[Albion] How the Amex ranks in Venue Performance Rating

[Giraffe]

Ha.....our forum was recently debating which English ground was furthest from a private house ( the nights just fly by ) & Brighton got a shout. My feeling was that Falmer station was there before the uni or the stadium, so there must be some houses nearby, though i haven't seen them. What do you think ?

& i think Reading was the decision.

Middlesbrough?

Middlesbrough?

A private house you'd actually consider living in, certainly.

About 200 miles away.

Middlesbrough?

I was going to say Doncaster but looking at a map Reading looks about right

175 metres to the houses by the station.

Or

244 metres to nearest house in Falmer village.

Your measuring line goes over two houses next to the station which are much closer.

The statement that Elland Road has better external features than the Amex, however, clearly makes this bollocks. What external features are they exactly, the Ring Road or the semi derelict industrial areas?

Maybe the friendly locals that put a nail in my tyre a few years ago.

I was surprised how well the Amex came out of this to be honest. I love the place and wouldn't swap it. I think it is a fantastic stadium, but the location was always a massive compromise.

It seems that Anfield outscores Old Trafford in every category, which I thought was a little odd. Footballing wise no argument right now, but just on stadium size, I would have expected to see a different result.

Agree, it looks like we are 10th in England overall. Not bad for its location and capacity.
