amex stadium capacity
A fantastic away day for any fan. It was a great day out with all fans in good spirits despite the result.
We were back in Brighton in 10 minutes or so and had another beer or two.
After grabbing a pie, I made for my seat (in the North Stand) before taking in the inside of the ground for the first time. 2. Some City fans were still on the M25 well after the game due to some further hold ups. Reading fans occupied part of the South Stand, behind the goal.
This stand has corporate and family facilities as well as home seats.
By the time we got into the ground it was only ten minutes to kick off.
The club website also advertised this facility as being free – we were charged £5 as it was a cup game…..all a bit frustrating after a long drive around the M25! I would have loved to take a wander around and see the rest of the stadiums outskirts but after finally getting off the coach, our main priority was getting our seats and gearing up for the game. Many Forest fans had the same idea and there was a scrum at the bar to get a drink with first one then the other refreshment bar running out of lager! Once we got back to our car it was virtually straight onto the A27, then A23 and away.
I got to the ground with only 30 minutes to spare, so went straight inside.
Another unusual thing was as I said the stadium was not at ground level and had steps and a lift to actually get down to the stadium level when stood at the top of the stairs you could actually see inside the stadium. Fulham held on for the win. The atmosphere was also very good. The crowd, officially given as somewhere above the 24,500 mark didn’t take into account the seagulls cheekily watching for free from the roof of the stadium ; kind of appropriate really though, wouldn’t you say?
I would give the whole day and the Amex Stadium 5 stars!
First from Reading to Brighton and then another train to Falmer Station which is right by the Amex Stadium. When the teams emerged from the tunnel they played Sussex by the sea which again cranked up the noise from the home end but I have to say the PA announcer got very excited when announcing the Albion team screaming and shouting especially when coming to announce the return of top scorer Craig Mckail-Smith. A new stadium which I wanted to see.
That said, I was back in town an hour after kick-off. If any away fans considering using the park and ride for a cup match, I'd recommend phoning the club to check which ones are in use. Visit the website below to see how much you can save on the price of your tickets: Remember if travelling by train then you can normally save on the cost of fares by booking in advance.
Stewards were fine, didn't try the food. When boarding, staff were constantly telling people to move down the carriage and let more people on, despite it being more cramped than the London Underground at rush hour! The stadium located in between two hills and is it not at ground level which means that it is not something that you can spot from a mile away in fact we didn’t spot it until we were about one minute away. We were the first car there, and directions for how to use it (as it is literally just a road!) Really easy thanks to the Park and ride that is included along with your match ticket. The entrance to the away section is at the far end of the stadium from the train station but is only a few minutes walk. My ticket was scanned and the low-level gate allowed me to enter the stadium.
We failed to clear our lines, and the ball broke to marauding full back Bruno Saltor. It was no surprise when they pulled one back and then went onto equalise towards the end. To our left was the West Stand, an impressive three tiered stand with executive boxes running between the tiers. We arrived at the ground early (about 6.30pm for a 7.45pm kick off), and the walkway around the ground was pretty much empty, so we decided to get the train into Brighton, which was a quick and easy trip.
I have been past the ground several times previously so knew what it looked like from the outside.
Studying the design I decided I would build the model in three main sections.

Or to not get annoyed about the rubbish journey to get to and from the ground. I discovered the evening before that some tickets for this game were still available to be bought. It was a great if very tiring day out to the South Coast that was made all the while by a great win over a team that at the time where above us in the league at the time.
The game was enjoyable as we won 3-1 it was a decent game, no singing from the home fans until they scored on the hour but 2,700 travelling Villans made it a good atmosphere. The Villa fans were in good voice all the way through (some Brighton fans we spoke to after the game confirmed this too). As we wandered casually up towards the stadium, we noted the live rock band playing under a small gazebo, and it has to be said they were quite good. I had lunch at a great little cafe in Lewes before getting on the train. The bar showed the lunchtime game between Liverpool and Cardiff and was serving pies as well as a good range of lager and ales. Upon arriving at Lewes none of us had shown our tickets and we could have potentially saved £3.30, however this would have obviously been illegal and any short term gains financially would have given way to a deep sense of unlawfulness……Back in the car we had no issues getting out of Lewes and passed the ground with no traffic problems at all. The original intention was to have a 'leisurely' couple of pints and a nice dinner in Lewes. A great day out despite the weather and the result. Brighton occasionally had their moments but it was poor considering it was a packed out stadium but with our end singing, it does make the day better!
disgusting as the betting one. If you’re going to watch a match here, I recommend going into Brighton first as there is literally nothing at Falmer except the ground and the station. The game was a real borefest I’m afraid – 0-0 does seem to be the most likely score whenever I go to a match as a neutral! Many queued for over an hour, at least it wasn’t raining. At the end we clapped the players for around five minutes. Overall, I was happy with a good performance and a decent away point against one of the better teams in the Championship. Although not local, the club has an historic rivalry with Crystal Palace. The stadium is totally enclosed with all the corners now filled with seating (these were added during the 2012/13 season).
The one saving grace was it wasn't raining.
The outside of the stadium was built up with trees and green which is a change to some of the concrete wastelands I have visited.
These I-beams have all been cut and recreated by hand using a scalpel, then patiently fitted to the purlins. Had some more Harveys so very convivial – chatting with a couple of stewards about footie before we caught the train back to Lewes.
Also at a time where we were getting the very last of the great British summer the Brighton game seemed a great game to go. I was in the East Stand where there is plenty of room and plenty of food and drink outlets. This took about half an hour as there only seemed to be the regular schedule of trains.
We knew the parking at around the ground was very poor, so we decided to take the train to the Falmer station, which is adjacent to the ground. We were soon walking back to the station, where we were met by a very long queue, which took along time to get through. The journey wasn’t great at all to be honest and full of incident.
the best. Parked up in Lewes and got the train over to Falmer.
Buses and cars leave the road at the other end so it is completely one-way and simple.
All the noise during the game came from the away end, the Brighton fans were mostly quiet despite the periods of their dominance which was disappointing..
Watford’s nemesis Anthony Knockaert was receiving plenty of stick from the Watford fans throughout the game, he really was the pantomime villain of the afternoon.
you like comfort, bad news if you were a season ticket
Very enjoyable day out despite the heart breaking manor of the result and I would definitely go again. This was free as return travel between the, Brighton Hotels & Guest Houses - Find and Book Yours And Help Support This Website, Map showing the location of the Amex Stadium, railway stations and listed pubs. It was my first visit to Brighton as I didn't make it to the.
