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. http://www.countdown2falmer.co.uk/jan11.php |

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

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  http://www.marstonsoffers.co.uk/offers-pub-search/bournemouth/Offer at top of page |

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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falmer_Stadium |

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. |
