No offence mate, but are we going to have one of these threads every time an away team likes our ground?

Blimey. Opposition fans whose team lost praising The Amex. Is that a first?

"No half time scores on the big screen was surprising, as mobile signal coverage was very poor"
This used to be a thing, why don't they do it anymore?

What is this 'incident' they keep talking about? And no idea why the scores aren't there anymore...

Its more when they feel like it, had it for the Ipswich and Middlesbrough games.
Signal at the Amex is improving in the North, Ive found anyway.

Its a good ground, especially the West Stand. But the roof is wonky and it will be too small for us if we play top flight football and its also out of town which I dont like personally but beggers couldnt be choosers.

I heard some inside information that The Amex was designed so it could be expanded, not sure how true that is, though.

Chatting to some Charlton fans in Dicks Bar before the game one of them was really savouring his pint of Harveys but then had a really miserable rant about The Amex 'crap location, why did they build it here? why isn't there a car park, the pies are crap' blah blah. I started to put him straight but also to my delight his mates chipped in and said 'FFs you don't understand what this club and its fans have been through, they're effing lucky they still exist, let alone have this fabulous set up.....'. Their conversation quickly turned to where Charlton's future might lie in a year or two and he soon shut up. Te he.
Unfortunately there are too many away fans who don't really understand and can't be bothered to find out why we ended up at Falmer, the severe planning and transport constraints placed on the Club and that a different mindset is required to make it work. Fortunately there are still enough away fans who also appreciate the unique aspects of The Amex experience and is reflected in the majority of decent feedback on that site.

Enjoy reading the feedback of other fans. Makes me realise how lucky we are to ave the Amex.
I actually like visiting The Valley as it is a real football ground so was pleased they enjoyed their trip to us.
It has been!

Expanded to this point, yes. But no further, aside from a few hundred or so extra.

Some Charlton fans turned away because of drunken homophobic chanting in town before the game. They had been warned not to try to go to the ground but ignored it. 4 arrests.
An incident in the south concourse involving drunken yobs expressing their disappointment at their team's display - video sent to the Met and to CAFC. Explains the heavy police presence after the game as the miscreants were guided to the station.
Scores are up on concourse and lounge monitors for all to view.

... and at least one arrest for the same offence at the ground (assuming that the lad I saw holding hands with a policeman, mouthing off about f***ing homophobic abuse being the reason, was a Charlton fan).

They should spread the news to visiting clubs about the stadium app. It worked a treat yesterday.
