Falmer Funding

[desprateseagull]

how come the club wasnt on to the proposed backers, as soon as the last appeal expired, asking for their wonga ?

surely money would surely have to be earmarked for such an investment before any appeals/enquiries etc started, and no doubt is earning a few ££ in interest by now, with all the delays..

with a downturn in the economy, doesn't that create a surplus of labour, and reduced supply costs- offestting any lower value of the completed project..

bigger stadiums have been built in less time.

or is there something else thats giving them cold feet?

 

[Spider]

cant we just build it now

why wait till decemeber

it doesnt take that long to find funding then we can get building

I think you've just solved it! I'm glad there are experts on NSC to figure these things out!

 

[Cian]

I don't particularly mind if it gets delayed, I just want some evidence it is going to happen, and that means the first digger arriving at the field.

First digger to first game can take a very long time, just ask Shamrock Rovers. Planning there was granted in 1998 and they're still not playing there.

Did I not read somewhere, possibly on here, that we must have started the building of the stadium by December 2008, ie the first bit of ground work, digger moving in and removing soil, must have been started by then if not we have to re-apply. I may well be mistaken but I am sure that something tells me in the back of my mind that I read that.

Exactly, I cant help think the weather is going to play a massive part. We need more global warming, stop any heavy rain or snowfall over the winter months, otherwise we could have some serious delays on our hands.

20 months from start to finish seems very ambitious, but fair play if they pull it off

working on chalk, weather shouldnt pose too many problems unless its torrential downpours. as for the time scale, yes it is short but buildings go up like lego kits nowadays

Don't know where you've heard this but it's incorrect. Secretary of State's letter dated 23rd July 2007; Annex A (ie the approval for Falmer) states:

"1. The development for which permission is hereby granted must be commenced within five years from the date of this permission."

Which is standard building regs. The same would apply if you wanted an extension on your home.

A lot of people getting in a flap and speculating about something that they actually have no knowledge on, apart from reading a few articles on different websites.

We've waited 10 years a few more months isn't going to make a huge difference.

Keep the faith!

MK Dons stadium went up in 14 months and is bigger than ours

 

[We're the Stripes]

MK Dons stadium went up in 14 months and is bigger than ours

Is it? I thought it was 22,000 capacity.

 

[Gazwag]

I saw it on the news last week reported by those fat ugly pair who think they are funny, both so obviously Gillingham fans from past reports, both without a clue about Brighton, complete non story.

 

[steward 433]

Is it? I thought it was 22,000 capacity.

Yes at the moment it is but thats only because they are not using two tiers.

The ground is actually built to hold 32,000 when they put the other seats in the top tiers

stadium:mk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Timbo]

As somebody who thinks that the stadium is unlikely to be built on time/in budget/by Martin & Dick even I can see that report is a load of shit and not really a story at all.

Could be a busy day for Arthur tomorrow.

Hes bigger than the type to say 'I told you so'.

He did though.

Doesn't make him right. Infact, he's not right at all.

This so called 'news story' just backs up what the club have been saying for months - ala Lord B's posts.

FFS Steward you are an intelligent person (I think) and even you must be able to see that Ernest is a wind up merchant !
