Highly recommended and reasonably priced. Perhaps choose a day that isn't so cold though!

A few thoughts:
Didn't realise the concourse is open in the north stand-blooming freezing, but some great old photos in there. Could have spent at least an hour looking at them and smiling.
The corporate boxes seem pretty soulless, but a great place to watch when it's cold.
Liking the artwork in the Upper West, but jeez those seats are high up!
Dark star seems to be available all around the ground now - excellent.
The kit man has a tough job.
The home changing room is very snazzy and state-of-the-art.
Betting booths could be there at some point.
The ground looks fooking beautiful from pitch side (and, well, from every angle really).
The extra seats (if permitted) are going to really increase the aesthetics inside from the West.
The press get free drinks and food on matchdays and their room is the biggest in the country. Lucky barstewards.

Had lunch in the brasserie too and can report that it was not only mega cheap, but very tasty too and a pretty good selection to choose from. A lot of old folks in there though. The catering kids do a good spread.

Still can't believe it's ours. Still can't believe we never have to go to Pissfield or Withers ever again.
Tony Bloom - take a bow.

If you haven't already done it, go for it and book yourself a place; and then wrap up warm!

Ring the club, £10 or £5 for concessions. I went a couple of weeks ago and thought it was well worth it. It takes about 2 hours.

Spot on. It's easy as pie to book and good fun to boot. Can't imagine what a tour of Withers would have been like, but I'm willing to be that it wouldn't have hit the spot quite like today did for me. Enjoy, Mr Darren Freeman's Perm

Had a voucher for Christmas and going to book when it gets a little warmer! Thanks for the info.

You're welcome. You shall not regret it. The only thing I'd say is that they must have had plenty of people come down who aren't Brighton fans, because the tour is all-inclusive and aimed at anyone. Lots of facts and figures that most NSCers would know, but anyone who doesn't pop over to the site will not be aware of.

Forgot to add - the players tunnel is fricking awesome. Photos on their way.
