The Terrace View - Holte End Upper

[London Villan]

The queues were the next challenge - no-way would I have waited more than a couple of minutes.

The chips after the match we great though!

[VillaTim]

Due to various things I had to grab something to eat at the ground last night. The hotdog I had outside was fine, but I fancied some chips in the ground.
£4.50 for a small tray
£5.50 with curry sauce

Is it me or is that excessive? I stayed hungry and bought some for a couple of quid after the match.

You have to factor in the quality service and ambience of the surroundings. they should really be adding 12.5% service charge on all of the above

Because of the disorganisation and excessive ques to get into the ground, me and the kids got in just after k/o. I quickly pre ordered a pint of shit lager and some soft drinks for them for half time from lower holte. Went down on about 39 to que for pre ordered drinks, to be told, no lager only strongbow, no explanation, no offer for money back if I didn’t want bloody strongbow, nothing. I couldn’t give a shit about one pint in the grand scale of things, but selling items that aren’t then available is just completely indicative of the complete and utter off the field shit show going on.
There has to be some accountability down the line, as prices are going up whilst we are being treated with further contempt.

They don't care about the average joe. They want corporate Bob paying £500 a head for padded seats and mediocre food

I reckon for things like Terrace View to succeed we will have to keep progressing on the pitch. People will pay for it if there's champions league football involved. Should we fall back there will be panic among the corporate suits. Not that that is going to happen of course.

Is there still that daft law in place in the UK that says you are not allowed to see the pitch during the match while having an alcoholic beverage? If so, this Terrace View thing makes even less sense.

The 'Terrace' is the external terrace by the Holte steps.

The seats you can see are the premium accessible seating, I'm not sure there's a view onto the pitch for the every day punters in the bar.  But in my mind it's clearly been designed to allow that in the future.

My experience is it's severely reduced the facilities for everyone else in the upper Holte.

But tbf it does look like a decent space if that's your sort of thing.  Don't expect premium seats for the game though, all the best seats in the Holte are already taken by ST holders, so people paying their £1,560 can be shoved anywhere - likely the back and wings.

Yeah man, but surely you can see it better than most from there.

It seems I'm paying the price for not heeding the warnings of excessive onanism, so I'm afraid not.
