Meh. It’s been very average when I last had one, like a different beer now. Completely clear and tastes like a lager

Lack of signage around the ground in general - woeful

I liked the fact that all the staff serving had Albion badge embossed t-shirts. Money to burn clearly!

They do this at most clubs in the league these days. Another trend we started

Sounds very nice.
Not sure we can claim to have started stuff like that. The chap who started that (and 'thanks for travelling xx miles' posters) and the camping on the pitch thing, brought most of those ideas with him from Cardiff (Tom something?).
He's at Bristol Rovers now.

Gorringe. Fair enough i know they went big on making away fans welcome.

Indeed, although I also understand that many of those initiatives were taken from other sports/countries too.
(Not a criticism at all - it makes sense to copy things you have seen working elsewhere)

Out of interest which grounds rank as 'top ones' for you?
I've not been overly impressed with many PL grounds to be honest. Spurs' ground is outstanding

They have a minority stake in the brewery.

Now I thought it was pretty good, signage all the way from Northumberland Park station to the stadium and plenty around the ground showing the blocks.

There are much more important things here than the signage. Like the thoughtful design, the magnificent home end and the overall aesthetic? It's raised the bar in so many ways and is now easily the best stadium in the country. I just hope we're back there next season.

I presume that programme-sellers are a thing of the past for this modern stadium. Or is it that they just can't cope with contactless and are not allowed dirty cash.
Another one of the few grounds where programmes are only sold behind the same counters as the beer and pies - but not every counter as I painfully found out.

We saw a programme booth outside the ground as we were making our way round to entrance 11, approaching from the Tottenham Hale direction.
Anyone else think the tier above us was really low, or had a much greater overhang than elsewhere? When they scored and their fans started hanging over the edge giving it large, they felt really close - looking forward to seeing how that pans out when West Ham/Arsenal are in town.

The only details I can find pertaining to the deal are
"Mergermarket reported that the deal would mimic its investment in south London brewery Brixton, which saw it take a 49% stake in the business to fund a move to a larger site. The brewery had researched other investment options, such as crowdfunding or private equity, but these were dismissed as “unsuitable.” Plant was at pains to reassure Beavertown’s loyal following that Heineken “do not want us to conform or change.” “They love what we do and want us to do more of it. “That support gives us the opportunity to maximise what we do best and support our partners and team along the way to achieve and grow together. “The only change will be the building of Beaverworld, hopefully with completion and beer flowing by late 2019.”"
Couldn't find any mention of a 100% deal in time, or is that just speculation?
The first hour after the ground opens.
Thought the Stadium was fantastic as good as you could get really. Much better then the Emirates. The acoustics were very good and the large stand behind the goal look great. I would be very happy if I was a spurs fan, saying that I would not swap my seat in WSU for anywhere else, love it.
