What (if anything) will you miss about Withdean?

[The Oldman]

The folk around me. We all seem to be going our seperate ways although we all wanted to stay together but the ST + 3 malarky put an end to that and the view fron South Stand block G. Doubt if it will be bettered in the Amex as my new seat will be much lower in WSL.
However onwards we go. I'm sure the Amex will be great even if I still get wet when it rains.

 

[The Large One]

The fact that it royally f***ed John Catt off.

the lulz of highly paid opposition Premiership/former Premiership players having to get changed in a portacabin

Therein lies the rub. It remains to be seen how much of an advantage this provides when compared to the luxury being offered to opponents at Falmers. Artificial grass indoor warmup areas for the away team I hear? Don't underestimate the "it doesn't feel like home yet" syndrome. I expect facilities are not great for either team at the Withdean, but Brighton players are used to it. At Falmers it will take a while for the venue to feel any different for the home or the away team (support aside of course).

Ah, you see, there is no need to worry about that. John Catt, you see, will remain f***ed off, with something / anything, forever, because that is his nature.

The sense of peace and tranquility.

Standing on the running track before the match starts and watching the warm ups.

Sunshine and being out in the open (start and end of season!).

Five minute wander from my folks' house.

 

[Titanic]

The TREES.

 

[Badger]

The signs at the end of the muddy path saying "No Access to Withdean Stadium" which get completely ignored.

Surely the +3 malarky should've helped you sit together, not hindered?

Colin

He is my folks' next-door-but one neighbour. Him one side, and Catt the other

Dick Knight's centre circle speeches.

I reckon we should wheel DK and Perry out for the final game at Withdean for a farewell speech. Afterall, it was an acheivement even getting back to Brighton.

The Withdean Condoms, and the Withdean Wager "Put the Board down!"

 

[cuthbert]

It's not about the facilities it's about the people, and I'm going to miss meeting them twenty times a season. When I'm passing on the train I'll always look for the old place and remember the people I've met there.

What a pathetic, sad little man "Colin" must be! Probably only does it to fill up his sad little retirement. What will he do for an hour every other Saturday now? Presumably do the same for Cuttress around the pond at Falmer! (And no I have never attempted to park in his road. Just find it very, very sad!).
