Why not visit the ticketing site and found out?

Have they considered a ground share with someone like gillingham?
Two points:
1) why do you answer the question that was already answered two hours ago?
2) when a point is being debated it usually helps to gather relevant information in the same place for ease of reference

I could see a joint owned/used facility at Withdean - permission granted for upgrade and use by BHA, with non-match days remaining as a council athletics facility, albeit with heavily upgraded facilities. Close to PP station, good public transport and road links.
Maybe that's why there was a removal of "Community" from the existing stadium's name? So it could be used for a shared community facility? Might be adding 2 + 2 together to make 5, though!

I answered it hadn’t seen the earlier reply.
If you feel all the information should be in one place why didn’t you visit the ticketing site and get it?

My son is at Brighton Uni, and proposed building a baseball field on the left half of that area, for the team that he is starting up this year.
He was told that they couldn't use that field as its been earmarked for university development. Make of that what you will - there could be something in the pipeline, or nothing at all.
Knowing the problems Albion have had before finding a site in B&H, what about jumpers for goalposts on Hove Lawns for the women's team?

That site looks a bit tight, width wise.

A joint council club renovation of Withdean would be great. I think the Brighton Uni site would superb though. A dedicated 6000 capacity stadium at the Uni next to the Amex would be perfect. For crowds of that size the transport links would be absolutely perfect. I'm glad this topic is being discussed at council level, let's see what the outcome is.

Not sure this thread has heard of the Me too generation. But it's 2023 and a bunch of middle aged men are discussing where to put the ladies. Could we ask a woman what she thinks on the subject?
I asked my wife and she said she couldn't give sh*t.

Here's the home crowds from last season. (a couple of games at the Amex)
Whilst not huge, Albion women have bigger attendances than Crawley Men.
Wonder what they will get for Spurs at the Amex on Sunday.
I was also surprised that Season Tickets are just £55 and £25 for kids.
but yep. going to Crawley is obviously a barrier and not great for the team (the signage, facilities).

The entire east lower has sold out and they have sold about 300 tickets in the north stand, so I'd guess sales are at around 6000. Could be looking at around 6500 by Sunday, which will be a new club record.

Not so sure. The width is about 100m ish.
A pitch is about 68m. 2 x 3m ish running tracks leaves about 23m for two stands.
Not huge, but a bit of careful planning could make a superb ground.
Interesting stuff.
They need to work out the minimum crowd level at which they will use the Amex - 6k? - and build it to that capacity. Then the higher crowd games could switch to the main ground.
Ideally, it could be on a site which one day could house a mega stadium to replace the Amex but that must be pipe-dreaming.

You might just be able to squeeze a very narrow stadium in there, if you knock down the club house and chop down a couple of trees. Most modern small stadiums seem to be about 120-140m wide, even wider if you consider the external concourses.

Yeah, but as I say, with clever planning it is surprising what can be done.
And if nowhere else is available it could be the only choice...
Agree Even in Brighton cant see gates much above £3k for league games. Cant see this justyfying sole use of a ground
Good luck with progress og Womens football but really cant see club building a purpose built stadium with these gates and tickets about £5 and STs about £55. Club now run free buses to Crawley.
Sharing with another club or facilitie surely will be only option.

Where do I cast my vote for knocking down the shit retail park, just south of Hove Park and building it there.
And oh, if we could get a mens game there, even if it were Carabao or pre season friendly ... there would not be a dry eye in the house
