[Albion] Stories from the home end

[Herr Tubthumper]

I noticed a few home end supporters hanging around after the final whistle, presumably Albion. Friend said he saw quite a few people buying tickets off Amsterdam fans in Dam Square. I’m interested to hear your stories. What was it like? Did the tickets work, any issue getting in? Did you keep quiet when we scored?

We flew from Bristol to Amsterdam yesterday for £40 (bargain) and had friends living there. They bought 4 tickets in the home section right in the middle of stand behind the goal. Great view and great to be able to have a beer in the stands. What a night in town afterwards. A night to remember!

What a view. Was it hard sitting on your hands when we scored? Not sure if I could do that.

Fair play, looks awesome, I’ve done this before but not something I’d want to do regularly, my reason was it used to be the only way to watch our match without an Albion ticket, that’s no longer the case, you can watch any match live on the net now.

Remember if you’ve done this yourself then you’re no longer in a position to moan about it at the Amex……

A photo of the away end, from where I was sat just along from it. Got rumbled around 80mins when the bloke next to me started asking me a question directly in Dutch, but it was all good natured until the final whistle.

I remembered not to cheer, which was not fun, and attempted a Brighton chant ventriloquist act, whenever I could hear the away fans over the F-Side, which I was sitting above.

The concourses are superb, by the way. It’s what I imagined the Amex concourses were going to be…

The away concourse wasn't quite so fancy!

No problems at all. We didn't leap around but just enjoyed ourselves and the Dutch around us were brilliant. We chatted before the game (as they all speak perfect English) and were really nice to us. They gave us their views as to why they were struggling so much. A refreshing change and really nice people to sit amongst.

One of our mob had

a decent seat, he said it was loud until we went ahead then understandably went a bit flat

Ah, that’s where the old Huish Park pitch ended up.

I’ll be hypercritical if I want god dam it!

Was next to the away end to the right hand side. Great ground but even better hearing Ajax fans moan and complain the whole game. Had to take it in at the end View attachment IMG_2079.jpeg

Over the TV they seemed incredibly angry with the officials, an Amex crowd on steroids.

That’s really, really cool. Slightly envious!
