How will you refer to the stadium in future?

[Kinky Gerbil]

The Amex@Falmer?

 

[Dave the OAP]

the footy.

personally I think the naming of stadiums is all crap anyway ( although great for money - which is what it is all about nowadays)

Huddersfield named the stadium, voted the best in the country at the time, The MacAlipne Stadium ( who built the Stadium). Everyone knew it as that....then they changed it to the Glapharm Stadium which is a Pharmaceutical company.

So now we have the Amex Stadium but we will always know it as Falmer Stadium.....

I cant wait for my letter from the club telling me about AMEX with the application for an AMEX card enclosed!

Of course if they are really clever, they could make the membership/swipe card for ticket collection etc American Express cards!!!!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I will probably just call it 'the stadium'

As in "You coming to the stadium on Saturday?"
or
"It's a 7:45 kick off at the stadium on Wednesday."

 

[Simster]

The Amex.

Actually, I'll probably just call it what everyone else calls it, which will start off as "Falmer"
and gradually move to "The Amex" over time.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Move forward. Have a plaque or something to remember the history, but it's time for us to build a new future.

Err.....I have. Hence my comment "Glad we've moved on etc". Was merely pointing out that there was a lot less chat about The Goldstone in relation to the stadium name than there would have been even a year ago. I think it's brilliant that we are now a forward looking club and not one united by a sadness about the past and a hatred of men who should never be referred to again.

The Amex, it's the future and it sounds way better then Falmer.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Although the 'something else' option isn't a bad one:

"We've got Arsenal in the fifth round at the something else on Saturday, you coming?"
or
"The Albion are unbeaten in a run of ten games at the something else so far this season."
etc.

 

[Brovion]

Honestly not sure. Like everybody else I've been calling it 'Falmer' for so long it'll be strange to refer to it as anything else. But as others have said 'Falmer' does have all sorts of negative connotations associated with it and I'll be glad to let it go (if I can).

I definitely won't be callling it "The American Express Community Stadium" as that's far too much of a mouthful, (and I do think the word 'community' in the title is a little naff, a bit like calling it the People's Stadium), but The Amex? Yeah, I can live with that.

EDIT: And I'll probably be calling it that long after the naming rights have been sold to someone else. The same way as I think of Huddersfield's ground as 'The McAlpine'

I like the name Amex, has been Falmer but Amex could take over after a while.



Mmmmmm Brighton are on an unbeaton run of eleven games since moving to the impressive Amex arena...........its got a ring to it you know

Shame it isnt The Vuvuzela stadium

 

[strings]

Shame it isnt The Vuvuzela stadium

Oh. My. Word.

This is what I will now be calling the new stadium.

The Amex Vuvuzela Stadium.

 

[Bwian]

It has been referred to as Falmer for WAY too long so I'll happily see that dropped-time to move on.

Amex is good.

Amstad sounds like we we're Reading wannabes.

:vuvu2:

I expect a CACOPHONY of Vuvuelas at The Amex!!

:vuvu2: :vuvu2: :vuvu2:

 

[Stinky Pete]

Will always be Falmer to me, however i do like the sound of "The Amex", although putting "Arena" after it sounds shite imo.

 

[Badger]

Falmex

 

[Bozza]

The Goldstone Ground in Hove was known as 'The Goldstone'.

Withdean Stadium in Withdean was known as 'Withdean' (or 'The Withdean' to a few freaks).

So why would The Amex Stadium in Falmer be known as Falmer? We've never been building Falmer, we've been building at Falmer.

Ooh I disagree. We've been building (and fighting for) 'Falmer Stadium'. There are countless posts referring to it as that. Ditto expressions such as 'when we get Falmer'.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Amex for me , Falmer is about the long hard fight to get the ground. Anyone know what the official pronunciation will be , Amex or Aymex ?
