Since their go to 'Best Stadium in the Championship' bantz is fast fading - they are scrambling to inject other negative spin on the fantastic undertaking Bramley Moore is.
Pathetic, but totally expected from that classless bunch of whoppers.

You could maybe temporarily change your username to barneygrumble during this period of test events?
The way I'm harping on, you'd think I've been forced to going!

Great reading the reports on here, and seeing the photos and videos. The pace looks incredible. Even better, in a way, is seeing rave reviews in the national papers - Times, Guardian, Telegraph, all blown away by it.
I'm yet to pick my seat, and there probably won't be a huge amount of choice, but I'm still a bit concerned about sitting up in the gods. Not the view, I reckon it will be spectacular, but the climb up there. I thought my hillwalking days were behind me.

Yeah, the stadium is unbelievable, will be even better when full.

Looking forward to any future events when they open up the Village Street area.
I get your point, and I am sure the club will carefully consider pricing based on feedback from test games, and in the simplest sense compare vs. Goodison.
However, we need to be careful not to make too simplistic comparisons between the two, and from that generalisations. I spoke to a friend about it this morning.
I asked him did he have a drink when he goes to London? Did he drink when we were in Norway et al? Of course he said, to which I raised the question of price.
Both are more expensive than Liverpool, the latter far more so, but if people want a drink they'll factor that in: people will either pay it, drink less or not drink.
That's not me promoting free-market capitalism, nor is it saying the club should price what they want (it needs to be sensible). Instead, it's all about compromise.
We usually have a pint at half-time, and I suspect that'll continue even with it costing more. Others may look at the price and say no, which is their prerogative.
If the club price it correctly, like you say, they may get more people in and after the game, which I hope they do. If they don't, it leaves people with a choice.
I know already that I am going to probably spend more in BMD than at Goodison in terms of food, because the selection and quality is far superior!

Mate there’s not a bad view in the place, I know it’s been said already on here but all the pics and videos do not do it justice.
You can’t get a sense of scale for the place. What I love the most is the way they have blended the history of the site with the new.
It's steep and you feel it in your thighs, but in reality it isn't terrible. If you've sat in the Top Balcony or City away, it's easier than both of those.
I was towards the back last night, and the view was spectacular.
Really don’t get the moaning about the prices of the food from last night. All seemed to fall fairly within the going rate for food at entertainment venues nowadays. Cheaper than many stadiums I’ve been to recently also.
Some items seemed better value for others. I see some people moaning about “£6.60 for a sausage roll!”. Did you see them? They were absolutely massive and triple loaded, and at almost 1400 calories, that’s literally the equivalent to a decent sized full meal, for less than £7

Some people where saying you paid first before getting your food same as Goodison, which makes it even sader on the divy filming that pretending to rob the food.
If he did actually rob it, it's a learning curve for the club to teach ser ers not to pass any food before payment.
(Hopefully write those 3 chicken tenders off to reduce PSR aswell...

I sat in the Top Balcony for the first time for the Peterborough game (normally Upper Bullens when I get a chance to visit) and if it's less steep than that I don't see it being a massive problem.
I wonder if they are going to work the food and drink with the German-style prepaid loadable cards at some point in the future.

Classic "tell me you go to Pound Bakery usually without telling me" behaviour
Slightly tempted to head for the lower south now, just waiting for my cousin's tenure to come up (5th March). For those more informed than me, what do we think the chance is of getting a pair together by then? Appreciate it's a lot of guesswork and probability like
