Fact sheet

Field notes from editorial walk-throughs. Infrastructure and pricing bands are rechecked every quarter; last full pass: March 2026.

Screens & sightlines	Primary LED stack (~18 m combined width) plus auxiliary columns on the side walls. Upper tier has unobstructed rake; rear bar zone can lose corners on wide pitches—arrive early for EL knockouts.
Audio	Directed PA with speech-focused EQ on Channel A; crowd mics blended low so commentary stays legible at 95+ dB peaks.
Wi-Fi	Guest SSID with captive portal; measured 35–85 Mbps down on busy nights depending on stand density. Staff will reboot APs if the lounge VLAN saturates.
Power outlets	USB-A/C rails along banquettes; limited floor towers—expect sharing during six-nation weekends.
Price band	Draft pints £7.20–£8.80; soft drinks £4–£5; sharing plates £14–£28 (indicative, incl. service on busy cards).
Booking policy	Peak booths require £20/hold per seat released against tab. Walk-ins allowed on mezzanine after 21:00 on weeknights subject to capacity.
Betting context	Partner-branded counter prints slips; on-site staff explain age checks. Mobile companion apps allowed where UKGC rules permit—staff cannot open accounts for you.

Balanced take

Strengths

Screen real estate genuinely matches “premium lounge” positioning.
Betting desk placement keeps groups from splitting across floors.
Staff rehearsed on queue splitting when terminals spike at halftime.

Trade-offs

Prime tier fills 60+ minutes before major finals—book or risk standing rail.
Service rounds slow when both screens run simultaneous OT periods.
Street-level ingress queues after theatre crowds spill out—plan buffer time.
