Very interesting that Paul Hayward states........
The Falmer Stadium project was more perilously placed than many Brighton fans realised.
There is no doubt that without Tony Bloom we would have no stadium. No stadium, no long term future for our football club.
Thank you Tony Bloom.
As an aside, my Grandfather used to play Bridge with his Grandfather Harry - who was as most on here know a HUGE supporter of the club. This is not some multi millionaire come in who has never heard of the club - his Family have been involved with the Albion for a LONG, long time.
Yes, there will be questions to be answered, butIMO this is a FANTASTIC day for OUR club.
No Falmer - No Club
No Tony Bloom - No Falmer (certainly in the foreseeable future anyway)

I'm sure Bloom would be HORRIFIED at being described as "the Abramovich of League 1".
OK, his megabucks are funding our stadium, but I don't take that as meaning we have some kind of bottomless pit of transfer funds to buy our way out of this division. And I certainly hope the transfer fees we start to encounter this summer don't reflect a perception that we've just got money to piss away.

It's been re-written and now mentions that he's the league one abramovic because it's a massive interest free loan, and that the majority of the money is going to finance the stadium. It's as if he read your post...

Somehow I think the time when your mob were able to sort 35 players out - with a fat wedge of filthy lucre - have long-since gone.

We are actually ridiculously wealthy with 2 of our directors in the top 50 list, however they are running the club on a proper business model and have said time and again they wont throw money at things, those days have gone. As i have said in another thread nice one on sorting out the funding for falmer, but i would proceed with caution, one mans whim and all that.
The one good thing is we now dont need to sell our best players off on the cheap anymore.

Fair play to you. Call me old-fashioned, but it takes a while for me to forgive those gloating tossers - purporting to be Swindon supporters - who came on here when we lost at home to you & 'gave it the big one'. Admittedly, you weren't one of 'em - but the behaviour of a few & all that..

There: tricked by my devious female cunning! I knew you were one of the friggin' ungracious bastards!!
Actually, I'm willing to do a deal. I'll give you your solitary moment of joy regarding your rare (& jammy) win against us - if we don't have a repeat performance for another 14 years. You can't say Pharaoh than that.

Ok, ok, I'm on the case. I am gonna have to do an emergency shop though - just to get myself stylishly kitted-out for an hour's welding/weeding. Hey - nobody's gonna be able to say that I haven't made a significant contribution. Anybody know where I can get some Cackbadger Repellent? I've heard it's hell up there.

Or maybe he'd failed to prepare himself by reading the build up on NSC?
We KNOW where you get your stories, Nick.
Busted...
Given his username I doubt very much he's too happy at the prospect of someone who might be Jewish (I neither know nor care if he is) being in charge of our club.
