What am Awful Ground

[STID2017]

Have to say, apart from the main stand, the rest is poor.
The two end ones are like lower league stands.
Nice comfy seats though

 

[monmouth]

Aye, I thought it looked nice and then got in, fur coat and no knickers.

So I didn’t find the seats comfy

Are you at the Brighton.com stadium in Falmer? Never been to it but the Swan pub there was my local. We got pissed in the Swan on the day of Charlie boy’s wedding. Royal Wedding free zone it was. Happy days.

Not tonight, but STID is. It’s the Amex now.

First firkin shot.

 

[Itchysphincter]

I’ve been a few times. Fucking miles away.

 

[Niigata Jack]

I’ve been a few times. f*****g miles away.

Mrs Brother lives there and got us tickets for the game they stuck 5 on us, absolute pain in the arse to get transport to come from the ground wasn't to bad before game as Mrs brother, took us to nice little village for a few beers before the game and then we had a train straight into the Stadium.

Absolutely bastard froze in the ground that day and waiting for a bus into Brighton after the game was worse, 2 buses went past full and we manged to get on the 3rd one and went into Brighton, never go to their ground again.

Main "car park" is in the University, which isn't far except when you get lost wandering around the massive campus. Also had to be careful who I asked for directions - for obvious reasons

Disagree I thought it was a great looking ground. Nothing outside though, very poor, there were 2 food vans and 1 coffee van. No restaurants

I was a little annoyed with the parking, when I arranged for disabled parking, they said "we've got you in our closest car park, 2 min walk to the ground" it was actually a 15 min walk, and a complete bottle neck getting out of there.

Did you stay up G? I got home at 2am.

And should easily have gone 3-2 up second half

I was parked over in the University as I said.
When I found my car in fairness I was away and on the way home in no time.
Missed the turning to join M4 after the diversion, at Reading, so had a little detour, plus with the Cardiff detour i had an argument with my sat nav
Still got home about 2.15
All in all not my most enjoyable away trip

I was not in a good place when I said about their ground, although thought the two ends would have been bigger ?

Yeah agree mate, it holds over 30k so yeah could have beefed up those 2 stands. What I did find odd was their 'singing section' was like our East stand, and we put the away fans in the South Stand, it killed the atmosphere for me.

Yes it was weird. Most of the banter was with the people near us in the Family Stand.
As you say very little atmosphere

There's rarely any atmosphere in the East stand (the family one). Had you been in the North stand or the West stand you'd have a very different impression.
