Amex stadium improvements - pics & article

[Weststander]

New article on the Argus site. Pics plus interesting comments from TB & MP, including TB recalling that many had said the Albion's new stadium should have a capacity of 10,000.

Thanks.

Are some seats going to be installed on the front lip of that studio?

I absolutely love the Amex. What a fantastic stadium we have. Built for the Premier league

'Bedwetters' only

It's up to us now. Tony Bloom has delivered everything we could ever have dreamed about and more. All that remains is for 28000 people per match to be utterly behind the team from start to finish, whether we're 1-0 up or 4-0 down. It's the best possible way to repay him and our best possible chance of survival. If everyone can save the moaning for NSC, the Amex can have an atmosphere that puts stadia twice the size in the shade.

It looks like there might well be, either that or position for more cameras?

Agreed, so now let's bloody well stay there!

Well said. We know we can make the Amex a cauldron of noise but if we can get the place seriously rocking this season - consistently - it may just be the difference that gains us an extra point or two to keep us up

Do the new floodlights mean we can have one of those amazing lightshows that some other clubs have?

Argus says Amex has become a 'fortress' - have we added ramparts?

It won't be long before the peasant dwellings and market place pop up outside the walls making it a thriving trading post.

Yes. And boiling oil poured onto those leaving in the 85th minute.

When this was mentioned on NSC recently, it was said that there's no access. Unless the punters barge past the Sky team!

I don't think Sky will be using that box. It's for international broadcasters and so most of the time will be a hospitality area.

We'll never fill 22k.

 

[cardboard]

separate entrance from the outside and yes there will be seats at the front

 

[Easy 10]

We'll never fill 22k.

Especially when "2nd season syndrome" kicks in and the novelty has worn off.



Oh.

Your nimbyism lost.

A couple of non descript fields and some run down Uni buildings, were transformed into a PL temple, the pride of the county and city.

Looks like it or a standing area.
