[Albion] The Terrace Opening this Saturday

[Seagull Stew]

So who's going?

 

[Hotchilidog]

Probably be there just after 4 and after the game win lose or draw

 

[pigmanovich]

For how long after the game will it be open?

 

[portslade seagull]

For how long after the game will it be open?

Didn't they say 11pm or was I dreaming that

 

[Hotchilidog]

The license runs until 11 but I'd imagine a couple of hours at least

 

[Bozza]

Probably be there just after 4 and after the game win lose or draw

I imagine it will be like Dick's, at least initially, and turning up at that sort of time means queuing and a one-in, one-out operation in force.

Although Saturday afternoon looks set to be fine and dry, so maybe the outdoors bit will be in use. I'm interested to see how that works - will the 2,000 outdoors punters be somehow segregated from the foot traffic heading into the stadium?

 

[London Irish]

Probably be rammed and not sure can be arsed to go early enough to stand a chance. Enjoy all whoever makes the Titanic lifeboat, remember women, children and Nobo tops first

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Is it open for the other quarter final?

 

[Is it PotG?]

10.15am to avoid the rush

 

[Insel affe]

Think I will sit this one and the Villa game out and wait for the Palace beam back....

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Having seen the stupidly long queues for the simple coffee shack outside the Amex recently, and the stupidly long queues for Dick's Bar before that, the Terrace queue will be three times longer and three times more worth swerving. Will save meself for the crowd-controlled ticketed Palace beamback thanks for asking. The Amex matchday experience just got better by yet more queueing - said no one ever

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Is it PoTG?

 

[RandyWanger]

Other, I'll go in if its not carnage

 

[Professor Plum]

By the time the ST coach arrives, it’ll be rammed, and won’t have time after.

 

[jordanseagull]

Other, I'll go in if its not carnage

You won't be going then

 

[Hudson Hawk]

If i can get in with my AMEX Centurion card to my exclusive area, then I'll give it a go.

If not I won't slum it downstairs with the scummy mastercarders et al

I would think not, I stand to be corrected but I believe that the whole outer concourse is licensed so that whilst the Terrace will reach it's internal capacity you will be able to go and get a pint and then just mill around outside in the way that you can do now.

Despite possible opening day issues I cannot wait to see it in action on saturday.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Can't find it now, but saw on one of the early timing examples that the Terrace would re-open post-match well in advance of the final whistle. Don't agree with that at all. It appears to reward early leaving

 

[Surrey Phil]

You need to add another option - "I'd like to go, but 1901ers are not allowed"!

 

[schmunk]

I'll try, but am not hopeful to get in...
