I can report that the Steak and Ale pies are delicious, full of meat with firm pastry, well seasoned, and served in a nice box with Seagulls logo. Oh and the Harveys was decent too
wasn't so keen myself, too much rosemary going on!

Amazing! Felt like going to an away game and still can't believe it's ours. The seats are amazing - you can see why they're the VIP ones at the Olympic stadium. Really comfortable and padded. The depth of the West Stand is incredible and the whole stadium seemed bigger and deeper than I thought. The Pies were bloody brilliant - i don't think you'll find a better pie anywhere - and a pie and pint deal for £6-50 isn't too shabby. The roof structure is amazing and walking round the outside of the ground shows just how curvy and brilliantly built the Amex is. The one thing I really noticed was how echoey it was up there - they really did take note from the accoustic specialists! The atmo will be quality I'm certain of that!
Only few grumbles / ways to improve is that the West Upper is REALLY dusty and geta all over you and hits the throat a tad (We are row A so did have the wall right in front of us). I hope they get the water cannons on it or something... Also the entrances and flights of stairs could do with some logos or wall decor perhaps. Also i hope they do finish some of the cladding and bit above the East Stand out to make it look less untidy. A roof in the concourse would have been good rather than seeing all the electricals etc but i'm just being a bit picky there and that certainly isn't a major issue. These are just minor things i noticed and please don't think i'm not made up and grateful with the magnificent stadium we have.

Did they let people use the lifts? I can imagine some of the more 'elderly' people would struggle to get up there.

I thought it was the opposite. They are service lifts so wont be used on match days
The steward offered to let me use the lift today as Im on crutches

How did the north and south stand look from inside the ground? Did they look small still and out of place?

Bit off topic, but anyone who went last night know if you can pay for food/drinks etc on debit card or is it cash only?

Actually, they look decent, the goals make them look pretty big.

Yes you can but they haven't quite mastered PDQ machines yet.
