The Italian deputy PM has mentioned Brighton as being a good example to follow :amex: : http://www.ilgiorno.it/milano/cronaca/2013/11/18/983955-legge-stadi-alfano.shtml

Milan, 18 November 2013 - Alfano is present in the Football League on Monday morning to talk about stadiums and security of the fans during the match. Discuss with the presidents and club leaders to find a common thread with the companies in Serie A and then a solution to a problem that threatens to lose appeale to Italian football. "I'm here to reiterate a hard line against violent criminals. We must continue on this path. now we will also discuss the construction of new stadiums , have become places where you can spend a Sunday in the family, also suitable for other events. Now we have a team of state and clubs to build stadiums on the English model , and also architecturally improve the city. "
The Vice-Chairman of the Board cited as a model of new sports facilities in Italy to create the stadium of Brighton & Hove Albion FC Stadium The AMEX (American Express Community Stadium) or also called "Falmer" for the area in which it stands, is a stadium located in Brighton, England . It is owned by the football club of Brighton and contains 27,350 seats . The plant was completed in the summer of 2011 after 2 years of construction. Costing about € 110 million , is one of the sports most advanced in existence.
The chairman Tony Bloom had promised a new stadium after detecting the team and returning it in the higher classes. The club has gone from Serie C with an average of 7500 spectators, the English Premier League with an average of 26,000 fans. A figure higher than the average of spectators who went to watch the matches of Serie A. The stadium of Brighton has only 200 parking spaces, but those bikes are for 500, because you get the bike path.
After the meeting with the presidents of the clubs Angelino Alfano commented on the meeting: "It was not a conference, but a concrete commitment. Tomorrow the government will table an amendment regarding the sporting venues. A revolution on three points: the possibility of invest private capital , cut the red tape that will allow for easier use of private capital, opening of new sports facilities in commercial activities . We aim to a philosophy of quality construction that host families for days. propose aspects of cultural and leisure . Going to the stadium will be like going to the theater. intend to modernize the sports infrastructure by mobilizing private capital. " So Alfano said today's meeting in League Football, then he explained specifically certain aspects.
SAFETY - "From the time of Raciti things have improved and now we have to make sure that it matches the security to higher participation. We decided to set up a task force between the government and the League (League members will be reported in the coming days and meet early in the Interior Ministry.) How to ensure greater participation? With the creation of telematics coupons (smartphones, internet). then we will work to maintain the strengths and eliminate the defects of the work of stewart. Moreover we want to segment the stands, making sure that those who want to attend the game can do it peacefully without being disturbed by those who want to be ruffian "
MERCHANDISING - "We signed an agreement with the League and the Government to stop the counterfeit merchandising materials of the club. Football club will return to the revenue share they are deprived of legal"
RACISM-"It's one of the issues we faced. It will be our job to stop him. Racism is like drugs, but also the surroundings at the stadium that remain in the hands of drug dealers must be eliminated. If companies are the owners of the stadiums, it is up ensure the safety of the club. currently are in the hands of municipalities that do not have the means to ensure control "
EPISODE NOCERINA - "That episode is not to be underestimated, but it is to say that such facts are decreasing."
FAN OF THE CARD - "I come from the League also a document to improve this aspect. They highlighted the positives and negatives, we will see how to improve."
THOHIR AND FOREIGN CAPITAL - "The brand is Italian. Foreign investors administer a good Italian, but it is globalization and we can not subtract"

Did they write this before the play-offs?

They also got an out of date capacity figure, but it doesn't negate to overall gist of the piece, not that HKFC's pointed out inaccuracy did particularly either.

Good to see we've done something recognised elsewhere as good.
