nice ground though, they will fill it. Brighton could potentially be a big club. Similar sized city to Southampton with a huge catchment area. I think they'll get crowds bigger than Pompeys, now that would be funny, the third biggest South coast club.

saints on in a mo...this programme also shows what poor standard the refs are at....

 

another point...brightons ground cost £93m and will have a capacity of 22.5k....WTF

 

It was because they had to remove all the chalk to fit it in. Their owner paid for it anyway so it doesn't really matter.

It's supposed to be built to a very high spec, St Mary's is very much a budget job.

 

If they go up they will fill it easy IMO. Plenty of people with money who want to watch young men run around in shorts down there.

 

I'm a bit underwhelmed by Brighton's stadium. It's only a small capacity and it seems the only aesthetic bit of design is the curved roof. Inside there's a lack of symmetry and each end behind the goal is reminiscent of the old Milton Road end. Add in the fact that it's miles out of town and, even at 22k will probably be rarely full, and I think it's have a bit of a lack of atmosphere.

 

As samey and flatpack as our stadium is, I'd much rather have St Mary's than Falmer.

im not sure i heard this right. can any here confirm?

 

but im sure i heard them say brightons new ground was going to cost 93M and have 22,500 seats

 

You're right; one of the best stadia in the division, no doubt.

But I expect they'll build a treatment room soon...

I think the lack of symmetry is because they can extend one of the stands in the future. It's only just on the edge of town, surrounded by 2 university campuses as well, which should bring in a couple more punters on top of the hardcore ones. Despite it being further out of town its easier to get to than the Withdean by public transport. Not sure about the atmosphere, I've been to Brighton games home and away with some of my Seagull supporting mates and they're very quiet at home.
