Cracking video this, great footage of the concourses and dressing rooms, press rooms etc. It’s all changed so much, last time I did the tour it was all grey and dull, it’s so colourful now and looks good. He also says we have one of the more affordable club shops

Still looks a bit dated in places but that's because we have been spoilt by doing Man City and Spurs tours, especially the spurs one. We did anfield and old Trafford and they were unbelievable as well, just the scale of the places. Obviously the away ends in both are absolutely shite

Seen lots on online posts where away fans have talked about how good a time they've had in the stadium, and the city pre and post match. Majority of any negative remarks come from mags who can't seem to bear the fact the conversation isn't revolving around them.

Not being bias like but an away at the sol is way better than the majority of the others. Just think you can get right next to the stadium if you want or the city centre and are welcome in all the pubs along the way. It's a trek up in the gods but like Newcastle it's actually a good away concourse. For the others I've been to it's a nightmare, either have to walk miles or you can't get in certain pubs. Everton was class like

I think the mixing in pubs makes a huge difference. You’re more likely to actually engage with the host city, rather than shuttle in to an approved pub and shuttle out again

Yeah lots of people saying they had a great time in the pubs and bars before and after the game. I'm not usually out after the match but it's good to see people coming into the city centre and enjoying themselves pre match.

I remember sheff utd on a Friday night, the pub next to where we got dropped off near the away end was home fans only 🤣 what was the point. It was either risk walking into town or get a pint inside

I've enjoyed the videos so much I've pondered coming up for it next season even without a ticket. Watching it with Millwall fans cheering on the Palestinian genocide just isn't the same

The club shop is properly good these days. Nearly everything is decent quality, and always loads of staff at the tills / restocking rails.

Yet another thing those in charge have worked wonders on.

In the NUFC shop for £20 he could get a water bottle.
 
Same lad has done the City Ground now.

Club need to do some sort of museum to include in tours in any new south stand
