    [Albion] New fan zone - "The Terrace" [Opening 29/03/25 currently]

    This is exactly why I'm agaisnt a pay per stream agreement. Sky isn't perfect but at least the billions are distributed fairly evenly. With a system that many are advocating we'd quickly drop out of the top 20 in terms of revenue. You only need to look a social media following as a metric of...

    Similar experience at the Chelsea flower show in the food area. People would rather see others eat on the floor than give up a seat they'd reserved for no where to be seen friends.

    I had this experience at Dicks. A group put coats down, I asked if a seat was taken and they said their friends were joining later. When I asked if I could perch in the meantime, a lady glared at me. I just stood drank my pint and left. It will need managing somewhat. Be pretty rubbish if...

    I really hope the upstairs is general admission or it's going to fill very quickly

    Any photo updates from the Chelsea match? Any sign it might be finished soon?

    Decent progress. Those wrap around screens are going to look incredible

    Looks great, a bit of a shame the design doesn't match the stadium though. Stone cladding would have looked very smart imo

    They seemed to be really cracking on with it. I imagine most of it will be prefabricated off site so once the groundwork is done it will probably be completed in a matter of weeks

    I think it would be amazing if they used the club shop space to create a two floor supporters bar, the Upper floor could lead to the north stand shelf/hospitality area by escalators Build the club shop away from the ground on one of the corners perhaps.

    It will be an incredible addition but probably won't be big enough to cater for the demand. I think a couple of these for those who want to grab a beer then shelter from the elements would be ideal for when the fanzine is at capacity

    I agree, it would look amazing but just cant see being possible as those dog head supports sit right behind the cladding and are angled inwards. I guess it might be possible to wrap the west and east stand wings up to the roof supports then have a gap then add a few rows in the centre in of the...

    It will only ever be a dream I'm afraid, a proper upper tier would only be possible if they removed the concrete supports that hold the roof supports in place and made costly structural changes. Would easily run into the mid 10's of millions I'd imagine which wouldn't make sense to add less than...

    Anyone know if and when this application will go to committee or be recommended for approval? The initial consultation was two months ago and as far as I can see there's only been one comment objecting the proposal

    I had no idea! Will Google it, thank you

    Yeah take your point. I would just like another option that doesn't feel like an airport lounge or conference lounge. Something I could treat myself to for a birthday. Decent beer in a proper glass and something that resembles a pub then watch the match from a decent vantage with like minded...
