Out of curiosity, why would it change people's decision on buying away tickets? The club have confirmed that the beam back at The Terrace won't go on sale until the away tickets allocation is sold out. Will someone really take the risk and not buy an away ticket and sit and hope that it actually sells out so they can watch the beam back instead?
This was the question I asked when the Palace game went on sale. That was a limited away allocation and Brentford was easy to get to so would always sell out.
Wolves was the first test as to selling out 3000 tickets when it was guessed the game would be shown live. All 3 did sell out at the away ground.
NOTE I went to all those games so Spurs will be my first visit to The Terrace.

I'm in. Always an interesting away day! Could be a bit feral in the home end if Ange is still in charge, unless they've won the Europa League.

In an ideal world, maybe.

But for, say, a long northern away trip where you might not be able to afford the travel, or you have other stuff on that day meaning you simply can't travel, The Terrace offers the chance to see the game in a decent environment surrounded by other Albion fans.

It seems to have been very well received by those who have used it to date for the beambacks.

It' would be perfect for a European away game, should we ever make it again.

Mate and I are both in the first tier of ticket sales, indeed I've done most away this season. But age is getting the better of us and need to sit at the ground, and Spurs is safe standing. As much as sitting at the front and hugging JP as he runs over having scored the winner does get me excited, the long walk back to the coach and not having the best of views from the front means we're not going.

I get your point, just not my cup of tea. I also understand if you miss out on the points required.

In this case, Spurs is not far to travel and is the last game of the season, i know where i would rather be.

Even if both sides play out a friendly with their Speedos and flip-flops on?

The club say this Sports Bar and Grill meet up is a 5 minute walk from Liverpool Street station but Google Maps has it as taking 17 minutes. Am I missing something?

Why? All the Euro games were on Sky or BT sorry cant recall which one as an extra and fans gathering im sure it would be an attraction for some but not a necessity
Sorry was the debate about beambacks being a necessity?
Or am I being whooshed??

I suspect, I'm not alone in being an Albion fan without a Sports subscription.
I would imagine there could easily be 500 people who fancy the idea of watching the game, with some like-minded folk on decent screens, with a few beers.
