I wasn't sure how they could make the place any bleaker, but fair play to them.

Looks like a Sports Bar on Basildon High Street trying and failing to be upmarket

It looks like an office. The floor and ceiling is horrid.

Does it sell beer; show football and have Orient fans in it? That will do for me.
I drink there 4 hours a month and so long as its clean and tidy I'm happy.

Has the lighting of a black site in Abu Ghraib as well. At least my foot won't get stuck on the carpet if I stand still too long.

f*cking hell. All in an effort for it to be used as a corporate hang out too I’d imagine.
If it’s anything to go by I hope the board aren’t in charge of an new stadium design

Can't be any worse than the bars in the East stand , ( hopefully that's better with the new refurbishment ) .

Dreadful, managed to make it even less appealing than it was.

What in the Subway is that monstrosity?
A shame they didn't auction off the old carpet in 1 metre squares, Devlin has missed a trick there. Although to be fair, it might have just walked off on it's own before they had the chance.

Got to be honest, I'd rather be stood out in the unfinished undercroft in the North than that.
As others have said, it's been done to provide a usable space for other occassions, which is fair enough I guess.

What a bunch of Philistines. Modernist Brutalism at it's finest. I love it!

Brutalist I'd be on board with. An 'ErnO' Goldfinger themed bar would be amazing, all grey with tables shaped like Trellick Tower and concrete bar stools.

OK: modernism and brutalism don’t look like this.

OK, I'll take your word for it as I, admittedly, know nothing about the subject. I won't make the mistake again of trying make a joke about something without having done full research.

The tweet has been deleted. I wonder if the club has requested this bearing in mind the negative reaction.

If so, why did the tweeter comply?
