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.

The Arsenal ST holders I know refer to their ground as Ashburton Grove

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?

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

Grow up, nothing wrong with calling it by it's proper name.

Ironic in a way, I used to work in a building that was demolished to make way for the Emirates, it was right across the road from the corporation tip. Brings a whole new meaning to the expression 'What a load of rubbish'.

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

They're next to the Opal Fruits.

If Amex have put all this money into the club to sponsor Falmer - i'm more than happy to call it the Amex.

 

[severnside gull]

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

When you say the 'City Council' is the largest Employer are you reffering to people on benefits?

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

A rather strong metaphor! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, democracy and all that...

54 posts, you put up 2, a couple posted more than once, so if we say it's a 45 for and one against majority, I think the FOR Amex, slightly outweigh the against?

Are you saying we cannot accept help from anyone, unless they were around during the dark days?

I think the main reason Amex sponsor the stadium is due to the community work the stadium has to offer.
What they do to their cardmembers is no different to what Visa or mastercard do.

Anyway, Amex for me if thats ok

 

[Left Back]

Its the Albion for me ...

Appreciate the sponsorship from Amex, and I'm not gonna call the shirts Brighton and Hove Jobs either.

Fine with me; everyone is entitled to an opinion. Enjoy the stadium!

Judging by the tone of your post, have you considered Pyongyang as your next holiday destination? Think you might enjoy their view on 'democracy'. Anyway, enjoy the stadium! Over and out.

The NHS is fairly big, too.

Amex is the largest private sector employer.

Wouldn't really like to see the NHS or City Council in the business of sponsorship of football stadia.
