Anyone halted their boycott of the Goldstone Retail Park since the Amex opened

[wilko1]

Whilst we have a sparkling new home at the Amex
Just can't bring myself to set foot on the hallowed ground in Old Shoreham Road
Sure I can live without Toys r Us etc

I appreciate age is a factor, and younger fans don't have the memory of the highs the lows and the total injustice perpetrated by Archer and Co.......... but for me nothing has changed

 

[Frutos]

Nope

 

[happypig]

Not me, never even driven past it

 

[Muzzy]

If you have kids then it's hard to stay away from Toys R us I'm afraid... And NO, I don't wanna use the one up the road either.

I always spit on the ground when I get out of the car though. Out of kids view of course.

Never forget eh?

 

[jackanada]

Never.

And Toys R Us is shit.

 

[forrest]

Never ever been back there are they started tearing it down. Only went to get some photo's of the old girl for memory sakes

 

[Silk]

We bought a sofa from DFS once. Weirdest experience of my life. Buying a sofa where Peter Ward once played. Never been back.

 

[Muzzy]

Never.

And Toys R Us is shit.

Not when you're a kid it's not!

 

[Lincoln Imp]

It's the easiest boycott in the world given the totally naff retailers on the site.

 

[Jack Straw]

It's a "No" from me.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Never driven, walked or bussed past and never will except to watch a demolition crew when they all go bust!

Had to park in Hove Park once and walked down to the lights without looking right.

 

[Mackenzie]

No. Never.

 

[blue2]

Once felt sick never again

 

[jackanada]

To Clarify: even if you are a kid Toys R Us is still shit.

Also: JJB Sports is shit. Comet is shit. DFS is really shit. Burger King is a bit shit, though I have had cause to regret my boycott when feeling peckish in the area.

I didn't go shopping there until Falmer was under construction. It's hard to imagine if we had stayed at the Goldstone because I don't think we would have ever got Falmer. I miss the Goldstone and funnily Withdean, had magic days at both Stadiums. It was for us guys it was a long wait but in the History of the club it was just a short space of time to wait for such a new exciting era for our club.

 

[Skaville]

As a parent I have been tempted by Toys R Us, but managed restraint. I did HAVE to go to Becks Peugeot once but I had a feeling they were there in the Goldstone days anyway. Am I kidding myself?

 

[BensGrandad]

I swore that I wouldn't go in there but once The Amex was open and knew we had a home I drove past there with pride

 

[beorhthelm]

yes, but it is easier when you dont need anything there. i was once pressed in to a trip to DFS, which i made on the condition it would have to be Tunbridge Wells branch. after being stuck in about 2 hours traffic around the trading estates, the suggestion was raised that we be allowed to go to the "Hove branch" (very diplomatic i thought) once Falmer is built. i believe i conceded that would be acceptable.

i never stepped foot in a F*cus either, traveling goodly mileage to nearest competitor.

 

[BensGrandad]

Never went into Focus all the time it was owned by Archer but did after the management buy out and he no longer got any money from it.

I won't shop there but the Mrs has got stuff for our kids before at Toys R Us. Last time she was there a manageress slammed the double doors from the store room in to my 21 month old knocking her over then failed to stop or give first aid. They eventually sent a £10 voucher and aplogised for the incident "in their Hayes store". Don't boycott because it's the Goldstone. Boycott because they're a shoddy bunch of Jeremy Hunts.
