Having now been to The Amex 3 times as away supporters - Palace fans probably know the trip more than anyone else. So i would just like to congratulate BHAFC on a superb away set up.
In our three visits there the only piece of stupidity in terms of planning was on our 2nd visit when a box above the away fans was given to a bunch of morons who spent the game throwing thrings down at the fans below. But even that was picked up on and sorted for Monday night.
The view is great - the price is fair - as new grounds go there actually is an atmosphere. Inviting lots of away stewards and showing common sense to allow us to stand (unlike Forest away where the stewards treat it like a war) and a beer on Monday, despite all the silly scare stories was also very good crowd management.
I've been lucky enough to get a tour of your whole stadium and i hope that in ten years time we'll have a similar set up in Crystal Palace park. But having watched you fight the council for 15 years or so to get planning permission for Falmer, I won't hold my breath!
Thank you for making even the most unwelcome - feel welcome. Good job on the new ground!
