Which STAND Do you Want To Sit In at FALMER

[Mendoza]

As its only 104 weeks to go, but also 548 since we left the Goldstone

Which stand would you like to park your bum when we FINALLY reach The Community Stadium Sponsored by.............. and where abouts in the stand do you want to sit Martin Perry is going to take us on a tour, piss in the loo's and switch some lights on and off, then we will be invited to chose your seat, which for lots of us will be our seat for the rest of our Albion supporting days

I reckon the East side is going to be the place to be.

i reckon so too....shades of the Chicken Run

 

[Lord Bracknell]

I'm coming more and more to the view that I don't want to commit myself to any particular part of the new stadium until I've had the opportunity to "test drive" all the options, in real match conditions.

What this means, of course, is NOT buying a season ticket for the first season.

Does that matter? I never had a season ticket at the Goldstone. I never had a season ticket at Gillingham. I only got one at Withdean because there was such a shortage of seats that it was the only way to guarantee getting in.

When we start playing at Falmer, there will be thousands of seats available on a pay-per-game basis. I can't see the point of committing myself to sitting in the same one each week ... particularly if it turns out that the atmosphere is better somewhere else in the stadium.

Damn, missed West Stand Middle Tier off the poll


Anyway for me, I agree with Lord B, but at the moment am thinking Northstand, towards the back, and slightly towards the West side of the Stand

I've edited the poll to add the previously missing option.

Oddly enough, whenever I've had the choice of where to go in pretty much any stadium I've been in, I've been drawn to ... behind the goal, slightly to the right of the goalposts, three-quarters of the way back.

I think the East stand will be where the LOLs are. You will have the away fans to one side of you and the sight of the MASSIVE stand facing you which will look awesome. COR, it is proper exciting innit.

As Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly
Have you heard of the North Bank, Highbury?
Shanks said "no I don't think so,
but I've of the Brighton EAST SIDE"



EAST EAST EAST siders.



(obviously this doesn't work anymore because both managers are DEAD, Highbury is now a block of flats and Falmer came along about 40 years later )

 

[Man of Harveys]

I reckon LB's idea about giving them all a bit of a tryout is a damn good one.

 

[Easy 10]

West Side, middle or upper, about 30 yards to the left or right of the halfway line (so I'm a bit CLOSER to one of the goals, but not too far away from the other one). I don't like being low down because you can't really see whats properly going on. And I don't want to be facing the SUN during the game.

 

[HG201]

Presuming the north stand will be the singing section, i will be found near the back of this beautiful roofed stand

 

[Here's Johnny!]

There's only gonna be one winner in "we're the east side/west side" chants really but not sure where I wanna be sat yet.

Same, but to the left.

I very much hope there won't be a designated singing section.

Do we really want three-quarters of the stadium to be designated the "sit-down-shut-up" area?

 

[Heffle Gull]

I hope to resume my old Goldstone Position.

Back row of the North Stand, right behind the goal.

 

[The Large One]

ANYWHERE inside the ground, facing that large flat green thing would suit me just fine.

Thats where i stand everytime to watch my local team (wen im not watchin albion away) play, best atmos and always guarenteed a seat

 

[DerbyGull]

go where ever the atmos is

 

[wellquickwoody]

Old Skool!

Three quarters of the way back, on the terracing next to the away fans! ( I wish! )

 

[Notters' Dad]

I'd like to sit (according to the question) where there atmosphere is, where I could stand not sit (!) - probably therefore towards the back of the North Stand.
I had the same idea as LB though about trying various areas and not initially buying a season because of the ready availability of seats. A major downside to this approach would obviously be the impact on club finances (i.e. cash-flow). Perhaps that's why Martin Perry said there would be "incentives" to buy season tickets?
