What one thing would you change at the Amex ?

[Hillian1]

A bigger/ steeper North Stand is desperately needed IMHO.

Here's a very quick visual showing how it could work..

That would be mustard.

Paint some of the concrete and other grey areas.

I am surprised that there is still a lot of grey concrete rather than painting or covering it all blue. St Mary's for example has red covering on every stairway, vomitory and advertising area, looks a lot smarter IMHO.

I have thought this from day one, I love the Amex but far to much grey on show.

The tunnel is the bit I find strange. Surely that should be blue and white instead of being a slab of grey.

Paul Barber covered this when he did his local q&a - the club want to do this themselves but it relates to the health and safety cert for the stadium which covers all the outside areas as well. As we are a new stadium the council are over cautious with all there restrictions therefore we currently need to make more effort such as more stewards, nothing blocking walkways, no congestion points no risk of fan flash points outside, etc. He stated that each year the rules will be relaxed and as soon as possible they will start to exploit the areas outside the ground.

Health and safety .... Someone might slip on spilt mustard.

H&S gone mad. A few club hot dog type caravans eg near the bike area would cause no trouble and might generate some cash. Overpaid consultants dreaming up more concerns, away from the real world.

I agree a larger home end would be amazing but I really don’t think it’s embarrassing. I think the problem is the West stand is so dominating, the Amex might not the largest stadium but the West stand must be in the top 10 largest stands in England it is truly HUGE.

I also think the North stand is much improved now the corners hve been filled, this photo really does it justice…..

The NS with the corners, holds approx 4,000 and goes back about 29 rows.

Its certainly not small, but the amazing WS, and ES, make it look small.

It was just the constrains of the site, that led to this visual disparity.

But it would be great if one day with PL money, if it could be extended back in the middle, perhaps by eating into office/storage space.

And it'll be perfectly possible to move a lot of the office space to the training ground building...

Not that I think we should change anything, but a few on here would like to change things. Is there any one thing you would like to change about the Amex ?

The location it`s in the wrong f***ing place

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Build a hotel ( with a decent pub attached ) within walking distance - 'dynamite' as N.Baker would say.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

An Uncle Sams franchise. Obviously.

After today, people leaving early.

Lol...you would have thought they would have stayed to cheer team off the pitch...it's a well worn subject, but it does surprise me they go at 80 mins on a Saturday match..but hey ho

This could be it. The one thing I could have asked for before today was a special queue for people buying Harvey's and Kronenbourg. And lo and behold today there was one!

Or add some murals. Here's what Plymouth did at their ground:

[BUTTERBALL]

A slip road built on a little bit of the field at the bottom of Falmer Rd to speed up the P&R buses.

 

[BensGrandad]

I'm not sure that the club would be allowed to put kiosks along that stretch as it is major access directly to station and other routes.

Noticed EA Sports had a a large moble showroom where a burger or chip van could go yesterday. The HSE rules must not apply to them.

Wish one of the end stands was bigger:
