The Wetherspoon’s game: why thousands of people are buying food and drink for strangers
A Facebook group has gone viral with a karmic proposition: all you can eat and drink at the pub if you promise to do a similar favour some day. How has it become so popular?

Started in 2018, the 'Wetherspoons Game and Giveaway' group on Facebook - not endorsed by the UK pub chain - encourages people to buy drinks for strangers via the pub's ordering app.

It is mad that in this world of awareness around lifestyle choices that some bars continue to offer such abysmal choice for the non alcohol drinker. Ah well.
I remain sceptical that this new bar isn't just going to cause those who drink in the stadium bowl post match to migrate to the fanzone instead, causing enormous queues and no material difference to pressure on trains. Beyond that though, looks like the club have built a bloody good facility that those lucky enough to get in will make the most of. It's nice seeing people excited about something at the Amex that isn't just the football

Don't discount Orchard Thieves. Not tried Symonds Founders Reserve - sounds decent.
I get the new fan zone, good on the club and look forward to being there Saturday but as you say the choices for someone who would like a low / alcohol beer due to driving but limited to Heineken piss is pretty poor on the club.

Really?
Not sure what the average volume of low alcohol beer sales are, but I'd suspect it's not high.
There are plenty of other alternatives for people driving.

On March 12th the Argus had an article on the opening of the Terrace (when it was confirmed that it WOULD open for Forest) where they state "these are the answers we were given by the club."
Hence my post yesterday in response to @Tom Hark Preston Park's erroneous claim that began this mini-conversation:-

Hope you’ve got your packed lunch and bottle of pop ready.Having seen the stupidly long queues for the simple coffee shack outside the Amex recently, and the stupidly long queues for Dick's Bar before that, the Terrace queue will be three times longer and three times more worth swerving. Will save meself for the crowd-controlled ticketed Palace beamback thanks for asking. The Amex matchday experience just got better by yet more queueing - said no one ever

You don’t. It’s brought to you by a buxom fraulein from Munich carrying ten steins of Heineken’s finest in each hand. Enjoy!

At least you’re sitting down - that’s ever so slightly better than standing up, or sitting on a rather ‘moist’ North Stand concourse floor post match.

You’ve obviously never sampled the delights of Watney’s Red Barrel then.
P.S. Those of us of a certain age will remember that boiled up cat’s piss.

Wonder if there will be a period post-match when both will be open?

Formally Croydon Seagull
There needs to be a collection hatch outside facing and loads of picnic style benches and covered gazebos scattered around IMO. If it's not tipping it down you could encourage up to 10k fans to rock up early and enjoy some food and beers.

A couple of these dotted around would accommodate those not able to squeeze into the Terrace as relative low cost.

Yes. Understand why its Heineken Zero but these days there's so much choice and good quality AF out there. Although i think they are also selling Guinness Zero.
At Lewes FC - they sell cans of this from a local brewery which is vg.
