The Amex will send us down

[sir albion]

It's not the fans that create poor results...Its poor tactics mostly and no desire to go for a more comprehensive win while leading.

Unless we can improve results and the atmosphere there. A good result today and definitely a point gained in a game I was expected we would get spanked. I have far more faith in the performances away than at home. What's to blame?

Youre right......I really miss the electric atmosphere at withdean and the drive to Gillingham. Barber out!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The Amex has lost its mojo with too many fans in a catatonic state throughout the game apart from a polite clap if we score a goal.

The majority are not fans, they're customers. The more The Flight Of The Lanyards gathers pace, the noisier it will get, as the Withdean Five Thousand and the Away Support gain the upper hand numerically.

You can criticise Pompey and Leeds for a lot but they are the sort of fans we need to become loud, hostile and passionate, ok neither are doing so well but at least the atmosphere at there home games is good. Away we are fine but at home its not currently happening.

With respect, take your press influenced inferiority complex and chuck it in the English Channel. The Goldstone and the Amex both have as good and better noise than than both Leeds and Pompey depending on the game. Really, I have had enough of this drivel by people who have probably never seen a game that has not had Brighton in it. I once watched Leeds v Coventry in the Premier League. Coventry didnt half fill the away end and Elland Road was quieter than a Convent on Good Friday.

To complacent at home, too many "fans" not creating a fortress. The club only to happy to make it a nice day out for opposition fans and players. Other teams love coming here they hated withdean.

lets go back to the withdean ffs

The atmosphere was undeniably better with only 16k in the ground against Wigan. The missing 7k customers/lanyard wearers prove they don't add anything.

Yes blame the stadium for our current predicament.......thats the ticket

personally i think its Diana`s fault

Thatcher must be at least partly to blame?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Not such a good haul this time. You need to change your bait.

We've won err.........how often this season away from home?

We won at Leeds despite their err 'loud', hostile (haha) & passionate fans.

I actually think you have a point. The Amex should be a fortress, but it isn't. Which is a real shame.

 

[jackanada]

the place is souless and too many moaners keen to get on players backs!

Speak to any fan of any club who sits anywhere in any ground and he will say there was some right tit who knew very little about football moaning the whole way through.

Or that the £16k were all more lubricated having been able to leave the pub later and get served at the ground quicker. I had a 2 pint halftime just because I queued up got a pint and drank it and was so shocked by the amount of time I had left I needed another drink.

 

[Dan Aitch]

The OP has a point - when's the last time the Amex actually scored a goal?

 

[ewe2]

.....but we man this fortress ......!

 

[B.W.]

Agree the results need to improve, but why must the atmosphere
And i don't see how the Amex is directly responsible for the performances, very inaccurate thread title.

This. The atmosphere will improve if the results and performances improve.

Doubt it. The Amex is a library.

Doubt it. The Amex is a library.

There have been games when that wasn't the case. No chance under Sami...
