Best 16 minutes of video that I have watched for a long time! I could feel Harty's emotions. I can't wait to get Christmas and New Year out of the way and then it's a few short months :amex:

Tch! You cheapskate Phil! So can anybody help Phil out and put it on youtube or something and then post a link here? Thanks. I'm sure he'll be grateful. I'd like to see it myself as well but of course I wouldn't DREAM of asking .......
 


Fantastic from Harty.

The train issue is going to be a huge problem at each and every game. Not sure what the capacity is for a 4 carriage train (the max size train they can use), but having seen that the late train put on back from Soton had a capacity of 300 I assume that is it. If so, and there are even just 5000 coming by train it'll be a helluva wait to get out. And I think that number is conservative. Could be a huge problem for night games, will there even be enough trains after a game to get everyone back to Brighton? Even with a great stadium, 99% of fans want to get away after a game. Think I'll avoid the train for the first few games...

The train back from Southampton was a little more than the advertised 300 places, I may be wrong but I think it was double that. The trains that will be running on the route to Falmer are going to be these:

British Rail Class 313 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They are three carriages long and seem to have a capacity of between 200-232, perhaps some posters who work on the railway might know the exact capacity of the train?

I'm not a corporate chap, but I don't think I'd get the value from subscribing to Seagulls Player for the few times I think I'd use it.
 












Back to the video, Richard Hebbard talks about general access, season ticket and 1901 Club areas in the West Stand. Are the general access and season ticket parts one in the same thing? The reason I ask this is that I was looking to try and get a season ticket in the West Stand on the lower tier and this seems to be for general access and 1901 Club only, with no mention of season tickets.

Great video - although I still worry worry worry. Isn't it big! Is it really going to be ready in time? Are we really going to fill it every week? I know the answers to all these question are yes, but it seems such a far cry from Withdean.

Are you people real? You can't afford 70 pence A WEEK? Some of that goes to the club, of course.
And you still regard yourselves as fans?

Personally i'd rather spend £3.99 a month on BEER, I've never wanted to watch a video on there until this one but like f*** am I playing £3.99 just to watch ONE video.

Aside from actually watching the team play, and all the various highs and lows over the years, it was quite simply the best 2 hours I have spent connected with the club in nearly 38 years supporting the Albion.

This stadium and the current management team will make the Albion the biggest club along the south coast bar none, Premiership football within 5 years of moving to the Amex? Don't bet against it......

PS Going to ask the club to put the video on free to all mode on website.

The pessimist in me clung to Hebberds words "we HOPE to be open for first game of the season" , Probably nothing in that though

Great work Harty, a true fan and not worthy of any stick you get / got on here

Just watched this- thought it was fantastic!
The train could be an issue but remember coming from some areas it wont be a simple train journey (personally I would have to change twice each way) so I think that there will be a lot of coaches/minibusses and park and ride.

Just remember most grounds don't even have a station more or less on site.

Things will settle after a couple of games. it's not like the ground is miles out of town.
