Before the first competitive game at Falmer, does a walk from the Goldstone to Withdean to the new stadium, to represent and symbolise the history of the club, sound like a good idea?
Same sort of circumstances with my great nan who was 91, she had been a Brighton fan all her life she died in 2004, she always went on about living to see the new stadium, LDC cost her the chance.On a personal level - definitely.
My son and I also promised my father we would both do this; he died in 2003 believing that a new stadium at Falmer would never get approved.
I would but it would take about an hour, and thats 2 hills to walk over and I'll most probably be in the pub anyway!
That would need a left turn at Preston Circus , along London Road to Withers with a backtrack to walk up Preston Drove and over to Lewes Road. With the gradients involved this could be a 3 hours + walk for the not so fit.You haven't gone via Withdean there.

Nah, walk up Woodruffe Avenue, cross Dyke Road, along Withdean Road, and down the hill to the stadium.
From the stadium, go up Peacock Lane, along Surrenden Road, over Ditchling Road and either cut across the golf course and Wild Park to Lewes Road, or walk up Ditchling Road to Old Boat Corner and walk down Coldean Lane.

I'd be up for that. So long as it's not via Gillingham too.
Bollocks to that.
I intend turning up as early as possible at the staduim for a good old nose around, before propping up the supporters bar for an hour or two before kickoff. I don't want to arrive in a sweating, wheezing mess before the first game.
