Fantastic Stout, surely....

I never buy food at the Amex, is it already that expensive? Feel bad for people with families wanting burgers for 16 quid each!

It’s the same, roughly, as any event catering or bar meal.

It’s the same, roughly, as any event catering or bar meal.

Agreed but it's not quite the same though. I agree that £16 for a burger is about the same as I'd pay in a pub in Brighton, however in a pub in Brighton I'd expect:
It to be cooked fresh from quality ingredients
Come on a plate with cutlery
I'd sit at a table
Be delivered to my table
Be cleared away
If the Terrace experience is like that then £16 is OK, I'm highly doubting it though.

Concourse food is similar in price/quality/experience to a fast food take away burger joint, which is fine.

Its similar to like a box park experience, which to be fair I'd expect to pay similar despite how high the price is.

So to calculate based on the percentages of the poll so far. I have assumed that Nottm Forest fans will not attempt to enter The Terrace and based on them bringing full FA Cup allocation of 6,000 fans.

Let's say 25,000 Albion fans in attendance.

65% won't attempt to get in = 16,250
2.6% Will be there for opening time = 650
3.6% will be there before 1pm = 900
20.5% will be there before 4pm = 5,125
8.2% plan to try to get in after 4pm = 2,050

Edit: 25 people will be in limbo because of a rounding factor in the above calcs.

Good luck everyone!

Despite my moaning to begin with, I just decided to get an Amex so its worked.

And come with chips and salad (and have 2-for-1 Meal Deal Days when it costs about as much as it should have cost in the first place)

It's ~4,500 isn't it? 15% of the capacity.

 

[Bob!]

It's ~4,500 isn't it? 15% of the capacity.

Capacity is around 32,000 now, so maybe 4,800?

So, 27,000 Albion fans...

Had my first pint of Murphys in years just a couple of days ago.

Amazingly just £5.65 a pint - in a pub just off Drury Lane, Covent Garden.

Food at the concourse windows isn't as expensive as that but The Terrace seems more a "premium" option. Same sort of prices as at Sussex Cricket a couple of seasons ago (when I last went).

THIS is a very good point the experience i doubt will even be Weatherspoon Standard BUT I havent experienced it yet so I will keep an open mind and be interested to know what others say o the forum after theyve tried it.

The £16 burger is the most expensive menu item across the entire thing. Its a triple burger and not that typical.
THe other "normal" burgers are basically a similar price to what you'd expect to pay in a premium burger place like Five Guys , or a Burger Brothers where their burgers are routinely £10+ and where you don't necessarily get any of the above. (apart from the fresh ingredients )

I was looking forward to being with you on the picket line outside.
