[Albion] The Tunnel Club (Part 2).

[Cowfold Seagull]

I know a thread already exists on the recent building work to construct the new hospitatlity area, (presumably finished now), but l have been unable to find it, so mods please merge if necessary.

I was simply wondering if any pics exist of how the area around the tunnel and dug out areas look now. Curious as to what my view of it will be from my seat in the Lower West when l return for the Arsenal game on New Year's Eve.

A friend’s son has been working on the upper West steels, pic from yesterday. One workman did manage to get Ulloa’s penalty miss against Boro ball down from the roof too.

I went on a Stadium tour a few weeks back - an Xmas present for my lad from pre covid which was due to expire. If memory serves, they are just making a start on it now, this won't complete until the Summer, so it won't be complete by any stretch. They appear to be digging down given the massive piles of chalk around the place.

I've got some pictures from early December somewhere if needs be.

Have they made STs from that area move does anyone know?

Seats are going back in prior to the next game and no-one will be moved. I didn't ask about the following season.

Well l don't like the look of that . . . it had better not impede my view of the pitch from W1G.

Don't worry. They'll remove the crane before kick off.

You say that, but could do a job…

Reminds be of a brilliant 90's venue in Glasgow, The Tunnel club.

This was about 10 days ago.

A swathe of seats in W1D (behind the away dugout) had been removed to give access for the works.

Supposedly the tunnel lounge will have a glass wall to see through into the tunnel.

IMO it's a shame the club is spending a small fortune (which they will no doubt recoup so I get it) on something for a few well heeled fans rather than concentrating minds (and maybe spending a bit of money) on improving the transport to/from the stadium on match days, which seems to be constantly brushed under the carpet.

Sadly if money is to be made, then nothing else matters.

Welcome to the modern world.

Good question for a forum...

They shuffled the seats closer together to get 'extras' in previously in that (our) area, when they put our seats back they had better not shuffle them up even closer together to get this tunnel in.

Are we getting these with the new food outlets they talk about? Or just more burger vans?

Quite happy for them to extract as much as they can from those that have buckets to spend as it helps keep the price of my ticket down (as long as they don't get to jump the queue for away tickets).

Im guessing the end result will be similar to Spurs new stadium where you can see the players walking through the tunnel.

I’m sure both can be worked on at the same time but not sure why they shouldn’t improve the stadium just because the bendy buses have been de commissioned by the bus company and the railway workers are on strike.
