Watching the Albion away next year will cost you an extra £200 in petrol minmum

I have no idea if anybody else feels the same, but personally I felt totally subdued and, at times, bored at almost all away matches last season for one reason: THE AMEX.

Suddenly, home matches became so good and all I looked forward to was getting to our stadium at any opportunity. Going to pretty much every other ground just seemed a bit tedious in comparison.

Personally think it was more to do with lethargic performances on the road but the wow factor for the Amex was there for every game for me as a totally new experience from Withdean

Good. I hate southern away games when you get Albion morons going for the 'day out' rather than because they have an interest in the football.

This, this and this. In fact I heartily agree with all of your posts in this thread. The short distance goons ruin so many of the local away games.

The away performances that I went to were sadly awe inspiring, so I think that definitely contributed to the poorer atmosphere.

Still this season we have a few more Northern cities to explore and I like the North so looking forward to it.

Certainly some long old pokes next season:

ah yes, the great away fans, 1000 or so of footballs finest and most decent loyal and well behaved fans, meanwhile the other 19,000 of us are saving up our giro's to ensure enough Lambrini to get us to Crystal Palace railway station (can you walk it from there by the way?, i've only ever been to Orient and Southend, oh and Spurs of course)

without doing the maths I think I am fractionally better off than last season
This is, however, more than offset by the £1000+ "additional" cost having signed up for a home season ticket

True, but i love watching us play away with a massive following.
Not as much fun going up to places like Doncaster with less than 1,000 fans and making no atmosphere.

Some away northern games i went to had a good atmosphere - Ipswich was alright up until they went 2-1 up, Barnsley was decent - cant speak for the others though. Thought Birmingham was probably the dullest of the season though - and we had 2,000 go to that one !!!! Not all about the numbers there.

On the plus side, maybe there will be less of a binfest for tickets.

Except for Palace, any PL teams in the Cups and maybe Millwall and Charlton (London clubs).

Thought we were unusually quiet at Leeds this season

Forgot that, it was bloody brilliant up there - think we took about 1,500. It was bouncing in our end - literally !!! Their end - not so much

millwall's never come close to selling out for some reason.

That's because half of our crowd were arguing with the steward rather than singing :-/

Although Peterbrough last season was even better.

Didn't get to go last season, but the season before that was brilliant

Will the terrace still be there next season?

 

[cyrilthesinik]

Bolton is my number 1 next season mainly because it will be ground number 117 in which I have watched the Albion!

Good effort that!

This one is bloody loud, and is constant noise for about 8 minutes - pure and unedited.

Read somewhere on here that its been condemned and no fans will be in that stand next season - will just be where the seated away fans were - and that area isnt that nice !!!!

 

[Gary Gurr]

I am looking forward to Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield away next year.
