Looks absolutely class, to be honest. Will hopefully be making the trip down when Wolves play Brighton, looks like it shalln't be a wasted trip!

I really enjoy visiting the thread to view the latest updates.

I truly believe this is one of the top 10 best stadiums in the UK... especially now.

8/9 best stadium in the UK imo, depends if centre court counts as a stadium - it does right?

I loved this stadium when it was built and I love it even more now.

Thinking back to a few seasons ago when they were languishing down the league playing in the s**thole that was the Withdean.

Massive hats off to Tony Bloom

I dont think it looks bad at all, certainly prefer it to the wolves and rotherham disabled areas.

The render we had before the build was pretty accurate. Seems like the only visible difference is that they haven't yet brought the seagull across in the lower tier.

@BHA Snappy

East Stand




North Stand created a banner in the preseason for the empty wall behind their stand


Really happy about how the developments have turned out. The posh seats above the South Stand will be done by December, and the North Stand corners will be done in time for the 2013-14 season.

The plan has changed - they are doing the North Stand corners during this season.

The Amex is very much a building site at the moment, but in the flesh it is all coming together very nicely indeed, although I noted that South East corner of the lower tier still has a few seats to go in despite being one of the sections opened last night - fortunately Wrexham... erm, Cardiff only bought 700 fans with them.

P.S. the banner is from part of the original lyrics to Sussex by the Sea if you hadn't already guessed.
