Good points and well made. That is why I attend Shoreham games more than I do the Albion, even having done the 92 grounds and having a ST for 34 years until I gave it up a few years ago.
Sometimes seeing these tools on youtube watching games from behind their PC's then telling anyone who will...
Totally this. Yes, its a great stadium but the away fans are an after thought. Maybe next time they come to Sussex we should put their fans at Withdean and give them binoculars. Worst Prem stadium to visit purely as an away fan. You might as well be on the moon.

Just looking forward to next season now
