[Albion] The Terrace Opening this Saturday

[portlock seagull]

hmmmm, reading all the negative revues on here makes me wonder if I should bother even going on Saturday...
Surely the things folks are moaning about are just teething problems and can be ironed out, or simply folks find something else to moan about and get used to it. I will reserve judgement until my visit on Saturday, No promises I will still be there on 85 minutes though.....

It’s is what it is. Teething issues at football stadiums don’t ever go away. Adapt or don’t use. It’s really that simple. Some won’t mind, others will be put off by.

If you normally drink Malibu and coke, perhaps you have to adapt your tastes when at a large sporting event!?

I popped in to the Amex lounge with my son post match last night, had a quick beer watching the remnants of the Liverpool match. Swimming against the tide with this opinion, but I thought it was great! Got served quickly and great seating to watch the match.

What I couldn't work out before the game was why people were queuing downstairs for beer at the bar when there were numerous backpacked booze sellers wandering around... maybe finding something to complain about.

The problem with the backpack blokes is you don't know what you're buying til you get to the front of the queue.

The signs on their backs just say LAGER and it turns out what I was buying was Heineken - no idea if that is the lager of choice sold by all of them or they all sell different lagers.

I wasn't too bothered, just pleased to get served - I know some people are more fussy about what beer they drink.

Probably a good idea to have the brand on the sign.

This!

And much like @CheeseRolls says, if that DJ or band say that they want to 'take us higher' or 'everyone bounce' after we've lost a pivotal game in the season again, I'll lose the plot. It’s not fun we've just lost.

Maybe some Smiths after a loss?

Well tbf I'm not going to be happy with the music unless they are playing some unlistenable Post-Punk Nonsense or My Bloody Valentine so I'm a tough crowd.

Interesting, so they do all sell different lagers then.

What [goal] difference does it make?

I’m sure the sound of Morri-seagull singing this will work well.

In fairness, I wasn't aware they were selling this piss... I assumed it would be Heineken which I find drinkable even though I prefer an IPA or the like! Go back to your queues then chaps...

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Just looked at the app.
CAn't see anywhere where you can order from the terrace.

Can anyone point me to where this can be found?

On the app click on the white arrow to flip between apps.

Use the 'American Express Stadium' element.

Asked this last week and was explained to me that on the app at the top just to the right of the Albion logo is a down arrow. Tap that and then tap "American Express Stadium". This takes you to the "app within an app" which has the Terrace ordering on.

Heineken t shirts a clue

Not sure if it's been mentioned before but for the catering, shame they don't include the Piglet's Pantry selection.

Not sure if this should be in this thread or beamback... I can remember attending beamback for a couple of Albion games in one of hospitality lounges. Reasonal cost included a pie and a drink. Very succesful, seating for everyone. and good atmosphere. Seemed perfect. How will this compare to what will be available at Terrace for Palace etc
I will wait to hear how Saturday screening goes. When I watched away game in hospitality lounge it was good because everybodys only interest was watching the game and not getting p---d Hope it will be same in Terrace

I’m going to the Palace and Brentford beam backs, I’m definitely not expecting it to be as good as the games I saw in the hospitality lounges.
Originally for Palace and Brentford 600 tickets were sold but more were released yesterday, I don’t think everyone is going to be sitting comfortably like in the hospitality lounges.
I’m not getting there at 11am just so I can get a seat though.
