I think we should knock all this moaning on the head just in case they do listen and we end up lumbered with Coors, Bud and Miller.

you say that like it’s a bad thing

It would be horrendous.

Forest could well learn from American-style customer service at sporting stadia in the US, though. The catering outlets at Ford Field, for example, were brilliant; there were concession stands all over the place, serving (typically unhealthy) American standards and weak Beer, and it wasn‘t cheap, but it filled you up and that I guess is the most important thing.

Goff > Garappolo

1000% true, you won’t ever see me defend him.

Goff essentially is just a healthier Jimmy G

TBF I’m less worried about the choice of ale, I’d just love to be able to buy some at half time without having to miss 10 minutes of the second half.

I went to an ice hockey match in New York in 2019, and my mate paid $15 for a can of Budweiser.

It's probably $20 there now. Worst crime I've ever witnessed.

I do find it odd that 90% of the issues could be solved for less than the weekly wage of just one of our new players.

It's like clubs paying their non-playing staff peanuts; to offer a living wage would be absolute drop in the ocean for any Premiere League club.

Exactly the point ive been making.

 

[Redemption]

So you remember when that famous player refused a move because he felt the fans at the buying club could be treated better?

No, me neither.

 

[Robert Learnshaw]

Don't think it's been mentioned already but how did people find it generally on Sunday? I thought it was incredible, feels like we're being spoiled almost every game these days, with the autos chase, playoffs and Sunday, every game has felt like a cup final for a while,

I'm not sure my heart can take that 18 more times at the WFCG

I been going to the CG for well over 60-years, and I don't recall the overall matchday atmosphere ever quite being as it has been over recent times.

Looked deafening beforehand and noisy throughout most of the match, although a bit quiet about 70 mins in.

Eh?

Ohh I can.

 

[Redemption]

I think one of the differences with current full houses is there are lot of punters like me who ordinarily went into A Block or UB Corner that are now in BC making noise.

Just how it is for getting tickets, but those 'returners' are nicely dotted around the stadium, and they returned for good times but like the old girl to rock.

 

[JohhnyM]

I remember some great times in the old Trent End, but I can’t ever remember all four sides of the ground rocking like they were on Sunday.

 

[Hungry Horace]

Have been in the Yankees Stadium in the Bronx watching NY Yankees v Boston Red Sox….75,000 crowd….food outlets and drink outlets everywhere,fill your boots and take your purchases to your seat and party!……all around were people stuffing their faces with pizzas,giant hot dogs,massive burgers,buckets of popcorn and other culinary delights and at the same time drinking copious amounts of Bud,Coors and Millers…..on rare occasions only showing an interest in what they were actually there for,a baseball match between two iconic teams….crazy!

Surely you don’t want football fans with food and drink in the stand during the game? Like cricket, you can snack though the game as there’s no big moments really to get you on your feet at a second’s notice.

Having a Bier in your seat is perfectly fine at German stadia though.

That Forest are magic thing is a pretty shite chant but when it gets going around all 4 sides of the ground it really is something else.

Feels like the new "Come on You Reds" when the team are in need of a lift.

Went to see Inter v Atalanta at the San Siri, and not only could you drink beer in your seats, they sent blokes round with carry packs selling pints. A couple of tips in and there was a whole posse of them virtually camped out in our section. It was a Sunday afternoon and the locals had a great time getting smashed having fun with the "crazy Eeenglish". Inter won 7-1 and it was quite an afternoon.

 

[redodare]

Is it true they have TV screens now in the main stand?

Sent from my SM-A217F using Tapatalk

There are TV screens hanging from the back of the Main Stand roof so the (expanded) Press Box can see the Sky Sports feed. These are visble to the new back (R and Q) rows, in C block.

In other, Peter Taylor stand news - at the West Ham game . one of the beer pumps on the concourse bar came loose on it's moorings , beer srayed everywhere but into the plastic cup. Service was only restored when punters volunteered to steady the pour for the seemingly untrained bar staff. Think the four staff managed to serve eight customers during the half time interval. Complete shambles.

These fellows wander round the Mercedes-Benz Arena with the tanks of Bier, you just wave one over and get a fill-up.
