"The Amex is not efficient"

[Sam Ovett]

So I'm talking about how The Amex beat this stadium we're watching to the "Best New Sporting Venue" award...

Saints fan (of course) provides plenty of amazing quotes:

"haha, who was the judge? Stevie Wonder?"

"it's an awful use of space"

"It's really not efficient"

"St Mary's is much better, as we have more seats with no tiers"

I mean, I thought he might have been joking, but he is not...I just don't get it

Was probably talking about the catering.......away fans can say what they like, when the stadium is finished next year it will look amazing!

What a twat

He meant efficient as in seats to space ratio. I was really confused

 

[SamPeters18]

i think he is just bitter that we smashed them at the AMEX

 

[Icy Gull]

Aston Villa won the hospitality award I think. I hope TB has his eyes on that award next year. What awards have Southampton won for their stadium btw?

Think the Amex won the one voted for by the directors

Is there a link?

"St Mary's is much better, as we have more seats with no tiers"

It's a bit like comparing a christmas cake with a wedding cake - each suits specific needs but our "inefficient" spacious concourses and comfortable seats effect an infinitely superior confection

 

[Biscuit]

There will be tiers [sic] at St Mary's next season when they get relegated without notching a point. Wankers.

"St Mary's is much better, as we have more seats with no tiers"

I fail to see how the absence of tiers is a plus point!! Tiered stadiums are far better.

I think he was trying to imply we aren't using the space well...as in "you have tiers so should have more seats" "We have no tiers therefore ours is better as we are more efficient"

I don't think he understands it to be honest

 

[smiler]

Saints season will all end in tiers

 

[SeagullSongs]

Wouldn't you say that SMS has one tier, not no tiers?

 

[Northstandite]

"St Mary's is much better, as we have more seats with no tiers"

That's the construction £ per seat argument, as lego St.Mary's, Darlington, Derby etc.

Thankfully for us, Knight/TB, and the international panel of architects wanted style.

 

[Lethargic]

But being a Saints fan his opinion does not count .... St Fairies or the Amex you choose?

 

[Brighton TID]

The Amex roofs are supported by twin arch-beams, perhaps the most efficient structural form known to man, articulated in such a way so as to thrust all the forces through the reinforced concrete k9 bearing blocks straight into Brighton's own chalk. St Marys is a simply supported linear, nay boring, structure which could have been designed by a graduate.
