The Terrace View - Holte End Upper

What do you all make of this?

Ramsey's bar that we have used for over 25 years will, next season, be a members bar at the cost of £480 per season on top of the increase in season ticket prices.

It claims in the survey that we all requested it. Well we did ask for improved facilities but surely that should have been included in the extra season ticket increases not £480 extra for the privilege.

With that area now out of bounds it will mean the top concourse will be even more rammed than it is now and getting food and drink even worse. Terrible idea.

480 quid to get into a shitty bar in the Holte which will basically doubtless be every bit as shit as the normal, not paid-for catering?

[The Moose]

Yes but you can stay in there for six hours. And you get a lanyard!

[TonyD]

In these times that stinks.

[Meanwood Villa]

The owners certainly seem keen to squeeze every last drop out of us consumers.

I try and spend as little time in the stadium as I can pre match and shit like this endorses that approach.

[Nev]

Shouldn't be on the Holte. Keep that for elsewhere.

[PeterWithe]

In a strange way I quite admire the brass neck of sticking a few B&Q tables outside the Holte, sprinkling it with bullshit and charging £480 to use it.

£480 quid?! so assuming you go to every league game, £25 a match.

[wozwebs]

It's got Purslow all over it hasn't it. Let's hope it has extremely minimal take up.

Yes, from that website:

Packages for The Terrace View will be available to Holte End Upper season ticket holders soon.

Supporters will be able to bolt on access to their season ticket and purchase via our ticketing website, with the ability to spread the cost over an eight-month period alongside your season ticket.

Eligible supporters can bolt on access to their season ticket for £480 (£25 per game).

Fans sat elsewhere in the stadium can register their interest to hear more when places become available, either on a seasonal or match-by-match basis.

That’s an expensive pint!

That’s an expensive pint!

It says you get 2 'free' pints included so I guess that's £11 off the £25 but even so!

[Risso]

"The catering facilities are abysmal, can we please have the ability to buy a pint at half time."

"Yes you can. £500 please!"

[pauliewalnuts]

I'd stay back for a few pints after the match if there was somewhere to do so, pleasantly, ie with somewhere to sit down, and wait for the traffic to die down, but I wouldn't spend 480 quid a season for the privilege to do so.

You also know it'd have that all-pervasive stink of chip fat that the concourse food counters have at Villa Park, it's really not a 480 quid a season kind of location, and no 1995 era graphics 3d walkthrough is going to change my mind on that.

[PeterWithe]

Jeez this is a terrible idea.

I'm sure when I filled in that survey I basically said I wanted to be able to have a piss and get a pint before they turn the lights off  for the night. Not 'please turn the Holte into some sort of theme park for people with more money then sense'

Ill bet it will be full of the kind of people who video absolutely everything.
