Isn't Boddington's a Manc beer? It would be Newcy Broon for the Geordies.
Yep Boddington's is indeed a Manc beer. Technically Newcastle Brown Ale is not a North East beer these days as it is brewed in Holland.

You can drink in the bars on CL nights now.What are the cl rules for selling beer at the ground? Could the bars sell after the game?
Not sure mate, but I think the appeal to stick around for drinks/food after the game would be much stronger on a Saturday afternoon than at 10pm on a weekday night. Especially if that could be combined with some sort of legends Q&A in the South stand or whatever else the club might be planning.What are the cl rules for selling beer at the ground?

Does that mean West Ham away support will be treated to claret and blue lighting, Stone Island pop-up shop and reverse binoculars that make the pitch look as distant as in another postcode?From N17 Bishop on ssc who will be working in stadium
Touch base day really with your.
All I can really say is the testing is all positive so far. 10 days in and little to no faults. 10 more days to go and then if all is as is now, test events will be announced.
Got a look at the northern end too, Home and away. Not sure if it’s been open to visitors yet.
Same standards all the way round.
Slightly diff turnstiles. I’m not going to post pics but the are very similar to airport biometric passport gates. Wether they’ll hold the average rowdy Millwall fan I don’t know.
Saw the HP SERVER room which gave me a twitch being a techy. A nice touch is it’s in complete view of the GA area (like the beaver town equipment) so you can see what’s running the ship.
Some serious money has been spent in there. Again got pics but hesitant to post just yet. Gonna ask permission first.
Away section mood lighting is there so will be customised according to visiting teams colours. A nice touch here is that idea follows through to hospitality.
They will be shipping in drink and food from local area of visiting club to sell to them.
So Newcastle the area will be black and white and the bar will serve boddintons as well as fried mars barsok not fried mars bar but you get the drift.
Those food and drinks prices are locked in. They are obliged to retain 15k for as long as possible to help traffic flow so after game entertainment will be decent.
Expect a lot more activities in concourses after games including legends and mascots meeting and greeting GA guests.
It will basically become one big massive bar after games (I suppose a bit like what box park is for Wembley now).
A fair few new tit bits to add later and shots from inside the bowl since we have been starved recently.
Also included will be pop up caravans, lucky heather, pegs and tea towels so as to make them feel at home.Does that mean West Ham away support will be treated to claret and blue lighting, Stone Island pop-up shop and reverse binoculars that make the pitch look as distant as in another postcode?
So does us getting in this season completely hinge on Millwall beating Brighton then?
A scenario like that being make or break for the club I find highly doubtful in all honesty. I'd be astounded if a game involving two teams in the FA Cup acts as a deal breaker for us to move in.
It might prolong our moving in date based on playing the actual fixture on one day to another but to prevent us from moving in I highly doubt it
So this talk that we need 5 premier games or stay at Wembley is only preferable? Doing my best to make sense of it all! Edit - read back and does say the FA would 'prefer'
it's a nice touch but the cynic in me doesn't want the away fans to feel at home. I don't want to inspire them to sing louder I want them to feel intimidated and scared.
Do what Fiorentina did to us and turn off the lights in the bogs for evening games....If we're set to move in for the Brighton game that can only be good news. Even if they get through in the FA Cup it means the stadium is ready in April. It will mean we still will have Brighton at home after that date so I see no reason why it would prevent us opening. I guess it all comes down to whether we will open at the weekend or midweek. Either way there will still be enough games left to make it worth opening this season.
Not too sure how I feel about the opposing team having such nice hospitality. It certainly shows class from our perspective but maybe too nice on our opponents. I kind of want us to give them a dark corridor with graffiti all over the walls to walk through. The away end toilets should have a hole in the ground to piss in and one of them weird toilet guys hanging around to make them feel awkward. The away dressing room should just be one long wooden bench and a blackboard.
If anything, they'll start supporting us! "What a nice bunch of chaps they are."Don't think that will make them sing louder tbh.
As you say, it's class. And that's what separates us from everyone else! So long as we're not being too accomodating with the opposition teams, then I'm fine with it.If we're set to move in for the Brighton game that can only be good news.
