[Albion] What Amex Improvements Would YOU Like To See Over The Summer?

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Absolutely, Dick's Bar gone? and with no consultation with the fans that use it or even prior warning? If that rumour is true then it's appalling PR by the club, and absolutely dreadful. It's been a big part of the Amex since dat one, even l would hazard a guess by people who don't use it.

If the reason for it's demise is to replace it with another floor for the club shop then it's even worse. I mean what more tat is there to sell?

Sounds like BS, but easy enough to check seeing as how Dick's Bar is usually open weekday lunchtimes, selling paninis, limited range of (bottled) beers etc. Might nip up there meself for a nosey round on Monday and report back

Sorry, I assume this is a joke

And not that we have to go through extensive (skewed) surveys on things like safe standing and the park and ride because apparently the fan opinion on that matters (hahaha), but yet they've made up their own mind to get rid of the fans bar (Dicks) in favour of a fanzone they've dreamt up with no consultation on anyone?

God, our club may be fantastically well run but it doesn't mean there's some spectacularly slimey behaviour goes on when it comes to making a few quid.

I think someone is having you on…

I'll put my pitchfork back in the shed then.

Good plan. Yes it's akin to being a staff canteen during the week.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Not at falmer, but it would be great if we could get some shelters at the Park and ride pick up spots. They're really convenient ways to bus to the ground, but not all of us have a car to sit in when it's raining and the bus isn't ready to go.

I can't speak for the Racecourse, but the problem with Mill Road, is that the car park is, essentially, in the road, so it would look a bit odd having bus shelters along there, that are probably only going to be used for a few hours every other week.

The local council will need to be in agreement too, different at the Amex where the buses park on land owned by the club, (maybe it's there that we need shelters).

Still showing on the club website with opening hours etc

Talking to someone who has been there recently and the fanzone is almost complete and will hold 1000.
Dicks bar apparently is no more as they are looking to have another level for the club shop.
The tunnel club is complete and already sold out at 10k a season.

That's definitely BS, not a chance a season ticket costs 10k

Cant believe Dicks bar has gone. The only fans bar yet fans not consulted.. Sad but club just interested in making money.

They’ve also removed the bars from the north stand concourse.

Apparently they've removed the upper tier on the West Stand

Its at Amex P&R where you can wait for up to an hour that needs a shelter

An Only Fans bar! Crikey, that's brave. Where is it? So I can avoid it.

“Affordable” house no doubt, it always bloody is!

Or rethink the P+R operation. I note that for the friendly against the Spanish side, the Racecourse P+R is £3 per passenger, paid in advance only. A step in the right direction to reduce the pressure on the buses and help with costs.

Thought all friendlies have had charges for transport over the years.

At the amex you can stay dry on the concourse.

They have.

Not much use if you want to queue for a bus though, if you want to get away early queuing in the rain is the only option.
