Aah...my pet hate. There you are in your seat, reasonably comfortable, then all of a sudden you find yourself squeezed, encroached upon. You realise a group of lads are ' over-occupying ' seats next to you. Had it at Palace, at Chelsea and at Wolves. You find yourself being pushed along the line, ever so slightly, bit by bit, as the lads engineer a little bit more space for themselves.
Stewards seem to let it go all the time, so it will keep happening.
Agreed but I only paid £5 (upstairs) for a pie and a pint (any pint)

Pity they didn’t think about TV camera locations!

Not sure about that as in the top bit of the Villa away 'end' the toilets were very poor and you can't buy a drink.

One of the best grounds I’ve ever visited anywhere in the world, arguably the best in this country. Absolute ******* to get home from though, got in just before 1am 
Queueing at WHL station I did yearn for Falmer!!

I assume those sitting just yards away from us (behind us on same level) were 1901 equivalent. Not sure they would be that pleased with some of the away fans you get.

Looks very nice and very imposing walking up Tottenham high road with it overhanging the road.
Security a joke, we just walked in and ended up in the Spurs end. Stewards had to let us out and direct us to the away end. Concourses were small and not practical. Ditto the toilets. Why not just have a trough rather than urinals spread out far too wide.
Beer was good and £5 for a pint of neck oil is very good value for London. Staff were shit but I assume they'll get better over time. Likewise I assume they'll get better at dispersing crowds post game.
Pretty decent view and was loud when Spurs did make some noise or boo Ryan.

The food and drink staff were clearly on a learning curve. The guy who served me was very friendly. Nice touch that they all wore white polos emblazoned with the BHAFC badge.

Were you allowed to do that? I thought the away fans (us) were kept in the bottom tier - seats and catering. Had I known I would have ventured there myself.

Just strolled up the stairs. Loads of Brighton up there & plenty of shelves & room.

The lower tier concourse had two levels (if that’s not a contradiction in terms!). Upstairs has external facing windows and was much quieter.

Atmosphere? Average.
Concourse? Same as everywhere else.
Queues? Loads
Travel? Nightmare.
Beer and food...very good.
View inside the stadium? Absolutely wonderful.

A friend of mine said there was an upper concourse with bugger all queues.
The only fault with the stadium - shelves. Somewhere to put your pint while you are eating your pie.
Other than that, it is an absolute gem. The Amex on steroids. Really impressive. And the Spurs fans - unlike their neighbours - can make a noise.

Yes there was. And the queues were a lot lighter. Plenty of space as well and toilets empty. Stewards should have eased huge congestion downstairs by telling
people.
The pies and sausage rolls were from our very own Piglets Pantry.
I also spied Beavertown-battered tofu and chips on a concourse menu, which has to be the best veggie option I've seen in a ground anywhere. I didn't get a chance to try it though - any reports?

Hopefully they sell enough neck oil for it to be considered at The Amex
