ac stadium for me!

Don't forget that American Express is the largest employer in Brighton. If there was no Amex, a few thousand people would be out of a job.

Sorry to be a pedant but the city council is the largest employer in Brighton.

which, lest us forget, makes much of its profit from interest charges incurred by ordinary hardworking folk

I'd imagine it makes most of its money from businesses.

'The Amex' for me, but really what difference does it make what people call it?

It's home.

 

[Return of the Rev]

Having been shafted by amex along with several hundred others its the ac for me!

 

[Dirty Dave]

The thing is, it was known as Falmer for many, many years as this is area name where we were all campaigning for our new stadium to be and it couldn't really be reffered to as anything else.

However, it should be branded The Amex now as this is based on the naming of the ground, sponsorship etc. And now when the word Falmer is mentioned, it reminds me of the long, hard fight we had to get where we are now, and I think 'Falmer' should be recognised for this

Why AC? What does that stand for?

I realise that this thread has been posted before but, seeing as this is the day, I thought it apt to raise the issue again.

Having been in the audience of Thursday evening's hugely enjoyable 'Brighton til I Die' at the Theatre Royal, the significance of the actual word 'Falmer' came through clearer than ever.

I really hope that we as fans refer to our maginificent new stadium as 'Falmer' and not the 'Amex'. As has been posted before, where was this credit card giant when we were in our darkest hours?

Please let's avoid avoid the trap Arsenal fans have fallen into and not give a multi-national company (which, lest us forget, makes much of its profit from interest charges incurred by ordinary hardworking folk) additional advertising by word of mouth.

Can't wait to visit FALMER at 3pm today! FALMER forever!

As a former member of Varndean VI Form College myself, I would say that if the Club want it to be called the Amex, then the Amex it is.

 

[dingodan]

Falmex

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Amex. As has been posted many times - Falmer is a reminder of the inquiries nad all that. Amex is our golden future.

 

[Return of the Rev]

won't always be the amex but will always be falmer!

Sorry to be a pedant but the city council is the largest employer in Brighton.

The NHS is fairly big, too.

 

[Woodchip]

C'mon people can we stop this STUPID infatuation of referring to ourselves as the Seagulls. We are the Dolphins in my eyes. Damn all you crazy modernists!

 

[KJP]

I hope they sell marathon bars in the concourse and not snickers

'Falmer' reminds me of the long struggle. The marches, the not-in-my-back-yard types, the postcards, the years at Withdean.

I'm happy to call our new home the Amex.

Well you got shot down in flames didn't you! Amex it is!

 

[GOM]

Falmer is where we wanted it to be.......and it is.

The Amex is what the stadium is called

 

[Seagull Steve]

Amex for me too. Everyone is calling it that, from TV presenters to the clubs hierarchy. Their sponsorship has helped and should be duly recognised.
