There were a few issues yesterday, but I put them down almost entirely to bad luck, and supporters not being settled/know where to go.
At the south stand upper waterfront bar in front of block 208, both the ale machines stopped working and went...
There was Guinness on the self pour machines as I came in from Turnstile 14. I'm in upper East (216) but pretty much right on the corner of the south. Just around the bend a bit from the FlightBirds
Me, @MickA and a few other mates went up to it as part of a trip to a red mate who was at uni there, absolutely mess of a weekend that was in the best way possible, doing Cossack dances at 6pm in the middle of Sheffield, trying to climb...
The problem with that gate was loads of people were in the queue for gate one on the left so in the wrong place, then there was a queue to the right same turnstile.
Which was mad.
We got there about 2 pm and the steward said stand in...
I'm sorry I just cannot believe a stadium built in 2025 doesn't have escalators. You cannot claim it to be the best stadium in the league when it's lacking basics like that
That will likely fluctuate. I guarantee there are people who will have went down to the concourse today who will not normally do so.
The queues and confusion are not ideal, far from it, but it will improve significantly over the next couple of...
Went to the Windy after the blue mile beforehand and it was sound, not too busy. Queue for turnstile 8 was horrific, after asking a steward he said weirdly the queue was for both 8 and 9 although 9 had no queue. I chanced it and got in.

Just note that it was absolutely chocka at the second test event. Unless you're desperate to go there you'll be walking past The Invisible Wind Factory, Ten Streets Social and Murphy's Distillery all on the same row if you want easier...
Heading over with my four year old daughter this morning and a few others from Dublin, take in some sights and head down to the ground. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.
Might even try the Bramley Moore for a pint if the little one will...
There is/was a gaff called 'Yardbird' that did some belter fried chicken-based dishes. If its anything like that was then I can see it being really popular ha.
Selection is diabolical.
Should have a:
Lager/pilsner
Pale ale/iPa
Stout/mild
Bitter/ale
Locally sourced as possible.
Plus fizzy and box ciders.
Looking at that I'd drink somewhere else prior, maybe a quick pint at half time if I'm desperate...
The point isn't specifically beer is too expensive (which it is) mate. Its that they are needlessly ripping the fans off to look commercially savvy when they're actually likely to shoot themselves in the foot.
There's no reason other than greed...
