The West Stand

[SeagullSongs]

Now that ALL of the seats are in, please join me in worshipping what may well be the most attractive stand at any football stadium in England, if not the world.

Silence is golden!

The new goldstone

That pciture is frankly, fcuking beautiful, and on its own is enough to completely bury 14 years, 3 months and 11 days of heartache.

Going for a cry in a dark room now.

That photo is the sex. Seriously.

Fantastic photo SS!

Just a shame I never see it in all its glory - as I'm sitting in it. Almost makes me wish I was an East Stander.

The East stand on Donny day was the greatest place in the world, to be.

One of the many things about the Cardiff game was how disappointing it was for a new stadium.

For a ground that opened only 2 years before Falmer, and to end up with this:-



when you take a look at what you could have had, you know you've been short changed.

I have a friend (yes - it's true) who sits in the East and tells me that when the West Stand gets going it's an amazing sound that rolls down and then over the pitch. Makes him go all goosebumpy.

He's not wrong.
For the Donny game, with all the flags, it was just too emotional to have all that, looking resplendent and it being 'ours', was overcoming.
In reverse I've friends in the West who obviously knew they were part of something special, but did have that marginally tempered because they knew they weren't getting the very best from the day.

Joining in with your laughter R & B ,there is far too much emphasis on the gates and the pretty ground on here and not enough on the football being played.A pretty stadium will not get the Albion promoted or keep us in this division, only a team with goal scoring forwards will do that and we are not spending enough money on them in my humble opinion.
Enjoy losing on the 17th then come down to the north stand concourse and i will buy you a pint

True. I've sampled the delights of the South but yet to venture into the East or North. The West is a beast of a stand yet is hard to appreciate when your in it.

Now really make us laugh R&B - put up a picture of the Arthur State Stand.

Did you know we can fit your entire average Palace home attendance in the West Stand?

 

[SeagullSongs]

Just my opinion!
Care to proffer a more attractive one?

 

[Gullys Cats]

Beautiful picture

That's got to be an old picture. No way is it as good as that now.
