waterhall! what about park football? WE MUST FIGHT THIS

 

[Adopted Brightonian]

Does this mean I won't be able to spy on the players at the gym anymore?

This is almost as important as The Amex IMO. Brilliant news and let's hope we can meet the target date.

This is excellent. Bloom's cash is turning us into a club with better facilities than clubs like Norwich moreorless overnight.

And a nice big wave to Portsmouth FC, now definitely NOT one of the biggest two clubs in the south.

I would absolutey agree with this. Having a stadium good enough for the Premier League isn't enough if our training facilities are league 2 standard. Well done, and good luck, to all involved in the project.

I bloody love Tony Bloom. We are incredibly lucky to have him.

This is excellent news and shows Tony Blooms ambitions for the club. Perhaps we'll be a second level toure de force in the Prem one day in the mould of clubs such as Everton or Villa, who knows, but I am sure TB has some kind of vision.

One question mark is Shoreham Airport? The surrounding area is just marshland is it not?

:albion1: Big Tony is a god.

Another way to attract good players too. TB = Albion Legend

Which thickets STILL think Tony only has about £200m?

 

[The Grockle]

Don't retire your step ladder just yet Jack Straw!

Excellent news!
