[Albion] The Terrace Opening this Saturday

[Titanic]

most prem away grounds still have plenty of this

Sadly, not most, but Wolves and Villa spring to mind.

I was hoping there might be a late release of beamback tickets so I could go with Mrs Earle(I've got parking just in case) but after reading this thread I'm not sure we'd want to be in there!

So more now available

 

[Guinness Boy]

Yeah definitely, I’m not debating that, but it can never come close to watching a live match in the stadium.

Absolutely this. In the past, when the lad was younger and in a lower tier than me we'd always miss out on Palace tickets. This season I've actually got a seat with a view and that's from putting in the yards over a few recent seasons. There's nowhere else I'd rather watch the game.

However, had the Terrace existed in those seasons where he was T3 and beam backs were done then I'd rather watch it on a huge screen with a pint than on a dodgy stream at home. It has its place but it should never replace going to a game.

Yeah because I think it’s a crazy view to not want to be watching it in person in the ground and rather in some retina burning adult playpen. Football is meant to be watched in real life. I get it was semi serious, but considering some of the shit tips I’ve watched football in, I’d never consider wanting to watch it on TV over watching it live in person.

That was in the days before CNN tho eh

If you wish you were in the Terrace instead of Selhurst Park, I’m sorry but football isn’t for you.

WE were in a hurry to grab tickets early for this match, to avoid one specific pitfall. If you have ever experienced the back right hand corner of the stand, a quarter of the pitch is not viewable, due to the angle of the roof. A handily sized 22" CRT TV screen is located under the roof to keep the away fans engaged with the action.

It was appropriate for an age when watching Final Score through the window of radio rentals qualified as Saturday afternoon entertainment. A far cry from the Terrace and its big screen experience.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

OK, I've caved. Mrs Earle has swerved it, but I'll give it a go as the Albion pestered me again this morning.

Chelsea and Spurs both do
