**OFFICIAL** American Express Community Stadium

[Rookie]

Swear I've just seen a teaser for a bit from Fal ... I mean the American Express Community Stadium. Anyone seen it already worth waiting for?

Seeing the Bloomster in those wellies, with the ball at his feet, is he perhaps the left sided dynamo midfielder we've been looking for

AMerican Express Community Stadium

The AMECS.

oh wait

 

[brighton_tom]

very happy with that.... a global brand like that will bring a bit of profile and money to the club.

everyone will just end up calling it The Amex Stadium, or Falmer...

 

[Brightonfan1983]

Don't care about the money. The name is horrible. I hate it.

 

[Zeff]

I always hoped a Worldwide Company, would sponsor our new stadium/league one football team, but never really thought they would, so I for one, am absolutely shocked/delighted, and so should every other Albion Fan

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I'm absolutely delighted by the news. This is superb for us and the area of Brighton and Hove.

 

[Notters]

Anyone else think the logo looks REALLY shit?! It's like a deflating rugby ball.

 

[Jamie_Seagull]

I like it, not so sure about the logo though! :S

 

[Spider]

Bollocks to being delighted. I understand the fact that in the modern game every new stadium has to be called the BLAND SPONSOR...stadium but I will be calling our ground Falmer and hoping others follow suit. A shit name.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

As far as branded staduim names go, I don't think 'The Amex' is too bad.

Exactly, it could have been a hell of a lot worse, and it's not like we didn't always know the stadium name was going to be sold off.

At least it's a well known company that people have actually heard of rather than some tinpot local outfit that would have made the whole thing sound cheap.

Whatever the reasons behind it may be, how many other League One clubs have attracted such a huge and well known name to sponsor anything to do with them?

Some people are never happy.

I do not get this type of comment at all. You want success but not the investment, run that past me again? You do know how things work business wise don't you? It really does not matter what we all call it personally. It is just a sponsors name but the investment is vital, I remember people years ago hating the shirt sponsor thing and now nobody thinks twice about it. It is just sign of the times, just get used to it and move on.

Well said that man

No, I think the logo is very good.

Simple, succinct, recognisable, appropriate.

There will be no seats where that was taken from. Not until they put the second tier in.

Nice flamboyant pose by Mr Perry!
