I am a bit sceptical about that newspaper report saying that the houses that need to be demolished will need to be CPOed. The timelines aren't realistic if so for a start. Also I think they'd need to demonstrate the development is in the public interest to have a chance of a CPO being granted...

If they don't already own the properties that need to be demolished, or have not come to an agreement to buy them then the plan to start work before the end of 2018 doesn't seem realistic. CPOs aren't easy to come by. Also, I must surely be wrong, but it does look like they are planning to add...

2000 of which look like they may be uncovered if you watch the video to about 1:30 in.

Look like they are also planning to add around 2000 (uncovered as far as I can tell) seats in the corner between Arthur Wait and Holmesdale Road stands.

Looks decent, but it does gloss over that the Arthur Waite and Whitehorse Lane stands are not going to change much. They probably didn't have much choice at the time, but selling off the land behind the Whitehorse Lane stand in the 80s really restricts what they can do there. Looks like they...

Poppycock! You are being paranoid. No chance this will be decided by a controversial penalty to Arsenal in added time again... Oh!!!!

Why do you think he persists with Lindelof instead of say giving Tuanzebe a chance?

I suspect the downside of having a separate agency to handle the licencing of new drugs will be felt in a few years. The approach pharmaceutical companies take when filing new drugs with regulatory agencies is commercially driven. The US and EU are the largest markets and hence they are always...

Out of interest, how busy are the 49s with supporters? I've always assumed the nearest stop (Bolney Road?) was slightly too far away to tempt people.

You are the second person to mention this. So extending the 5 to the universities on match days (5B is it?) might be a popular move. I suppose the club might be disinclined to ask B&H buses do this if they thought it would add to their already huge travel expenditure, but of course some people...

I say, is this actually the case? I was aware they had a lottery grant to fund the latest works, but having consulted Google I cannot find anything to suggest they received £1.85m from the council. Can you confirm this is accurate? Not saying it's not, I just can't find anything to suggest this...

I presume the list of supporters living within 10 miles is from Falmer, not Brighton. It comes from a document submitted with one of the stadium planning applications and I think it was part of a transport assessment, so Falmer seems more likely to me. Kind of wish I hadn't posted it now though...

Thanks for the feedback. So if the club improved the number and quality of cycle storage spaces it might actually be worthwhile. Funnily enough I had a look at the bike hire website earlier. There are only 20 racks on the University of Sussex campus and 13 on the University of Brighton at...

Presumably more the 10 miles away! Here is the full database broken down by postcode (2013):

From 2013: So around 1/3 live in BN1/BN2/BN3

Well, yeah, that's what I was trying to say, but having reread my original post I can see how it might be construed I was suggesting getting most people to walk or cycle, which is clearly not possible. I don't know how many currently cycle, but I'd hazard a guess at 100-200 per match. Increasing...

Probably less than you might imagine. There are some innovative solutions around. e.g. http://www.southernrailway.com/southern/news/news-archive/2011/01/hove-station-gets-double-deck-cycle-parking/ I think there's plenty of space dotted about the Amex where more cycle storage could go if...

Ok, well, I am not really sure why having an objective of increasing the number of people coming to the Amex using efficient, healthy, sustainable means that saves the club money and frees up capacity on other modes of transport is “bonkers” and I guess I’ll never know as you can’t be bothered...

No problem. I think replacing the 313s with 707s would be great with or without toilets as it would make getting to and from the Amex much easier for everyone. But for everyday use toilets would definitely be preferable.

I don't think it's an issue for travel to the Amex which generally involves short trips on trains so packed that even if a toilet is available it's difficult to get to. Problem is Southern use the 313's for longer journeys e.g. Portsmouth Harbour. When the 313s are finally replaced I think there...
