I'm surprised they didn't leave the Villa game as the opening. The plan was to have DJs and live music in the afternoon - there would have been smaller crowds, giving them time to iron out teething problems. There's no way I'm going before the Forest game... it'll be carnage
Really!? The catering at the Amex was an absolute joke for about two years after it opened! It was a complete shambles when it first opened.Rose tinted spectacles maybe but I seem to remember the opening of the Amex wasn’t too shabby, or are you referring to your experience of things you have been directly involved in?
A smaller ramp-up event definitely would have made sense. But I guess the opportunity to get another few grand in was too much to pass up, if they can get it ready in time.
I guess you're right. It's a risk though - you only get one shot at a first impression.
Not in football you don't. You have tens of thousands of mugs ready and willing to spunk their money every two weeks on over-priced, poor quality service. I can't wait to do just that at the Forest game.
Dick's was like having a beer in a caretaker's cupboard, and soulless. It was still rammed every week, as will be this place come what may.
Two years? Only 2?!
See you in there before the quarter final then?Yep fair enough. You (and @Commander ) are correct. We're all utter mugs
oh... smaller ramp up events are planned. Don't be foolish to think that Forrest is the first event.
Great prices though... £3.50 Piglets pies, £4.20 Harveys if memory serves me.
An evening with Craig? That is a bit niche for Brighton fans.
So they're not Gumping in at the deep end?
The company were so bad they were removed from their contract.
Nope. I'll be sticking with The Caxton
There are ramp-up events prior.
Considering there is nearly 14 years of inflation to add to that, the prices aren’t too bad now.
Yes agree. I still find £7.00 a pint rather uncomfortable mind you (anywhere, not just the Amex).
