Believe me, Crabbers - I have no problem lambasting Perseus.

Even though I've been campaining for Falmer I have only done so on the notion that the club says its the only site and that there is no other, yes I have followed blindly like a sheep, mainly because I just want us to get a stadium...which could be a bad thing as has been stated by Southampton & Pompey who both followed ideals that their site was "the best" and they both end up going elsewhere (Pompey still pending but it counts for Southampton)
perseus said:To reply to Crabtree:
Pende is approx. 6.4 miles as the seagull flies from Brighton Pavilion.
The site is 120 acres in the main area. If this is not enough, their is limited room for expansion.
A railway station would not be built unless passengers of 250,000 a year were expected.
A larger stadium is not only possible, but desirable. (The stadium could be refused because at 22,500 it could be considered too small.)
Hadlee said:This is a fasinating thread, have read it with great interest but it is now too late for us to suggest any other sites, if Pende was that good why was it not looked at back in 1999 when the original survey took place of all potential sites for the new Stadium and Falmer came out as the best available site.
I suspect Pende was not considered because it was in WSCC, and anyway I cannot see WSCC giving planning permission even if the Club did submit a planning application !
CrabtreeBHA said:Whats to say in 15years here on NSC we have threads moaning about the fact that we cant expand Falmer and have to play Arsenal at home with 22,000 instead of the 44,000 we could've sold! (presuming we get Falmer that is)
CrabtreeBHA said:
I want to know first hand from the club why they turned down Pende in the first place & what those implications are like now (presuming they turned it down years ago).

CrabtreeBHA said:Dave, I asked a legitimate question that I want to know the answer too....It certainly did'nt warrant a response like yours.
