Brighton to replace and rebuild fan wall outside Amex - have your say

Brighton have announced the creation of a 'Fan Wall' to celebrate the club's 125th anniversary.

This fan mosaic allows supporters to upload photos to appear alongside club legends and is expected to be in place for the 2026-27 season. Profits made from the sale of space on the wall will go to the club's foundation.

However, the fact that it will replace the 'Heritage Tile Wall' that is on the outer North Concourse ramp walls at Amex Stadium is not universally popular within the Seagulls fanbase.

There is currently a petition on the website Change.org, titled 'Urge Brighton and Hove Albion to preserve Heritage Tiles', which has reached over 2,800 signatures as of Monday evening.

The petition - started by Brighton fan Terry Robinson - details reasons for wanting the club to reconsider this decision, including pointing to many of the tiles paying tribute to loved ones who have passed away.

However, in their announcement, the club have said many of the existing tiles need replacing after up to 15 years outside the stadium.

The club said: "We know that many of these bricks have sentimental value to fans and whilst it is unlikely that tiles can be 'saved' during removal we are intending to photograph the wall for digital posterity so that the brick in situ can still be viewed online.

"Appreciating that some of the tiles were only purchased relatively recently (after January 2023), we are planning to give these owners the opportunity of a free 'spot' on the 125 Fan Wall."
