So, it looks like the Villa game is confirmed for April 1st then.

That was my first thought but, assuming that's announced today, it will surely have to be moved if we (or Villa tonight) win on Sunday and our next game is scheduled for the Sunday before the Villa game?
I love the idea of them showing all our away matches though. Great investment from TB.

So you can only go upstairs if you have an Amex card.
Not for the rest of this season by the sounds of it , probably enforced next year.

American Express will also be extending invitations to non-card hold members at most games for the rest of this season to ensure the space is fully utilised every matchday.

They can only show away games that have been selected for UK TV coverage.

It probably remains to be seen if they will open for the (rare) Saturday 3pm away games that are not being screened.

They were never going to open this thing without some sort of weird exclusivity clause, I'll be sticking to the concourse for the foreseeable after the game. No point going in there if a load of my mates can't also go because they don't want or need an Amex card.
The Amex bit is only the mezzanine level.

Or, possibly, one section of the mezzanine level.

Having just watched one of the club's fly-through videos, it looks like there is more seating space upstairs than down, which would make it slightly lop-sided if Amex cardmembers (plus guests) have access to more space than everyone else.

It also looks like the stage area is upstairs so, again, it would feel a bit strange to exclude the bulk of fans from this.

It should easily be fully utilised every game anyway. I wonder how many invitations they will be sending and to who, it could end up being another corporate area with a few Amex card holders and their guests added on.
