We will be relegated - Forget falmer!

[Rodfox]

We will be relegated this season, as knight has no intention of dumping adams. From tomorrow, we are in the mire if Yeovil win.

What is the point in spending tens of millions of pounds we don't have, to build a 25,000 odd stadium, when we struggle to get gates of 5-6000. We are deluding ourselves if we think we are a large club.

We currently have capacity for around 7000, yet we cannot even fill that. Where does knight and perry think the 18,000 supporters will suddenly turn up from. The whole thing will become a millstone around our necks as it has for clubs like Darlington.

A lot of people seem to live with their heads buried in the sand, living off the back of that game against Man Utd. Wake up people we are 5 places from the basement league.

I went to Gillingham, all those years ago, watching with a couple of thousand other people.

Ground sharing with Lewes is nearer the mark with the currently state of play.

It's millstone, not milestone. But away from pedantry, you do make some good if very gloomy points.

However, it's NOT F**KING ROCKET SCIENCE. A decent stadium AND more sensible pricing, and only together with a joined-up marketing/promotion strategy, and you just might get the crowds up to about 10-12,000 if we're no lower than League One, and then maybe kick on from there with a decent team in the Championship.

But I am in absolutely no doubt that the whole emphasis in the drive for Falmer fans has now got to have the tone of a total rebirth of the Albion, a new experience, new start, almost a new club. Withdean has seriously tainted the club's image, and to get those fan numbers you have to pretty much airbrush it out of history. For a lot of fans a shite stadium with exorbitant prices has seriously put them off following the Albion.

Clubs like Reading only used to get a few thousand to games in the lower leagues until they got their stadium.
Falmer is the promised land we have been waiting on for years to get this club moving.
Give up on Falmer and we may as well close the whole club down and walk away now

From tomorrow, we are in the mire if Yeovil win.

But if they don't, and Carlisle lose by more than 2 at Crewe, we'll actually go up a place to 19th!

The anticipated average is nowhere near the projected stadium capacity.

Ground sharing with Lewes is nearer the mark with the currently state of play.

A possibility, but only at Withdean.

Nothing to do with playing well and getting into the premeirship then?

Reading ground was opened in August 1998 and they were in this league (Div 2 as it was then) , then got promoted to Championship (Div 1) and then into Premier 2006. Speaks for itself, the ground got them the spending power to go places

Back to you

Hull City, Stoke City......

 

[pasty]

Huddersfield, Doncaster Rovers, Swansea..... back to you

 

[Nottseagull]

Huddersfield, Doncaster Rovers, Swansea..... back to you

Aren't Donny and Swansea playing in higher divisions since they changed grounds? Recently? Give 'em some time!

 

[Eastleigh Northstander]

Huddersfield, Doncaster Rovers, Swansea..... back to you

Yeah, your point is?? Donny and Swansea have both pushed on from this league, both grounds quite new still. Swanse only 3 points outside the play off for Premiership

 

[Eastleigh Northstander]

Huddersfield, Doncaster Rovers, Swansea..... back to you

And you still didnt answer the question of Stoke, Hull and Reading, was it just coincedence they went places after a ground move?

 

[pasty]

Yeah, your point is??

Don't know really. I'm in a f***ing miserable bastard mood after tonights shambles and feel like disagreeing with anyone. Sorry.
