Maybe the delay is not down to building times, but how long it will take the team to reach the championship

Thank you Lord B, I shall sleep well tonight!!
And many, many congratulations Dick/Martin for securing funding in this almost impossible financial market. Dont know how you got it by the banking risk assessors, with such a tight planning use and diddly squat alternative use vale, but hats off to you both.

Shambles - good to see the club persuaded the Argus to put a positive headline out, after the slap on the wrists the other week....
Is Delluded 433 still claiming it'll be built by August 2010, for sure?

How is it a shambles ?
Sure it's not ideal, but the club have appointed a contractor, started on site and clearly have the funding sorted. Which in the current financial climate has to be applauded.
You just f***ing moan about everything.

agreed - im suprised the argus have been so generous with their reporting of this as well, especially given the fact that they only ever "stir up trouble"

I'm a bit worried that yer actual people hired to do the construction at Falmer will jump ship for the unlimited overtime jobs that will doubtless be on offer to build multiple stadiums for the Olympics, and that there won't be enough of a skilled workforce available to complete the Falmer job on time.

I guess this means FDM will have his testimonial at Withdean. 
The club must not continue issuing unrealistic completion dates, announcement dates and so on. These obstacles do not spring up overnight.

At the Falmer forum you left with a sense there were an awful lot of potential problems and delays. When I left I had prepared myself for the possibility 2010 was a little optimistic to say the least.
While the news is dissapointing for many when the dust has settled and the work starts the mood will start swinging that actually today we have moved a large step closer to reality of it being built.
Its hard to believe we still have a club after all the years of objections and turmoil yet we have a stable platform to move into a cracking new stadium and put Brighton back where they should be.
An additonal season at Withdean whilst frustrating is a small price to pay for what is a very promising future for the club

You must be delighted by this latest news. Could you do us all a favour and chuck away your Voodoo Doll of Dick Knight?

Just admit it Deb. You'd absolutely LOVE the whole stadium plan to fall on its arse and get completely cancelled, bankrupting the club in the process, just so you could come on here, RIP into the club and slag off Knight.
Be honest - thats your dream isn't it.

Indeed, august 2010 was optimistic to say the least. There are always delays on big projects and I'm sure there will be more to come. 2011 will give us some more leeway with extra delays that will surely happen.
The only thing that I can see the club doing wrong here is not being realistic about the timescale, so why all the vitriol? We all know why this process has taken 10 years, anyone is welcome to point out any decision in the last decade which has slowed the project down, but I certainly can't thnk of any.
As far as I can see, the team is going as quick as they can, working within the planning process and all the constraints and regulations that it entails.
