great stadium but......

[Napper]

20k leaving at same time, of course a few delays, that is normal. If it was shambolic there would be 5 hour delays.

One thing is for sure , your constant moaning about nothing does nothing for the planning app about to go in. Unfortunately your incessant campaign of shite will probably get noticed by the Argus and before we know it their is a bandwagon over nothing.

Pipe down mate.

Are you referring to last night if so 1000's of first timers attended the Amex, what on earth did you expect.

 

[ROSM]

From all the feedback we have had the club sound delighted with the turnover from the catering. Yes there could be improvements, but why the drama ?

I have given up queueing at Withdean at half time before now, in order to get back to my seat for the second half, so I don't even recognise this catering nirvana that you speak of. Maybe the queues were less bad because the chips were frankly piss poor, the coffee was rank and no one was queueing up for beer.

agree entirely. Food wise its getting there. The service queues are better and they seem to be getting the right product as requested. there is still room for improvement and it needs to be reviewed and managed but its not now a shambles.

Transport wise my family only had problems once (the rottingdean bus and strange queuing patterns) but have now switched to race hill park and ride which seems better. I still get home quicker than I did from Withdean.

 

[Captain Sensible]

We know the catering problems could be improved, but apart from Bennetts Field, what exactly was it that made it a shambles for the op?

 

[mlg57]

I've only been to three games at the amex but each one was a delight. All by train from MK, Ok I did stay in Lewes for the midweek one but even so every time we sat in WSU, left after final whistle and got on second train to either Brighton or Lewes. Had refreshment during half time, got back to our seats before kick off and the pies were lush. I don't think you can complain at that.

Every single time Rev's threads are just attention seeking and trying to provoke a reaction. Boringggg

Which is a bit sad for a supposed 70 year old, isn't it?

70? where'd you get that from?

 

[Buzzer]

I do wonder about some of these moaners. There's no doubt Rev was one of the die-hard fans in the wilderness years and before but now we attract a much wider fanbase I suspect this feeling of not being part of a clique of fans in a small club does hurt for some. Let's face it, lower league football seems to attract some right social inadequates who can't function in a normal environment whereas footie instantly gives a common bond and supporting a small crap club can make them feel important.

Along comes Gus, Tony and the Amex and now the ratio of normal people to specials is much higher. All that's left is this impotent whinging and look-at-me-threads with his childish fonts and smilies. It's very sad.

Not a bad point. Certainly having a look around withdean before / during and after the game there was a disproportional number of "specials" . The Amex has certainly seen us tap back in to the normal looking fan at least.

I think some nose's have been put out of joint for sure

 

[Commander]

70? where'd you get that from?

The thread saying it was his 70th birthday. That's why I said 'supposed' because I assumed that was mindless drivel as well.

Think you may have a point there. This harking back to a rose-tinted halcyon time does get very irritating now and I am old enough to hark back to the older days myself. I think the Amex is superb and my personal experience of it has been brilliant. My only quibble being the lack of saturday 3pm kick offs and personal circumstances leading to one or two missed games.

 

[terryberry1]

I vote for moving back to the withdean

This..... I want chips

 

[del strangefish]

gratefull has nothing to do with it , we're talking about customer experience

As a customer I am grateful for the experience. 10/10.

 

[Questions]

I took the opportunity to go into the north stand last night and I really enjoyed it. Seeing all the pictures and writings for the first time. Got a coffee pretty quick as well.
On the other hand my mate decided to try the 1901 meal etc and he thought it was absolute crap.Apart from being totally underwhelmed over the decor etc in the bars, thinking it was very canteenish, his food was cold and his beers were warm. When he complained about the warm bottles of Lager the girl told him that they had run out of cold ones because they hadn`t anticipated serving so many. Bearing in mind he runs a popular bar in Brighton he thought that was amateurish in the least. Now he was looking to get a few 1901 spots as soon as they became available but I think he might be having a re-think now.

 

[terryberry1]

Agree 'it isn't a shambles'.

Disagree 'it's absolutely fine.' - else we wouldn't be having these same threads after every single game. There's always room for improvement, and being complacent about it doesn't help anybody, least of all the club.

This. I love the Amex and will forever be grateful to Tony Bloom but ........ Things are far from absolutely fine

 

[Hillian1]

This about sums up my feelings also.

 

[Commander]

I don't think they are far from absolutely fine at all. It's not perfect, but find me a football ground that is. I'm happy most things, and it seems to be improving every game. Cant really ask for much more than that.

 

[papajaff]

The match day organization is a blooming shambles no other way to put really,can't still be teething problems And yes I know my willy is only small

Ah bless, are people not paying you enough attention?
