OK forget the suits. How many managers does it take to run Brighton & Hove Albion, The Amex and the training ground? And I mean people who wear smart clothing rather than the day to day workers who clean, serve or prepare food, run the shop, man reception desks.

My brother in law works in offices in the AMEX and he works for the University. Presumably they rent out office space. He has to vacate the office early on match days.

I remember the good times said:
How many people work at the Amex, and what on earth do they all do?

I would imagine it's a bit like this, loads of oompa loompas running around behind the scenes

Too many lanyard-strutters for my liking. Act like they OWN the place. Whereas in reality they owe their employment 100% to the fans they increasingly treat as some form of ferals.

Ah well, the ferals only fought for the right of the club to continue to exist. Not to have any say over what it would become. Though might be in the club's best interests to keep the ferals onside. Cos they'll need them on the way down, when the lanyards have deserted the ship earlydoors.

He is right though X 2.

He's moaning about the 1901ers, who strut about after the match, and on the station, still wearing their lanyards.

The only person I think I've ever seen at the training ground in a suit is Paul Barber, and that was only once.

So the gist of this thread, and some of the posts, is that there seems to be resentment to people who wear 3-piece suits, who use a suite with a 3-piece suite which looks sweet and suits the suits that sit in the suite, and with a lanyard to boot to suit.

I have two lanyards, it makes me feel so special. :rock:

Ps neither are 1901!

Sussex Uni's marketing and events teams are based there but usually wear smart casual clothes if that helps :lolol:

What on earth are you ranting about? The OP is talking about people at the Amex during the week, which he has mistaken for Amex workers, instead of people using the lounges/offices for conference/meetings.

Umm...he did talk about the Forest beam back which was on ..erm a Saturday :shrug:

The guy who sits a few seats over from me wears a lanyard with his season ticket proudly displayed, I'm in WSL

Very true...but your post to THPP referred to the OP?

I don't know who they are or what they do, as long as they keep doing for the rest of the season whatever they have been doing up to now !

Seems to be suit fascism to me. I'm really not sure why people show such venom towards people that wear a suit for work.

I wear a suit to work every day, top button done up, tie properly tied, and I've been to the Amex for business meetings. I don't wear a suit when I go to watch football, though I do have a lanyard, which I put on when I go into the ground, and remove when I leave the ground.

Weststander · Mar 15, 2017

The club's accounts disclosed that they have 81 management and admin staff (NOT involved in football operations).

That's a lot of suits, so perhaps the OP wasn't mistaken.

Would they not be part of the business community and be using the Amex for meetings and are not part of the Amex staff but outside business people just using the rooms.

Hope as well as suits trust they were wearing ties, tie clips and cuff links

It's all part of maximising the earnings from the stadium. Getting ready for the PL

You know the saying, never trust a man in a suit.
