Not unlike Alan Pardew.

That is because Southampton is a city full of large depressing, derelict former industrial sites crying out for something to be built on them.
Unfortunately Brighton doesn't have much in the way of vast industrial employment-graveyard wastelands. We're surrounded by rolling hills and sea. Southampton is surrounded by empty dockyards and retail parks
If stadiums designs were turned into hats you wouldn't get in with your SMS hat
Be fair, after playing for years at the toilet known as the Dell (hell, it made Fratton Park look like Wembley) it's no wonder they think St Mary's is so good,
Poorly built ? What repairs ?
As for the location, it is walking distance from the town centre and loads of pubs, what's more it's in the St Mary location which is where the club was formed in 1888. Yours is in the middle of nowhere in a location with no connection to your heritage.
Lets see where you are when the gloss has worn off your new ground
A mate of mine down in Southampton is making a very tidy living out of almost constantly working on your stadium.
Yes ours is on the edge on the town but the stadium is still in Brighton, only half the coach park is in Falmer actually, it is also hardly in the middle of nowhere it's very well served by buses and trains already.
Our stadium has been built to the very highest standards from the highest quality materials (hence the higher cost) it will be fine in 7-10 years time.
Am I the only one who finds it hillarious that your claiming oneupmanship on the quality of the building material of our respective stadiums?
Wouldn't disagree. Brighton is a miles better place to live thats why i've lived here since 1995 (unlike my BHA supporting brothers) and before that, West Sussex. It's also a much smaller city than Soton albeit with a million times more character. But it's the footy club I support not the town.

I'm finding it a bit lame to be honest. He knows some handyman who does some odd job work at St Mary's and that is apparently proof that the place is falling to bits?Am I the only one who finds it hillarious that your claiming oneupmanship on the quality of the building material of our respective stadiums?

Apparently there's a bloke who cleans the windows at Canary Wharf all year round. I hope the people who work there know the place is on it's last legs.

How is stating fact try to claim one upmanship?
Was it a knock on the head at a young age that made you go against the family grain and support Stains or were you after a bit of glory hunting and decided the nearest club in the upper tier was just down the road from 4th division Brighton?

Erm...
Nope starting supporting Saints in 81 when BHA were also in Div 1. Keegan was attraction. (and the need to be different from Sim)
Since 1995 nippers
Crikey. I had a feeling you were younger than that. Was it the hair that did it?
I thought all stadia would need regular maintenance and general upkeep, particularly those that are more than 5 years old.
