Ive seen plenty of comments from supporters and their envy of the new stadium being built. Looks brilliant and will be a fantastic place for the Seagulls to call home after everything that has happened.

Nice comments but surprised at how many are dissapointed with their own stadium.

Have you ever been to Stokes ground? Truly bloody awful. Worst newish ground ever built in my humble opinion. And stuck on the coldest hill in the Potteries.

There stadium only cost 15m, puts in into perspective, we should be getting something special for 105m or whatever it is now :shock:

Thanks for posting the comments, does Arismendi still play for you lot?

The Britannia has a bit more character than a lot of modern stadiums... its just that the way it was built allows positively Arctic winds straight into the away end (I suspect this was deliberate).

I've never been to Stoke's 'new' ground but visited the old one a couple of times to watch the Seagulls (I think the last one we drew 2-2 and Wendy scored one of the goals or was it Nelson??). Anyway always been impressed with their fans - fantastic atmosphere and noise from the home support - if we can get something near that at The Amex it will be amazing.

Despite poor results up there, I enjoyed our visits to The Britannia and the way the Stokies all join in with a very loud 'ha ha ha ha' from Delilah when they score is very, very impressive indeed.

Stoke fans are very vocal. A lot of them seem to like us, maybe because they normally beat us.

I went to the Britannia once for an evening game, think it was the year we got relegated from the Championship.

We parked near a pub, and started walking towards the stadium which we could see lit up in the distance. One of our group decides he's spotted a shortcut across a field. It was pitch black, and it turned out to be VERY muddy. We struggled on though till we got to the other side of the field, caked in mud, only to be confronted with a large wire fence, far too tall to climb over. We ended up walking twice the distance just to follow the bloody fence round and back into civilisation (or whatever passes for civilisation in Stoke anyway). Just about made kickoff, freezing bloody cold, mud all over my trainers and trousers, and we got beat. Like Yeovil, one of those trips I sincerely wished I hadn't bothered with.
