If there's a fanzone that charges £6 a pint and that's not to people's liking, they're welcome to show their discontent by not going. It's not going to be compulsory, I never understand people getting annoyed about things like that. Just don't go? Why does it bother you that something just exists? Anyway I'm exiled in Bournemouth, £6/pint sounds fucking wonderful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it's your only option, sure. Like if the match tickets were £100 minimum each, we'd all have a right to be really annoyed. But £6/pint somewhere, I dunno just don't pay it?

Ultimately it depends on what sort of place it turns out to be. If it's something unique and not just another boozer then one would hope - being called a 'fanzone' - it would be accessible to all fans, in every sense; the offering, the environment, the price of things. If it's just a jumble of bars that just happens to be located in the shadow of SJP then yeah, whatever, just go to Rosie's instead I guess... but I object to the moniker in that case. (I can't remember if Rosie's is especially expensive before anyone corrects me ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 It's not. Here man, Yorkie, the NUFC fanzone is only for those that can afford it, right! Just buy the shirt for £80, buy your match ticket for £50 and enjoy yourself watching the traffic, kicking some stones pre-match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a couple of buses (the one I get from Consett and another from Langley Park) that drop off and pick up there on a match day, so that on top of the rest of the crowd makes it pretty busy. I quite like it. They started opening upstairs last season with a big projection screen for any early/late matches. Even take card payment now!

Just Google Mercedes Benz Arena Delta Suite, and click on the images and it gives you all the different images from all the suites in the stadium.

OCK Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I think its an area where spectators that associate themselves with a particular team can congregate outside of their preferred team's home base of operations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best case scenario is moving it up the hill a bit with a world class stadium in Leazes Park and turning SJP into a new city park leading up to the new stadium - hopefully incorporating the history of SJP into it (ie: keeping the pitch where it is or something similar).
