Sometimes it is a bit strange doing the Goldstone v Amex thing as the Goldstone was our home for many a year, so people have far more memories from those days and they are often rose tinted etc. Such as, I am sure people forget the fact that the facilities where third world at best and it was a crumbling wreck, but yes some great nights and matches were played there. Overtime The Amex will have the same affection for a lot of people as the Goldstone does for most of us.
Does the feeling of the Donnie game get any better? the pre match atmosphere, the flags waving, two great goals etc.
I first went to the Goldstone in 1979, so mid way through our purple patch as a side on the up then through the mid 80's during some of the most dire experiences known to man so it has some great memories and some simply shocking ones. People moan about the transport links to the Amex, but they are not that bad if you consider trying to move 25,000 in and out quickly and efficiently. Have you tried leaving Wembley when there is 80,000 there!!!!! They have a bigger fire drill than the Amex
I loved the Goldstone for what it was and miss it, but I feel the Amex is better for the all round experience and over time it will create its' own history and has the History Channels say "its' making history everyday".
