The original stadium plans, the ones for the one at Toads Hole Valley. Or was it Waterhall? I cant remember now.

Thanks

Is this the one Bellotti rustled up over a weekend and passed off as being pretty well nailed on in the follwoing weeks match programme?

No I think it was before then. It was a 'four big identical stands' kind of ground.

I remember seeing a model of it at a Junior Seagulls open day, might have been 92 or 93, pretty sure it had four sides. Sorry that doesn't help you much.

Silly question, but how many do you think it would hold...if they filled in the corners!

No disabled parking issues with that stadium though

I dont think that would have been the worst stadium in the world, infact, if it was ever acctually more realistic than a scribble on a napkin I would bet that the majority of people on here would be backing it.

It is obviously no-way near the same league as the Amex.

It was on the back of a fag packet, when I saw the so-called planning application.

ha!
yes i remember 4 roundabouts,1 at each corner of the ground,a stadium in the middle,think it's in a old programme somewhere but was truly awful,come to think about it as a smoker i would take quite an offence to see it on a packet.
