The Amex conferencing & events money must be rolling in already

[Lady Whistledown]

Amazing how much difference the new gaff is going to make to the club commercially, I know there has been mention of a large wedding fair booked later in the year, and just noticed this too, amongst other events. This is what we've been missing out on for all these years (I'm talking about revenue, not Michael Portillo....). The income stream from this kind of thing alone is going to be substantial, surely, never mind all of us lot coughing up for season tickets and pies.

[The Large One]

The first event at the new ground, according to their claim, is the Brighton & Hove St George's Day Charity Summer Luncheon on Friday 8th July.

They normally have their bash on the Friday closest to April 23rd at the Metropole. This year, they've decided to wait and bagsy first go in the new stadium.

I don't know, I've heard that Portillo bloke can be quite the party animal

Anyway, it appears as though you'll be falling over suit wearing types if you turn up at the stadium on a non-match day. Starting surprisingly soon too, no wonder they're stocking up those bars.

My company has signed up for the Christmas parties being held at the ground, can't wait. I have images of us trying to break on to the pitch for a kick around. I can post the flyer later if anyone interested.

Only if he's out and about with Di, or some other bloke from his old school.

Just brilliant. Well done Albion

I wouldn't mind betting that in a few years time the club will make more money from these sort of events than from football itself.

The Sussex Food and Drinks Awards has chosen the new American Express (AMEX) Community Stadium to host its 2011/12 event on 26 January 2012.

It is the first awards event booked at the Brighton-based venue and will feature a champagne and ale reception, and seven-course banquet produced by the venue’s head chef Fred Tobin, made from local produce.

The Sussex Food and Drink Awards is in its sixth year and will be hosted by BBC Sussex’s Danny Pike.

The AMEX Community Stadium is due to open in July.

I did exactly that about 10ish years ago at Chelsea. We went to a corporate do which was hosted in what was the shed at Stamford Bridge. After plenty of free booze was consumed we decided that simply looking out over the pitch wasn't enough so we set about wandering through various doors to see where we would end up. Eventually after walking down loads of corridors and past tractors and lawn mowers and various other shit you'd expect to find behind the scenes we ended up in the concourse of the stand. Brilliant we thought as we wondered out into the stand and just a short jaunt down to the pitch until we realised we'd ended up in the top tier.

Obviously our poking about had been picked up on CCTV and sure enough a security guard appeared. Cue a scene from a scooby doo cartoon where we were running in and out of blocks being chased by said security guard. Needless to say when we were eventually caught we were slung out of the ground and the corporate do. Didn't go too well the following day at work but it did get a mention at the end of year awards at our Christmas party.

Ahhhhhhh the dot com boom......happier times!

My God. I just clicked on that link. If only other teams knew the Albion were hosting events with names like "The Chocolate Factory"

Selling babies is bang out of order, in my opinion. The club should at least consider the ethics of the events they hire out the place to.

My company has signed up for the Christmas parties being held at the ground, can't wait. I have images of us trying to break on to the pitch for a kick around. I can post the flyer later if anyone interested.

I was once at an event at Portman road in the conference suite which overlooks the pitch. We were told in no uncertain terms, do not go on the pitch.

3 hours and many drinks laters, suit jackets were laid down for goal posts (ipswich had played the last home game of the season the sat before so no goals) a ball was found and a small game started. One guy even stripped down to the waist and somersaulted in front of an imaginary bunch of fans when he scored.

This lasted all of 5 minutes before stadium staff went absolutely mental and kicked us off and nearly out of the stadium altogether - trust me, when you see a pitch that nice after a few beers in a stadium like that (or even better the Amex) its tough to stay off the grass
