As of course does the Boxpark

 

[dstanman]

Will look good walking up from the station. Hopefully will be open after games as well

 

[Weststander]

Wow, that’s amazing.

One quality project after another. Whilst at Smellhurst projects take a lifetime.

Hardly any PL clubs have fanzones like this (no space, ££ for investment, or won’t prioritise fan facilities)

The ones that do - Southampton, Man City - are free. Would you use it if there was an entrance fee ? Of course not.

 

[b.w.2.]

References Dicks Bar space being utilised for the north stand experience, could it be the first step to actually putting a shelf along the back of the north?

This is what is actually needed...

Where will it be located outside the shop or the car park behind the away end?

 

[Sorrel]

Looks great - I wonder what the capacity in relation to Dicks Bar will be? Or perhaps: how long before kick-off will you have to arrive to get in here? I guess we will find out.

 

[Sheebo]

Sorry if this has been covered in the article etc but I was told a while ago Dicks will be no longer and will be used as an extension of the club shop. That makes sense with this news.

And no need. The profit/ROCE will be on the sales.

It’s where the drinks/food outlets are now so in between the ticket office/meeting point (the crest circle) and the row of mini vans hosting the coffee, DJ, fish/chips, drinks vans.

A Sushi restaurant would make more sense with our new, welcomed fanbase.

Or a vegan place full of natural green stuff which uses no power and has a ban on swearing for another element of our fanbase called the ‘NSC bar’ (you can only cycle there and have to be dressed in full Lycra too).

This comment on Instagram made me chuckle…

Have you looked at the pictures? Unbelievable Jeff

 

[BNthree]

Has this been said? Or guessing?

It’s been discussed loads on here as club have said they want to do it. Think they even put in a planning application in for it a few years ago.

From the pictures it replaces the existing beer and food stalls opposite the ticket office windows.

Car charging ports outside, no one allowed a differing opinion or admits to taking flights
