Yes it seems quite positive, The band playing quite a few people Enjoying themselves and spending a few extra quid before the match. There was a huge queue at the club shop so I went to see what the fan zone was like . I can see it has limitations if the weather is bad though.

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Lasses were having fun with the beer dispensers on the Kop. I thought one was going to quit before I got served. I just asked for a pint of whatever worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M42Owl Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 The queue for the beer at the fan zone was too long (about 1:45) so I didn’t bother. The “band” whilst enthusiastic weren’t much better than karaoke. Although they did select a few tunes to try to liven things up a bit. No food on, even though there’s a hot dog stall in the car park. But it all seemed very popular. Need to add something for the kids I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a huge thing but the sight of Ozzie owl into the fanzone about 2.15 certainly interested quite a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had moaning buggers behind me when queuing upstairs in the North. I felt like saying something, as the club had actually asked for patience & early arrival as it was first day at work for many new servers, but managed to not do.

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Some people just want to whine and whinge. I got a pint inside the North on the top concourse in the middle (near gangway S) at about 2.20ish (I think) and it cant have been more than a 10minute wait. After that I had a look at the Fanzone but thought it looked busy and carried on into the North. Anyway, when I'd got my pint and looked down on to the fanzone there was hardly a queue at the Fanzone bar, which was something we laughed at because we'd all thought the long queue was for the bar and it was actually for the portaloo. Having said that, the queue for kiosk at the top of the ramp up to the North concourse (KOP end) was blocked at the top of the ramp and there were no stewards to be seen, didn't seem like a good idea.

KrolMong Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I was back for the Barnsley game and in my normal seat on the grandstand and it was a lot quicker to get served than in previous seasons, i probably waited no more than 5 mins before the game and at half time, whereas in previous years I’ve gone down in 35 mins to ensure I get a pint before 3.50.
