2nd November 2019 was my third visit to The AMEX with Norwich and though we have been stuffed on the last two visits I always enjoy the trip. The stadium is beautiful with fantastic sight lines and comfort, great pies and beer. Away fans get treated well and can generate a loud noise, and the Brighton fans create a good noise from two of their stands. Getting there and back from Brighton Station is free though don’t be in a rush after the game as there are queues, as you would expect. The locals are generally friendly and to be honest it is the experience we should expect from going to away matches.

Visited 13/04/19 for the Bournemouth match. Brighton thrashed 0-5. Despite that carnage, the overall experience was pretty nice, but different than any other match I’ve attended in the UK. The modern stadium was comfortable and posh (padded seats!), not sure if that’s good or bad, and the pies were excellent. It was an easy train ride from Brighton, but as others have commented, long lines at the station. They moved fast, but I’d still give a decent amount of time to get there before the game. The away fans were really giving it to the home side at the stadium and on the train, with zero push-back, pretty weak in my opinion. The home fans didn’t really seem to have much of a spine, much like their team on the pitch. All that said, it was a pleasant day in Brighton and a whole new experience compared to other games I’ve been to in the UK.

If you are going by train from the centre of Brighton, leave plenty of time for the journey as the queue at the station was pretty long. Trains may leave every 10-15 minutes but that’s really not regular enough. And coming back is even worse – the queues in both directions from Falmer station stretched a long way and again trains were running at intervals of 15 minutes. This was midweek, maybe they would be more regular on a Saturday afternoon.
The stadium itself is fine – a reasonable atmosphere and decent facilities in the away end.

I have just visited the Amex Stadium for the first time as an away fan at the Wolves game and would like to say how organised everything was. From the car park where the stewards organised a swift and orderly exit to the away refreshment areas which offered a very good choice of food and drink. The service was excellent and staff were extremely friendly and made you feel very welcome which is more than can be said for a lot of grounds!
The outside areas were also well laid out with staff on hand to answer any queries.
Finally, the ground inside is as impressive as it looks from outside. Padded seating is a luxury but as at most away games it was not used a great deal!
I would like to thank Brighton Football Club and staff for a memorable afternoon – although 3 points would have been a bonus..
Regards

The only positive surrounding the organisation for the Rod Stewart concert was the weather. But unlike the weather which was beyond any persons control, someone was in control for organising this event. There were seating changes because the stage was apparently larger than anticipated! Why would anyone start to sell tickets without knowing the position of the stage? But the worst was the exit strategy. Thousands of people were funnelled onto a ramp who at the top were then split by a few stewards to go either to the station or the university car park. This was to car parking which cost an extra £23. There was no signage to return to that car park and then what followed was ……… chaos. People waited in their cars over an hour to exit due to a jam. Who allows a stadium to be built without also creating the infrastructure to move the crowds? And who plans a concert without checking on this poor infrastructure? And who if they really wanted this venue with this poor infrastructure didn’t provide a traffic directing system? It was an organisational shambles with the only grace being the weather.
