[Albion] The Terrace Opening this Saturday

[Bozza]

As I thought it would all collide including the walking your drink back to wandering for a table that doesn't exist. Im amazed I read somewhere it can accommodate 1,000 then I read it can accommodate 3,000 in better weather, what's that all about? does that mean they will remove benches or some or the extra 2,000 are lurking outside creating and even bigger bottle neck? Im tempted to say its not thought through but actually it most likely is in so far as grab as much money off fans as you can with little regard to service. Ive heard some fans say they never received their pre-ordered drinks and gave up attempting to purchase them. Sure some will not return but we have such a captive audience he club know just like selling seats others will fill their space. I really hope it all gets sorted but doubt it can because of mostly the lack of space design and too many people trying to access it. Yes its new but I dont see how it will have less demand for future matches.

The 3,000 is 1,000 inside, and a further 2,000 people outside the building, ie milling around the stadium as used to be the case when people bought beers from the Harvey's van.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Be interesting what time it starts filling up significantly on Weds what with it being a nice and sunny afternoon but most folk stuck at work.

What happens when the 2001st person rocks up outside? What if they get served and take their pint to outside the West Stand, are they still 2001? Would love to know the science!

It can only be an estimate as there's no defined fenced-off area.

Is there any limit on how far around the ground you can take a beer? You can't go beyond the beer forcefield heading towards the station, but I'm not aware that you'd be stopped if you did a complete lap of the stadium, pint in hand.

No restrictions at all on Glenn Murray mound

I believe the license covers the whole of the outer concourse

What was the capacity of Dick’s out of interest?

I think The Terrace will definitely have an impact on reducing train queues for afternoon matches and matches in the warmer months.

Not convinced it will for evening games or those in the colder months, but I’ll be very happy to be proven wrong!

Cannot see on what planet 600 people are fitting downstairs without it being unbearable in there.

Love that…

THE BEER FORCEFIELD.

Yup. Hence a 17 year old who was stopped from entering the ground a while back as the stewards had seen him drinking a can of beer and his ST came up as ‘child’. His dad had to argue the toss about him getting in.

I hope the club do realise the emphasis is on the person selling the beer to the underage person, not the other way round.

The key bit here is that the event also includes a two-hour after party set from an "international superstar DJ"

I know that, for contract reasons, the international superstar DJ can not be named, but there's a very well-known one who supports the Albion...

The ticket price also includes food.

So are the players awards actually in the Terrace, or is it a live stream there. Sorry if that’s a dumb question.

Do you have to have a f***ing Amex Card to even know about this event?

You just get to enjoy the live stream in there! Only £75 to be at the front to watch the stream!
