[Albion] The Terrace Opening this Saturday

[Oh_aye]

The booze or something else certainly took its toll. Some was filling a NS urinal with vomit at normal FT, people were concerned about him. After the pens loss, an 18 year old lad was karate kicking bins and head-butting metal doors.

I think he's 20 now and missing a penalty is hard to take.

 

[Weststander]

There was an 18 year old (well he slurred that he was 18) throwing up in his seat in N1D, about 20 minutes before ko, stewards had to take him out as all his "mates" had disappeared. I'm not even sure he was in his seat.

We’re in N1D. Did you notice ‘response’ stewards quietly cajoling a pissed up stalwart down the steps and out, on circa 75 minutes?

No missed that one

I don’t think anyone cares enough do they? I’d just think “knob” and wouldn’t give them a second thought. A few young ‘ins over doing alcohol and getting lairy is to be expected. We’ve all been there.
it’s not always the young ones, but I’m more tolerant of them because I can (vaguely) remember over indulging at their age too (still do at times) - being pissed is ok, the lairy stuff is just annoying.

Folk just laughed.

Speak for yourself .

Speaking for everyone probably during their yoof. A good chunder after one too many is a rite of passage!

Yeah, saw him being taken out. His mates bailing is pretty rubbish. Still, hopefully he’s ok and will learn from that.

 

[Stuart Munday]

Seemed to be something happening in the first half in the North, lots of arguing with a steward and a couple of guys not being able to let it go.

Oh it’s definitely annoying but it’s usually tolerable and I try to remember being young once too. And yep, like you, I give youngsters a bit of a break. But someone Middle aged acting lairy similarly is a bit, well, undignified and sad really. How old were today’s ruffians, and what handbags did they have?

you shouldn’t piss off your own fans, that’s where they need a little steer.

It was two young lads fighting in a way that resembles interpretative street dance with a couple of punches thrown.

Last time for me was NYE 1993/94 ….. following some hideous Diamond White Cidar. Said never again.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

There were 4 or 5 what looked like 11 year old lads giving it large to the forest fans as they walked past the terrace after the game. Shat themselves when a few geezers turned and faced them

 

[Soton Seagull]

Probably by design, the experience in the plebs area was so bad today I actually applied for an Amex card in the pub post match just to have hope of going in to somewhere where I beleive I will actually receive my ordered beer.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Terrible creation by the club. Too small for purpose. Got there at 3pm and absolutely no chance of getting anywhere near the bar. Hundreds spilling onto the concourse with drinks causing severe congestion and difficulty passing.
This is an uncontrolled mess and will be avoided by many.

Similar year for me. Tuxedo Junction Nightclub Eastbourne. Tuesday nights £1 for a bottle of Becks and shot of Tequila.

What a time to be alive.

 

[Arrid]

Went upstairs about an hour after the game DJ doing fantastic, generally people getting over the game. Within 5 minutes three people on the forum talking there stuff about BHA. Unless you stood in front you couldn’t hear it, didn’t want to hear it and the place emptied.

I could never drink that stuff even back then, it was rough as a badgers…! I’m a lemon and soda water kinda guy these days, easier on the head

Not going to bother. Agree with you, it has created a daft pinch point, making the concourse feel a bit overcrowded. The two tier Amex card holding nonsense can do one too - my money is as good as a credit card holder’s. My ST status shouldn’t mean I’m excluded from a bloody bar area.

Lol! Agree and yes, sounds about right - Colin firth v hugh grant is a typical “fight” most of the time. All a bit amusing to watch

They would have been better off making series of smaller permanent blocks of bars / eateries around the perimeter to be honest.

It's an odd old thing alright. Maybe it'll just take a while for everyone to get used to it and for the throughput to be more smooth and staggered. Potentially just a big rush as its just opened.
