[Albion] **** NSC OFFiCIAL Palace Beamback Thread **** (No pressure Terrance...)

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Overall impressions of the beamback: got there 30 mins before kick-off. Very small queue to get in. Efficient entry. 1st member of staff scans your ticket, 2nd mos gives you a pink wristband, 3rd mos gives you a drinks voucher. Efficient bar service, drink served in seconds on production of voucher. Subsequent drinks also served efficiently with little or no queues. No need for clunky app either, just pay by card exactly same as on concourse. Multiple screens everywhere, you'd be hard pushed to find a restricted view of the action. It was easy to move around, plenty of space, and because it was enclosed, there was no wind tunnel effect as was reported in midweek. No restrictions on going upstairs, which was nice. Didn't order food, but it looked pretty good from what I could see. Also from what I could see you'd be hard pushed to find somewhere to sit down and eat it. As with Dick's Bar, the seat-hoggers were out in force and fiercely guarded every available seat. Mildly annoying, tho I guess there's not a lot that can be done about that other than employing somebody to zap some of the hogger-buggers with a cattle prod occasionally pour encourager les autres.

Overall I found it a quite impressive space to watch a beamback and would recommend it to anyone who is able to watch an entire match without any guarantee of getting a seat. Not sure I'd fancy the downstairs congestion on a matchday though.

It does seem that way at times. Tinkering with the cash flow streams rather than the team.

If Starlizard says there’s absolutely no value in any defensive midfielder, LB, RB or CB in world football, 4 windows in a row, then TB simply won’t buy. Even if it cripples RDZ and FH.

Kerkez, Wharton, Endo, Huijsen, etc …. suggests that’s bollocks.

Infrastructure FC …. Plucky called us.

Yep. All the while we’re chasing best pie, best customer service, best beamback etc then all we’ll win is best plastic cups (at the serving hatch)

Do we win a cup for that?

(It's probably plastic, but any cup will do at the moment...)

And yes, yes I have decided to call the venue Terrance.

With Forest here for the opening and rivals Palace today, was it the Terrance Trent Derby?

“We lost because of the Terrace” is a new one on me, but delighted we have a new scapegoat

Terrance OUT!

Does this make our games against Forest the Terrance-Trent Derby?

Food ordering was a pain, drink ordering was fine. Arriving at 14:40 I expected no chance of a seat and I wasn't disappointed.

The screens were nice and big (though a pity about some of the football on them). May go to another beam-back one day, but not often.

Oh dear, you are suffering tonight. You do know that as a club, we want to win everything we enter and why shouldn’t we?

You'll be disappointed with that effort not to read post #45 (4 posts above yours)

Yep, but maybe after we’ve got some silverware in more than 125 years of trying.

Great experience at the terrace other than obviously the result. Upstairs a bit easier to look at the huge screens without looking up & cranking your neck a bit unless you are towards the back.

Food ordered not via the app but on a touchscreen - worked well. It not waited 5 mins.

Easy to get in & helpful staff. Shame Ayaryi couldn’t score that last min chance !

just got back, crap result, but loved the Terrace, have already got tickets for Brentford. Not too crowded, easy to get beer. The screens are great and with the "free" pint made for a great afternoon. Had we won I could see that it would have been rocking all evening. Not sure how many stayed behind after but for anyone wondering if its woorth going I'd say yes!

It cleared out pretty quickly, we stayed behind until just before 6 and there wasn’t many in there.
Definitely impressed with the Terrace.
