[Albion] Away fans to be moved at the Amex from 2027/28 (was 2025/26)

[The Grockle]

Wonder how many more seats they can get in that corner

I couldn't work out if it means they are developing the South West corner or just moving away fans there

It sounds like developing it, taking out the Heineken lounge as part of it

 

[The Grockle]

Be interesting to see if they take a block of the south stand too. I can't see a two tier south west corner housing 3k away fans

 

[pocketseagull]

Sounds like I'll be sitting above the away fans. A shame, love my seat but the prospect of having to endure oppo fans singing from the pretty quiet West Upper is unappealing.

 

[Nitram]

I’ve had the exciting offer of moving the seats I’ve had since the stadium was built. Lots of us know each other and it will be interesting to see what the others we know will do.
I’m on the fence as I don’t really want to be in the South Stand but it’s a bit of a gamble what bellend you may be seated next to if go somewhere else. At least it’s a few seasons to ponder.

 

[Giraffe]

I think it’s a great solution to a problem that was blindingly obvious when the Amex opened. Should have happened ages ago. Disappointing that we have to endure another two and half seasons of it yet.

Makes no sense to me. Hiwcwill atmosphere improvetyere are only so many vocal fans if anything it'll spread those thinner we congregated together creates more noise.why give away fans what must be better higher priced seats and standing in upper tear never a good idea.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

No chance they are going to erode the corporate seat headcount, assuming that’s the end of the north shelf for the causal fan as well by moving the Heinekens seats there

Split the away fans into two should possibly mean that they end up singing different songs at different times to each other, thus halving the effect. If the same light touch stewarding is applied in the south as the north (fat chance) then our lot may actually be able to drown out the away fans, safe standing would help with this.

Brighton & Hove Albion: Amex to move away fans in £40m upgrade

The investment at the American Express Stadium will improve matchday for home fans, says the club.

£40m!

Good news, absolutely loads of investment in the Amex, away fans finally moved, fanzone and safe standing

Bad news, even more supporters trying to get home from midweek games, prawn sandwich brigade in the North, club museum shut for another year

Ask any Holte End Villa fans what their US ownership is doing.... sectioning off a chunk of the HE for a new corporate lounge and seating.... seems that nothing gets in the way of greed, not even more than a century of traditional support.

Any ideas how to improve the atmosphere, I know let's extend the NS, perfect. Hmm, let's also make the extension 1901, but let them wear kit, perfect more noise and more money

I guess if you'd read the article about our Amex plans for development back in 1998, you'd have to say it was the realms of fantasy.

Seems like we are happy for TB to spend his money, but opposed to him trying to maximise his revenue. It’s called business and we are lucky to have someone in charge who also cares about our club.

Or would people rather we got left behind?

 

[Vaughan Storm]

All I really ask for tbh is that free travel remains. But that's probably going to be too much to ask for in PB's eyes

 

[Is it PotG?]

Should be shoved in to the SE corner.

Because at the minute the north is so loud and intimidating?

The 1901 digs always make me smile as from where I sit, a lot join in with the police box end and west upper….. A lot of long term supporters in those areas towards the north end (can’t comment South of the directors area).

Like you though, agree with the away fans being moved, I’m more surprised it wasn’t the South East though.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I’ll retract my previous statement as looks like the original north shelf is safe and we are getting some (hopefully) noisy neighbours

Shame it's not right across the north.
