I've seen the Tunnel Club via a tour of the Etihad which I did through work. It is very impressive, and expensive. If memory serves me right its around a £500 a match 'experience'. Give me an old school ground every day of the week, although obviously Selhurst would be a step too far.

Well lets face it, some outdoor pre-entry entertainment is badly overdue l think, the bandstand has now gone, along with most of the bands that played there, there is nowhere to shelter from inclement weather, (other than the superstore, or Dick's Bar), and no toilet facilities either.

I was at Newport County in the week - they have marquees, beer tents , DJ, outside big screen, toilets and it works well. Brighton could do a lot worse then take a look here

Has any work actually been completed yet? as l haven't seen any evidence of anything at all, despite the pictures of the groundwork and the crane et al on here.

Frustrating isn’t it? There certainly seems to be a lack of transparency over this whole project.

It’s all a bit prawn sandwich isn’t it.

I wonder if people in the tunnel club will be allowed to keep their bottle tops?

Yes, and I bet they name check everyone attending and have a tick list as they arrive

Barber spoke about it on a popular podcast just a few weeks ago and at a fan forum event before Xmas and his programme notes - published in the club website several times.

They , as far as I can tell, plan something exactly like this.

I thought The Tunnel Club was a video featuring Katie Price and a cast of thousands.

I was in the line for a coffee opposite the club shop on Saturday when a couple of chaps who were unfamiliar with the ground asked where could they go for a pee. I told them that I thought their only option was to enter the stadium.
As they said they need to go urgently they disappeared around the back of the fish & chips shack.

I'm not sure how many other football clubs provide toilet blocks outside the stadium (I know Arsenal do), but I'm sure some new facilities will be a welcome addition for those drinking outside the Amex pre-match.
I believe they are in the development plans.

The building of the Tunnel just shows how times have changed with the never ending demand for hospitality. In the meantime the many supporters that cant afford a ticket are left in cold. Shame but thats PL football.

And a naughty step to stand on if you step out of line.
