Whats it like, I am thinking of going but was just wondering what the ground is like. I am sure someone on here has been there.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

It's alright. Standard run-of-the-mill new-age ground really. If you take a few up there you'll be able to make a bit of noise.
Whatever you do though, don't get a burger. I've been to over 40 grounds and can honestly say that was the worst burger I've ever had at any ground, anywhere.

Apparently they've got a very good sandwich bar though.

There's loads of burger vans and stuff outside the ground. Better to go to one of those I'd say.

Quite a way from the main station I think. We stayed up there all weekend (you must have seen the pictures). Cabs are fairly cheap I think.

I'm pretty sure the station, or at least a station is within a 10-15 minute walk from the ground. The ground itself is a soulless, breeze block modern temple to football. And their fans are quiet as anything aswell. I sat in with them last season, in the game that saw them promoted and they made absolutely no noise at all until the last ten minutes.
The away fans are tucked into a triangular bit on the corner so not behind the goal as normal.
The stewards are the most jobsworth I came across all last season, insisting that you sit in the seats that your ticket said. No getting together with friends when you arrive.
The stadium is bland and the Leicester fans don't make a lot of noise even when they won promotion whilst playing us.
Best bit of that particular day was Micky walking past the Leicester team to come and applaud the Brighton fans.
Look out for the remains of the old Filbert Street ground although the rest of it is probably flattened by now.
