How does H Town work as a concourse for the lower tier in that side? I think if there was a way to get rid of those seats and create safe standing with a roof over the top (like the old Cowshed) that it could work really well and be a little cauldron of noise for us. No idea if there are plans for this but think it could work really well. There's already a roof and safe standing! I stood on the back row through every game for about 3 seasons prior to the South Stand opening up to home fans, and didn't get rained on or asked to sit a single time. I think only front 3-5 rows or so typically got exposed when it was really windy with the rain. Its probably actually the best stand to watch the game from if you like being close to the action, its the closest stand to a goal.  I sat on row f for 5 seasons, only ever got 2 soakings, the rain tends to hit the back of the stand during the winter months. |

Is there any reason why tomorrow’s game can’t be shown on the tvs? It’s not 3pm Saturday. Pubs can show it because it's on Sky Sports plus.. is it not on at H Town? I was thinking of going down to watch it. |

I was thinking of going down to watch it. Is H Town even open midweek or only if its booked for an event? The info seems a bit missing in terms of opening hours etc...I've seen something somewhere for match day (only) opening hours ahead of the Charlton game, but I'd have no idea where to find it again. Also - when I look at this, whose idea was it to put dark text on a dark background in the events bit?! www.htafc.com/supporters/h-town |

No signage anywhere either and probably a bit bare inside. Hopefully they've plans to open it up for other occasions, be daft not to. Probably a bit too far for me to travel but will be a great venue to watch away games. Might even have real glasses soon. |

Not really understanding the comments re no toilets.
I visited them on Saturday.
Turn left after you come through the entrance doors.
Re the place not been open tonight.
I’d imagine that they need to be sure it will be worth opening from a profitability point of view.
Orient away maybe not the time to do it.
But if we had a vitally important away game, like a play off game for example, I’m sure they would feel it worthwhile opening.
Just my opinion.

That rules me out then You can use the old gym toilets in the foyer or there are portaloos at the end of the building outside with no signage telling anyone! Also, as far as I could gather there was no way to wash your hands afterwards! Other than walk all the way to the toilets in the foyer and wash them there! Bit of a hygiene issue! If you stay near the middle the proper toilets aren't that far away though. |

Pony Green & Cream? Yeah it looked nice apart from the 70s style 10foot wide collar 😂 Edit: realise that looks like I’m taking the piss but I really did like it The colours were ecru and jade if i remember correctly?! Yep, but to us un-posh northerners it was cream and green I tell thee  |

Someone did ask about them showing the away Town matches in there, but they couldn't say either way. I think long term they are hoping to but seeing as it wasn't open last night I'm guessing its not possible at the moment. Hopefully they will get this sorted as I would travel over to watch rather than at home as it would be a better atmosphere. |

Pubs are "ok" to watch a Town match in, but not everyone is there to do that...this would be very different. Just a shame the ground isn't in the town centre! Lets imagine a future when we're in the Premier League top 10 every year, and "H-Town 2" opens in the old Casino Red / VideoTech building - 7 days a week 👌 - and they're both rammed...and video link between the two for sing-offs on the European nights! Oh yes. |

I'm sure this has been covered - is the bar (only) available at half time if you sit in the North Stand upper tier - and is it better than drinking in the bar outside the White Rose Club (subjective I know)?

When I imagine it, I don't expect they'd bring that many to a pre-season friendly 🤷♂️ |
