A lot of people obviously couldn't be bothered.

Even more so when you think many people probably sent multiple letters signed by family members and imaginery friends.


Significantly more people could be bothered when it came to applying for Grimsby tickets.

I wonder what your problem is. You must be far too young to remmeber 30000 plus crowds we used to get at The Goldstone.

If it is a joke then I cannot see the funny side.

There was also a 60,000 signature petition.

A letter takes a lot more effort to write and as someone pointed out, for every letter there is roughly ten people who feel the same way but didn't put pen to paper.

Well they should have done.

If people can't take the time to write a letter that may help the club survive..............GRRR

Look at Reading - 4,000 at Elm Park (generally) now at the Egoist Wig Wearing stadium between 12,000 to 16,000.

This club is potentially much bigger than Reading and had three times the crowd when we had equivalent stadiums.

I think it's hardly worth responding to this sort of nonsense. But here we go (again) ...

Inevitably with a project as big as Falmer, the Club's finances have come under close scrutiny by independent assessors.

The Business Plan has stood up to that scrutiny. Falmer is viable. We will need crowds of about 12-14,000 to pay for the construction costs and start turning in a profit.

It won't be necessary to "fill Falmer week in week out". The stadium will have capacity for about 50% more than the break-even level that is needed. Big crowds will generate funds for players.

When the Club progresses to the First Division and we are at Falmer, there will be scope for further growth, based upon income exceeding running costs.

What more do you want?

and doing nothing is a complete no risk option?. Pillock!

This is al about the future, not about the present. If it was about here and now then we would still be stuck at Gillingham saying how great it was to groundshare

The club will not be sole owners of the stadium,
The stadium is a community stadium and it will be used for other things.
I have kept it simple for you to work out.:dunce: :dunce: :dunce:
