For all those with Seagulls World, Harty has done a stadium visit/tour with the stadium operations manager. Well worth a look.....quite emotional scenes.

I agree, great video. I thought Harty was going to cry whilst sitting in the west stand!
Fantastic video.
But can't see people wanting to wait around at the stadium for 45 minutes after the match to get some food or drink before getting in a queue for the train. Especially not if you consider the amount of people who leave early to beat the queue's at Withdean.
Wow, I was not expecting to get that emotional watching an internet video of a half-built stadium. Quite stunning stuff, it is absolutely beyond doubt I will be absolute an emotional mess come August 6th 2011.
same here, whenever I first walk upto the stadium for that first match I guarantee I will shed a tear or 500!
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...
It quite simple really. Why cant they add another 3 to 4 carriages and ensure that if you are the first ones on you start moving towards the back of the train. They just need stewards on each carriage to make sure this is done. They could potentially double the capacity for trains going back to Brighton. I don't think trains going back to Lewes will be that much of a problem.
