Sorry Andy.  I meant to say that they have brought in a premium experience lounge with a name that will resonate with the concrete eyesore obsolete North Stand dwellers that have no leg room but a couple of warm pints and a '2-course' buffet included for £200 quid or so.
Now that I really do agree with, BE.
But I’m sure the people who take it up will be the day trippers who are in no way as discerning as the more mature amongst us.

I was in the North Stand today for a meeting. The amount of work being done is staggering really. Half the holte seats are still not there, theres a lot to be done in just over 4 weeks.

Those North Stand boxes are a real throwback to 80's corporate . Absolute cutting edge at the time . Hats off to anyone still using them to woo customers .

I suppose to American ears, the Star and Lion sounds like an English pub name.

Did someone say they’ve taken the offices out the North Stand? It does look like they’ve reworked the place extensively.

I’m delighted the club are putting in these expensive corporate spaces. They will go to offset season ticket prices and the cost of other products around the ground. The more successful we are on the pitch the easier these will be to sell. Another good campaign and a bit of CL happiness and these lounges will be sold out. We are a long way behind our competitors in this areas. It’s time we found ways to catch up.

The new hospitality names are a bit crap, TBH.

They should name them after infamous times rather than just good ones.

The Hodge Khazi

Errr, that's it.

Should have named it McCormacks, as it's overpriced and shit, and you can't get out once you're inside.

St Andrews already has the patent on that experience

I thought it started years ago with The Doug Ellis Stand. I knew he was ahead of his time.
