[Albion] Why don't they show highlights on the concourse any more ?

[WATFORD zero]

IIRC this stopped during Covid and I don't think it has happened since (in the NS at least). Was always a good way to have a couple of beers and let the queue die down.

If there are no sensible answers, I may have to write to PB and I really don't have time to read the reply in the next week or so

 

[Official Old Man]

Do they show the live match that's on after ours?

 

[Guinness Boy]

West Upper was showing Sky Sports. I nipped for a pint and a pee on 44 mins and was able to see the rest of the half on the telly while in the queue. Therefore at half time the limited first half highlights and analysis was on.

After the game was out in the sunshine with a big group of us but I assumed we showed the Man U game on Sky,.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

They always used to have both.

So some TV's had a later game, some TV's had highlights of the game just gone.

They need at least some volume, but surely that's the perfect set up

You are quite right they did. I very rarely hang about post game now, bit leg it as fast as my old legs will carry me, back up to the coach park steps, and my lift home courtesy of NWSS.

Certainly though pre-pandemic when occasionally l went into town afterwards, highlights were shown on some of the West Lower tv's.

In terms of the finances, surely the club would make money if they had one stand, say the north, always open late always with other matches, other sport or match highlights on. They have an audience already there, they presumably have a tonne of cooked pies, around the ground which they could gather together, they've got the infrastructure, the big screens etc

So say they committed to open till 10pm on a 3pm kick off loads of people would stay, simply because they are there already and can't be bothered to go back to town, or they just want to sing a load of songs or watch other games.

They have got to pay for a few catering staff and a few stewards, but surely the amount they take behind the bar would mean there a decent profit to be had.

 

[Wilka]

They were on in Dicks bar after the game so surprised it wasn't on around the ground as well.

Annoyingly it cut off before the end to show United v Arsenal

Interesting reply on the strikers.

That's one hell of a busy guy and he's working on a Sunday but still only takes 4 hours to reply.

Hashtag Barber OOT!

Really is incredible how responsive PB is the fans, how many CEO's in the PL do this?

 

[bhafc99]

Don’t believe it’s really him, it would be at least 40 times longer if it was. Probably just the work experience person.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Probably just the work experience person.

Who, De Zerbi ?

They haven’t been showing in the WSU either so we no longer hang around. Hopefully that will change soon.

Well I'm going for the North Stand Manager to get him to change the channels on 'my screen', I would expect nothing less from yourself !

There was no food at all in the West Upper after the game, really annoying as it was the first time in ages I had wanted one.

What is that strange looking contraption that woman is typing on at the bottom of the picture?

Enigma machine, every message PB sends has been encrypted first before transmission , she is decoding the message. This level of security is essential because DK still has spies deeply embedded in the management structure.

He is Chailey jem and I’m claiming £5. That striker reply gives it away.
