The stadium Expansion decision thread. Meeting 2pm today.

[seagullsfan97]

Great news! So what bits of the stadium are going to be done by August? The corners of the north and south or the east upper tier?

I assume the East Upper as they have already started selling season tickets there

 

[Birdie Boy]

I wonder where Martin's found the new P&R.

How about Marsh Barn or whatever it is called in Lancing where the new training ground will be. Surely there will be parking spaces there and perfect for getting to the Amex straight over the A27. I am wondering if this is why he didn't mention where as we don't have planning permission for the training ground yet.

 

[Captain Sensible]

And so it shall be......

It should look even better than that because the east upper tiers wrap around the corners.

 

[Marshy]

I could walk from there....!!!!

I will bloody join you.... sounds perfect

Stop in at the Wooly for one...then the sportsman....

 

[SeagullSongs]

5000 seats this summer - ESU, South West and South East.

500 before December - 1901 SW

2750 before start of 2013-14 season - NW, NE and 1901 NW

Sounds about right...

 

[Albion Robster]

Anyone know the reason why we don't want to/can't put all the corners in at once? Going to look a bit odd with just the north corners empty.

Yeah, good question Kev.
I want a ticket in the North-West corner...!!!

 

[Questions]

With cup games etc.. it's somewhere around 8500.

8285 but Jesus I need the breakdown on what were the most popular pies.

Far too far away.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

First list obviously has 1000 on it (which is being worked through now, might even be cleared now actually), 2nd list with 2,000 or so will get started after May 1st

Steak & Ale was 'by far the biggest seller'.

 

[c0lz]

Brilliant news and just gets better.

Good Shout

Far too far away.

not really as its all on the bypass.

 

[chucky1973]

Once complete the 21st biggest stadium in England excluding wembley!!

 

[Big Jim]

Wasn't there a worry (I can't remember from who) before the stadium was built that we wouldn't fill the business model of an average of 15,000 a game?

Now looking at this sort of expansion within a year. wow.

I hope I've got my facts right.

 

[Hungry Joe]

Steak & Ale was 'by far the biggest seller'.

Phew! Now I can really celebrate.

 

[crabface]

Cannot f***ing wait.

 

[The Large One]

not really as its all on the bypass.

It's 12 miles. That's a hell of a traipse.

My guess - without any evidence - is somewhere in Saltdean.

 

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

Hickstead?

Indeed. Did an interview with Melanie Cutress recently as part of my University Dissertation Project, and when talking about the expansion plans she mentioned that the club were hoping to set up a P&R at Hickstead for any fans coming from London and up North etc.
