The Amex - A view from Millwall Fans

[stroller]

Well said mate apart from the 10/10. I'll would give it a respectful 7 and probably an 8 when finished.

Yes I think most would agree with you. For me I look forward to home games like I havnt for 20 years. I love every minute of it. Love having a beer in the ground so im always there early. The place makes me feel like a kid again so for that its 10 for me

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Would any stadium get a full 10/10, theres always going to be little niggling problems ?

 

[Gazwag]

Ground not finished, fact,atmosphere was shit, fact,food is shit, fact,service is shit, fact,transport to and from stadium is shit, fact, you think that warrants 10/10,i say no more.

I didnt say that at all - I said in order to give a ground 3/10 you must have in your mind another ground to compare it with. OK 10/10 is perfect so mayby that's what the confusion is.

What is, in your opinion, the bext ground in the country. Give that 9/10 then judge every other ground by that. Otherwise how can you compare.

The sub-human lifeforms are all moaning about the trains as well. Didn't they have a special train laid on for them to take them back to London Bridge?!?

Yes, but it wasnt widely used by them. A lot went to Lewes and Brighton for normal trains. Didnt help that it left at 10.30 when all they want to do is go home.

Its not facts tho mate.....its an opinion, a wrong opinion! Ha ha Most BHA fans love the stadium, food, atmosphere, even the transport, some will have gripes but ALL stadium in the country have problems and ours is not an exception. Anyway you can bet your boots people are working on improving every aspect of the matchday experience, some thing will get better others probably will not.
IMHO the transport has improved 100% and is on a par with most big venues. The thing i mostly dislike is generated by the fans themselves......why dont they throw their rubbish in the bins? Why do fans leave bottles on the floor. Its our ground why cant we look after it and treat it as our home?

As Brighton fan i love our home,its our home no one elses,and from where we have come from,its a miracle,but we see it week in week out,comments made from Millwall fans are on 1 game,and from that 1 game,is what they are judging it on,agreeing with some of what they say is an offence?

Anyway who cares what Milllllllwalllllllllll think? Not me. If they loved the place it would be already wrecked with no families or women in attendance. Perhaps they only like socialising with their own sort.......the irony.

We all love the Falmex because we have Withdean fresh in the memory banks, and nearly all of us are aware of the struggle to build the ground.

There have been other away fans too who have been less than gushing in praise for the ground too though.

It's certainly not a 3/10 ground, but the comments about transport, refreshments (no chips remember!) and the unfinished element of the East and corners do have some resonance.

We see the doughnut, they see the hole, the truth is probably somewhere inbetween.

 

[kevo]

When the East Stand Upper is added and the corners filled in, we'll get a lot more positive feedback. Although, in all honesty, who cares what away fans think? Personally, I like the fact that it doesn't look like your average, identikit, straight-out-of-the-box, boring, soul-less bowl.

And it is far superior in every way (design, atmosphere, you name it...) to the New Den.

Dont make it Fact tho does it, some fans on that forum liked the stadium and by the stance of that forum that "opinion" seems to be by their more errr shall we say bigoted fans!

Opinions will always differ,best ground in the country is never gonna be spot on,its loads better than,Hartlepools,but in my opinion,not as good as Cardiffs new ground,by agreeing with what Millwall fans said,i was seeing it from thier point of view.

What the hell does that mean? We've been a similar sized club to them for many years.

Also interested as to how anyone waited 45 minutes for a train when I had 1 pint (25 minutes) then walked straight onto one.

I had to wait 50 minutes for a train mate. I should have stayed for a pint like I normally do, as you end up getting on the train with everyone's who has been waiting for 50 minutes. There's just no point going to the station unless you leave insanely quickly.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

I think other fans are more impressed with it. Was on the Amex tour the other day and apparently Blackpool really liked it, they also said they liked the fact the club "had changed the South Stand signs Tangerine" - if only they knew

Bout sums it up......love the doughnut/ hole saying!

 

[ROSM]

We see the doughnut, they see the hole, the truth is probably somewhere inbetween.

and they accuse us of thinking that any hole's a goal?

 

[Max Paper]

To be fair,3 of the stands aint all that,atmosphere was shit from home fans,pies are shit also,queuing for a pint for 15 minutes then closes as you get there,50 minutes after the game to get on a train,i would give 3/10 also if i was an away fan after all that.

Right, 3 of the stands ain't all that? Compared to what/who? Pie's are shit? that's YOUR opinion, not a FACT! Queueing for a pint at a football match? NO f***ing WAY?? 50 minutes to get on a train? FALSE.

3 out of 10?

f*** off.

You're offering opinions, not facts.

Until you work out the difference, your opinion is worthless. Fact.
