Thinking ahead, does anyone know if the stadium can accommodate more than 30,750 should the need arise? Say Brighton go up next season, solidify a premier league position and become a top 10 team, then top 6 with European football. To build on this you need fans through the door. Just ask Liverpool how badly their match day income on 45,000 fans is compared with 76,000 at Old Trafford. Assuming, given the location that developing on the site wouldn't be a problem, but I didn't see anything in the plans that say they can increase on the north and south stands should they chose to?
Does anyone know if all of the extra seats will be season ticket seats or will some of the extras be available to non season ticket holders?
Errmmm, one step at a time eh? The ground certainly can't be expanded again without significant structural works ie either digging down or taking the roof off. It's not going to happen firstly because we'll never need it and secondly the costs would be astronomical for very little.
Martin Perry said today that there are 2,000 people on the season ticket waiting list and most of those want at least two.
It's one per each name on the waiting list
Nope, each person on the waiting list can have an additional 3 tickets, as well as their own, so 4 per fan number on the list basically. Why some of the latest people on the list may miss out.

Correct. It's the same deal Season ticket holders had last season. But the average per person was two tickets, that was what MP was trying to say!
Having said that, and having read the conditions that are attached to the planning permission (and the reasons for them), there are some really challenging issues still to be addressed, especially in relation to transport matters.
lord b could you post the main transport conditions ??
Sorry, could you type that out again please Lordi, explaining each point in more detail?
Thanks in anti cipation
