Brighton's new ground at Falmer is looking absolutely awesome, three single tier stands with unique slope and a 3 tier stand that belongs in a world cup.

Thought this was going to be news about the CG. Not interested in Brightons new stadium I'm afraid.

Fair enough, why expend your energy replying then, just pass over it  ::)

and sad to see a football ground left to rot:

Fair point shady. Just got my hopes up with ambiguous thread title that's all.

Delivered there last week....they are struggling to make opening in May due to the bad weather.
Chalk...chalk everyware!

As you say looks brilliant though not as big as i thought it would be.

ok mate, no problems  :D

Does look good, but will they fill it?

 I know we've had our run ins with Brighton over the years, not least that best forgotten play-off night, but they've had a hell of a rough time this past two decades. Did they plan to open for the last couple of games this season then? Would be a heck of a baptism the way the Seasider's are flying!

No..think they have a prestige friendly lined up to open it.

Good point, reading one of their forums a fan suggested 20,000 easy if they got promoted and are playing in such salubrious surroundings, but i'm not so sure. Off to the HogsHead STFCinBournemouth, free voucher for a drink. Done a tour today, Wallisdown, Winton, Charminster, Boscombe and now Westbourne. Marston's pubs and their free drinks offer that was easily exploited  :beers:

Meh. Looks like a roofier Galpharm. Will be crap one third full.

Says here only 22,500. Looks much bigger. In all honesty, if they get promoted I can see them easily approaching full capacity in The Championship. Massive catchment in the Brighton and Hove, Shoreham and Worthing connurbation. Mind you, so is there in the South East Dorset urban agglomeration but look at the Cherry's average attendence.

Construction at the site officially started on 17 December 2008.fucking slow consruction, souless didnt take that long

Yep...but talking to a contractor with the amount of chalk they have dug out makes it a lot more difficult to clear away.....a lot more difficult than mud/clay.
Also the location .....they have had to be more strict with deliveries and working conditions etc.
How they ever got the go ahead to build there is beyond me.....stunning location.

"The stadium's drinking outlets will offer real ales from two local breweries, Harveys and Dark Star, both organisations having supported the club's appeal for a new stadium at Falmer, along with special guest beers from breweries local to the away teams"

This will please some but can't see it being very practical if on cask.

fair point leef, god you have an answer for everything, plus ive hammered the jd so cant be arsed :D

To be fair woolster....the Seagulls fans are fairly miffed how long it is taking.

That's fucking tragic. Even sadder to see that Scarborough Town, the revived club aren't now competing as following a couple of promotions they couldn't meet the ground requirements of the new league.
