[Albion] The Terrace Opening this Saturday

[Dick Swiveller]

I watched it in Uckfield, it was marvellous!

Yep - and we got a free T shirt from the previous season last away game for some apparent reason!

ive been to both beam backs at the terrace and other than the results, really enjoyed them. The Terrace is not crap for beambacks to the hundreds of people who enjoyed them, they may be crap for you, which is a totally different thing. Watching a beamback on a tv in a lounge where you can barely see the screen, for me would be crap, id rather watch at home where at least I can get close enough to see on my tv

The Terrace isnt for everyone, it isnt meant to be, but its a great addition for those who like it, and can be ignored by those who dont

The Terrace beam backs have been good, I agree but the beam backs in the lounges when we played in The Championship were also very good.
I would say watching in a lounge at The Amex was more comfortable.

Well you were lucky as although they said one per party, people just grabbed them and even though I was quite quickly to the front they were all gone.

They were on the seats last season at Newcastle.

Edit: this response was nothing to do with the beambacks, apologies

Must have been a later showing as they were draped on every seat for mine

Well I was at the Terrace beam backs,and yes I CAN say that the majority of people enjoyed the venue,. it was fairly easy to see that , especially when we equalised, that the vast majority of people were enjoying it. The singing, cheering, chanting, happy faces, and general talking to people there gave that away.. There is disappointment in defeat yes, but to say no one can enjoy the occasion if we lose is nonsensical. Im pretty sure most of the West Ham fans on Saturday were enjoying themselves immensely up to the 88th Minute. I enjoyed going to Wembley twice, despite the defeats, I have enjoyed plenty of matches where we lost, especially when we have been playing "top teams" and given them a good game

As I said in my previous post, just because YOU dont fancy it ,or enjoy it, doesn't mean others cant. You may well have enjoyed the Europa league match beambacks , and the wins were probably more enjoyable than the defeats-thats no surprise is it, but others will have preferred the beam backs at the Terrace . Some people like standing , others like to be seated, it takes all sorts.

The "club gave us no other options" is a bit rich, how many other clubs provide beambacks of any away games, effectively for free (first drink covers entrance fee). Before The Terrace opened there was no beam backs , so the club have provided something but your response is a bit "If I dont like it no one can, and why cant the club just do what I want. "

Clearly you never went to the terrace beamback if you think no one enjoyed it as on both occasions clearly although disappointed, huge numbers of people did enjoy the occasion. If you genuinely cant attend a match and enjoy watching unless we win, I feel a bit sorry for you

Pretty sure I mentioned I went to the Palace beamback at The Terrace. And I enjoy pretty much every home match. But you seem pretty triggered so I'll leave it there.

It’s been shown before at the Duke of Yorks and also a couple of independent cinemas in Sussex.

For about 5-minutes

Well thats understandable. I'm not sure for the cinemas of Sussex - they view Stand or Fall up there with a Minecraft Movie or Sinners

I agree that just because some people didn’t enjoy the Terrace, doesn’t mean it is a failure.

There is this mentality of “I didn’t like it so it’s s*hit”

I attended the Brentord beamback with my son and thoroughly enjoyed it… we got there early, sat ourselves down on the benches downstairs…

Watched the game on 3 massive screens… I bought him an orange juice which then allowed me to use the free drinks tokens for 2 free pints…

Enjoyed a sing song with some other Albion fans then we made our way home.

The result was disappointing… but my afternoon wasn’t.

All for the paltry sum of £12.

For me, I personally wouldn’t attend a beamback in the lounges… I have been to events in the lounges before and they just weren’t for me..: but I don’t begrudge anyone that does prefer this.

Whilst I agree that the Terrace would have been designed to be as inclusive as possible… it really won’t have been designed for EVERYONE.

31,000 plus people turn up to the Amex every week to watch the match… each will have different likes, wants, needs and circumstances.

My Mrs apparently likes slightly overweight 6 ft bald men with beards…

Whilst I like leggy blondes with large bristols…

World would be a dull place if we all wanted the same thing.

If you like the Terrace - go back and enjoy it.

If you hated it - probably give it a miss.

spot on, and I don't understand why some don't seem to understand this. If you dont like it, dont use it .simples.
