Lots of nice pics, Martin Perry went through all the various parts of the infrastructure and stages before construction. 6 planning applications in relation to the build that will get us all letter writing again.

For STH an oppurtunity for a 'hard hat' day to walk around the stadium on a tour and decide where you want your seat!

Thought it was very informative and showed the step by step processes involved and all the backgorund work.

For instance the club are using three different solicitors for different aspects and all the agreements required with sussex Uni, construction etc.

Not withstanding PriceWaterhouseCooper appointed to actually put together a package for the banks to bid to offer finance !

There was an issue I was going to raise but didn't as some questions were getting anal regarding Southern Railway as they are consulting with them - basically was it legally binding on trains etc as the franchise is up for renewal in 2009.

Oh and at the last count 16 lifts and no escalators.

Good turnout tonight. I think they only expected beween 250-500. I reckon best part of a thousand there.

Some nice computer generated images that showed the inside of he ground and views as you approach it. Hopefully these will be put on the main website in high resolution so we can download them for our screensavers Mr Insider?

Would have liked to have heard a bit more detail on what facilities are actually going to be in the stands like bars, catering, jumbotron screens, etc but I guess this will come later. Only real downer was hearing of the six new planning applications required. The good news is that Falmer Parish Council are working with the club positively, and the Universities are showing a healthy interest in the project, Brighton Uni is starting work on its new buildings in the next few weeks.

Might be an idea to merge the multiple Falmer Roadshow threads into one definitive thread

I actually thought the ground was a 100 year mortgage but what do I know ?

HARSH!
So, if you really hated your kids you could rather nicely 'string 'em up'
