Serious question - did we need to build the Falmer Stadium?

[madbutcher]

think you must have missed taking your medication.

 

[ees complicated no?]

The stadium looks shit also TBH & whats with the seats?

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Yep - fed up about the whole thing, what a rip off. Was much happier slumming it at Withers in Lge 2.

The only thing that could be worse is being a Palace fan.

 

[Randsta]

When you have to put "this is a serious question" it's NOT likely to be a serious question, much like when people say I don't mean to be funny ..... like I'm saying "I dont mean to be funny, but seriously WTF!"

 

[Nathan]

Is there a poll to follow...?

 

[Hillian1]

You're going on Saturday? I thought everyone was joining the boycott of Falmer, you need to keep up.

OK, sorry.

I will stand on the station BOOING trains instead.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Furious mate. I could park at Withers, and I miss my local away games; Yeovil, Exeter,Plymouth,Cheltenham, Bournemouth. Now its all poncy london and midlands teams, we're on the telly far more often than is good for us, people are calling our ground the Amex Arena and we've exhausted the Alive and Kicking Fund on overpriced strikers.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Right well the conclusive argument is

Withdean = CHIPS

Amex = NO CHIPS

Therefore Withdean WINS hands down.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Michael Owen would have signed if we had stayed at Withdean. Fact!

 

[Acker79]

I never ate there, did withdean have sporks?

 

[Hillian1]

Right well the conclusive argument is

Withdean = CHIPS

Amex = NO CHIPS

Therefore Withdean WINS hands down.

BOO.

Amex = Forks

Withdean = No Forks.

I don't like forks so Booity Boo to The Amex.

Boo. etc etc.

 

[Life After Bobby]

It's ridiculous isn't it? I mean averaging 19k?! Pathetic.

Actually, if you compare that to other teams it is rather rubbish. I mean, since Arsenal moved into their new stadium they've been averaging about 60,000 - over three times what we can muster

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

hook,line,sinker and copy of Angling Times

 

[saslowi]

And the seating at Withdean, so much better.

 

[Albumen]

1901?? I preferred the 20 to 8 club. Clubs gone backwards.

 

[Seagull Steve]

I'm gutted mate, Withdean is where it's at. The Amex may have cost £90 million, but will it ever have an atmosphere as good as those downright cool Palace ultras? of course it won't. But come rain or shine Withdean was amazing.

 

[Danny-Boy]

Totally and utterly hatstand, mate. You?

So next should be a thread "When we move back to Withdean"?

 

[Return of the Rev]

I mean, it took 14 years, no-one else in Sussex wanted it, and after a while our campaign got so embarrassing. Sending flowers to that fat two Jags bloke, and marching on the Labour conference as if that would achieve anything and I'm not alone in this.

We got four promotions at Withdean, including three championships, and people say we wanted a new ground just so as they didn't get their hair wet. Bollocks.

We have achieved NOTHING since we got to the Amex, and we're now 11th (from being top last year ). It's not as though we can ever fill the Amex completely anyway - it's so embarrassing. Aren't you annoyed?





etc.

Grow up Alan!

 

[pipkin112]

Having gone to Palace last night, i realise how much i like the old stadiums, i can't wait until the Amex looks as delapidated as Selhurst Park

 

[Danny-Boy]

Yep - fed up about the whole thing, what a rip off. Was much happier slumming it at Withers in Lge 2.

The only thing that could be worse is being a Palace fan.

True I guess you had a much better record at home to Palace at Witdean...err...
