Just grabbed this off Facebook

The American Express Community Stadium has been shortlisted for the Venue of the Year, New Venue, Customer Experience and Sponsorship, Marketing & Sales awards at the prestigious Stadium Business Awards, to be held in Italy next month.

Albion director Martin Perry is also in contention for the Executive of the Year Award.

Martin definitely deserves recognition! Be great for the stadium and supporters and overall experience to be recognised.

All stuff to be very proud of.

I still get goosebumps when on the park and ride bus from the Racecourse coming over the hill. There are always gasps when away fans see the ground rise up out of the countryside. An engineering and design masterpiece!!

Don't forget the supporters play a huge part in the Amex experience, so everyone that goes should be rightly proud of themselves. [MENTION=21141]Wickerman[/MENTION], they gasp on the train too... great experience to see the away supporters looking at the ground as we draw up to the station.
