The absolute best thing that could happen would be the abolishing of the Categorised matches,it's nothing more than thievery,to pay extra for the very same thing depending on the opposition is unpalatable at least,I'm sure other clubs may well do it but that doesn't make it right,other than that paint the roof blue and white :)

Although categorised match tickets do not affect me, as I’m a season ticket holder, I agree with your criticism. I would like to think that the vast majority of fans that go to the Amex go to support and watch the Albion, not the opposition. There are many Brighton fans who are not ST holders and are only able to attend a handful of games - why should they be financially penalised because the opponents are a “big” club.

Maybe the club could introduce (if they haven’t already done so) a scheme included in the membership package that allows fans to purchase tickets at base level. As for football tourists and opposition fans trying to get in on the sly, well, that’s another matter.

More concourse shelving
Get the outside concourse sorted as planned (big screen, more food, toilets)
Improved food options in WSL
Away fans moved closer to NS and not behind the goal

And also, less serious but I feel worth a punt, have trained bomber seagulls to harass the opposition goalkeeper during penalties.

That's a lovely gesture, i.e. give them something to do seeing as how their involvement in the penalty is not required.

Bench seating, where practical, around the edge of Dick’s Bar. I nearly always have to consume my pie and pint whilst sat on the floor! For that matter, there could be similar bench seating (and more shelves) on the concourses.

More food and drink options outside, together with the long mooted toilets.

Opportunity to donate your season ticket for a game rather than put it on the exchange. So if, for example I can't make a game I could choose to let the club give it to a good cause instead. Let AITC hand it on to someone worthy or something. Makes sure the seat is used and does something good with it.

Good idea.

I have just seen a West Ham fan on Twitter trying to sell 2 tickets in the WSU. Not saying he got these through the exchange but I wouldn’t want to sell my ticket on the exchange if somehow it ended up with an away fan sitting in my seat.

Insist on SASTA providing a minimum 10 minute service each way with 8 coach trains. With all the rolling stock standing around, this is surely not too much to ask. An 8 coach train only needs the one driver!

Not going to happen and certainly not in a summer but there's one thing that disappoints me about the Amex. The stands in the stadium favours those side-on (ie E&W) rather than behind the goals (ie N&S). Being at the new White Hart Lane as one example reinforces the importance of the behing the goal stands. This is also the single most important thing that would improve the atmosphere. But, as I begun, not going to happen.

Thai noodles and other street foods like we were promised…….. it’s the only reason I got a season ticket

It’s it possible some sort of sitting outside near the food outlets near north stand entrance and the shop !

For me the club missed a great cheap opportunity here when the stadium was built. There was loads of waste building material that probably went to landfill or something that could have been used to make blocks to sit on outside (as at the Emirates) . They could have been positioned along the fences without obstructing the fans elsewhere on the outside concourses. Similarly something could be done to enable people to sit with a pint and a pie on the concourses under the stands. Mr Barber disagrees but there was a time when some boards were stacked under the ESL and it was a joy to have somewhere to sit. I rarely bother with food and drink now because my knees won't allow me to stand for long periods. It really wouldn't take a lot of effort or cost much

I would love this but wasn't it overturned at the planning stage for some bizarre reasoning

I vaguely remember it being a technical issue but I'm very likely wrong and the one person that could absolutely answer it on here, [MENTION=6]Lord Bracknell[/MENTION]l , is sadly no longer with us and debating with [MENTION=3975]ben[/MENTION]'s Grandad !

Some more stalls for selling beer only, to take the pressure off the queues at the main food/bar outlet.

More Albion artwork/images in the concourses.

The volume turned up on the concourse TVs.

More shelving to put your beer/food.

There are often queues getting into the toilets but there's also free wall space where more urinals could be added. Add some more and reduce the queues.

Give the roof a good clean and return it to its original blue colour.

Add a similar box thats seen in the south east corner to the north east corner to make that whole stand look more complete/balanced.

Removed the police box and add a new tier/shelf over the north stand. But if thats not happening i'd like to see the grey wall look more Albionized with flags etc.

And crack on with the improvements to the external areas of the stadium.
