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

[Simster]

Do we know for sure if it opens for Villa or whether it might yet be Forest?

(Apologies if it has been confirmed on this thread before now but there are pages of shite I'd have to wade through to find out)

It's something I insist on doing,

There were a large number of dogs on seats on the Thameslink train back to London on Saturday.
With people standing around the carriages.

Bonkers

Yes, sorry about that. I’ll make sure Mrs.Punal sits on the floor next time.

Think the latest was the club are hoping to get it open for Forest match but definitely will have it open for Villa match.

Because everyone else were French speakers, interfering may’ve gone belly up eg the old people may’ve intimated not to worry. On UK trains I’ve asked people to move bags hogging seats.

See this all the time on UK trains - simply ask if their bag has paid for a ticket - if not move it.

Screens in the concourse on saturday said open on the 29.03.25, so Forest.

Reading the blurb for it there’s the ability to order by app so presumably you can be outside and use app to order and there will be a separate collection zone so no need to queue for entrance

I trust that means there will be WiFi coverage.

To begin with I can see this making the early stadium leavers worse as some try to get in the queue to go back into this place. Hopefully the novelty will wear off.
I thought the early leavers problem was quite a lot better on Saturday, there were still a few near me though, one couple on 82 mins, their loss.

Surely people leave early to be first on to transport? If they're missing part of the game so they can beat the queue for a beer, they're either alcoholic or beyond sad.

Similar experience at the Chelsea flower show in the food area. People would rather see others eat on the floor than give up a seat they'd reserved for no where to be seen friends.

Once again poor form shown by anything relating to Chelsea

 

[W3D]

There are a lot of unanswered questions like this. Perhaps naively, I’m presuming that all them will have been exhaustively identified and resolved as part of the planning. I can’t believe it will just open and become one great free-for-all, but then I do tend to always look on the bright side.

So at least your glass will be half full

This. I sometimes leave early to get on the first round of buses with my young lad. I wouldn't leave early just to get a beer slightly quicker

 

[The Albion Roar]

Confirmed as opening on 29th March.

Oh goodie - lots of corporate entertainment to participate in

Planning to pop in before the 1/4 KO but I wonder how long it will take to be served a drink?

People do that at every match before the halftime whistle - I get fed up having to get up and down like a yo-yo to let them out.

Plenty do that now in all stands just before half time.

True. I wouldn’t do it but at least at half-time there is the excuse that it’s the only way to get served quick enough to have time to drink the pint. Bit different afterwards.

 

[Diablo]

Do people want this ?? I go to watch the football. Almost given up on Beer/food at Amex (queues and price) and after game want to get home or to Pub depending on match start time.

Sorry I was referring to the legions that insist on going to the bars at 40 mins

I’m sure it will be full to bursting on a regular basis. It may came as a surprise but different people like different things for different reasons.
