Beamback

[SB_90]

question as i was interested after today beamback mainly for season ticket holders if they had the same problem as me. because ticket office cocked it right up today. because i went to purchase beamback tickets on tuesday but instead of giving me paper tickets, because im sat in family stand the women in the ticket office updated my cards which i didnt think anything of because that happened v Northampton & thought theyve got seating plan.

but problem as i arrived realised my season ticket seats that ticket office allocated me, were in a part of stand that was shut. stewards i asked were great explained everything that i was basically with 9yr old niece & seatless. they just said find a seat & if some comes then just moved to the side. so i sat 3 rows from back thinking no one likes stairs & luckily no one came.

I have season tickets in the family stand toward the kop hakf and i got paper tickets today. Thought the beamback was okay and would go again

We went (the JBs and myself). Strange situation, people clapping and cheering but players can't hear.

We went today (me and the Mrs), been before, it's not a bad thing.

My first time for a beamback, I was expecting a bigger screen (or multiple screens) to be honest, bit underwhelmed when I first saw it. Better than radio though. Wasn't too impressed by commentary either.
Seemed like a good turnout and I would go again depending on situation.

It was three screens last time, depends on the size of the crowd

Could have sworn there was a commentary at the Northampton one?

Yeah it's always a Radio Sheffield broadcast.

shouldve done what i did took a personal fm radio & listened to radio Sheffield commentary, it was luckily synced together

the way i see it is. its like watching utd at cinema & its much better to be able to see action as well as hear it. i remember 1 of the 1st beambacks. as it was 05 derby at hillsborough. & being a derby people got right in, i thought it was humerous as people forgot kept shouting abuse at the referee despite it being on tv

1st beamback I recall was Blackburn away in the quater final of the fa cup. When we beat them in the replay.

Terrible quality. But that was 24 yrs ago

 

[Davalon]

Think your right

It was Radio Hallam I believe

We drew 0 - 0 replay was nine too shabby

How many turned up at the Lane, in the hundreds rather than thousands? If so would they be better putting it on in the Platinum suite, International Bar, other JSS suites, Annies Bar, even concourse levels of some stands?

2000 attended and the commentary was from ifollow, oh and the guy who was sat behind me. Real expert on absolutely nothing.

 

[diplomat]

If they could stream ifollow in to the bar that over looks the pitch every away game, that would be good

I thought the beamback was good and will go again if unable to get a ticket. Glad I booked early and got a good seat infront of the screen. Once you treat it as more like watching it at home and not bean at the game, I think it makes it easier to enjoy. Still frustrating to see all the empty seats. Are forest that rich that they can turn down another 2k of tickets?, say 10 times a season, or is it the extra police costs to baby sit our idiots, that stop us getting more tickets?

Wonder if they used a VPN for the stream?

Decided to go to the beamback at the last minute. Thought it was excellent, good quality screen and ok commentary. Not the same as actually been at the game obviously but at £8 was good value for money (wife went to the cinema for the afternoon which cost more). Well done United for putting it on, probably not made any money out of it but trying to look after the fans again.

Not really football related as such, but a big praise and Thankyou to the stewards / Security for the beamback. From them in orange to the International bar Saff.
I had seats on row AA around 30 seats in. the staff saw my predcament because
Having been put in a pot on my right leg and having to use crutches they realised it would have be quite funny asking all the row to stand as i hopped to my seat,
no put me out of arms or legs way to watch the match in comfort.

Don't really get the credit they deserve do a thankless job, were fantastic yesterday.

Also big thanks to the Blades near me that avoided my leg near me, when going for pints, pies, chips, mars Bars or a piss. you know who you are. All blades. Thanks.
