Or even in another world, the Ikea Community Stadium.
Bloody thing would never get built, always bits missing

But on the upside the club wouldn't have needed big expensive cranes and diggers.
Just one of these:-

A frightening similarity

I can look down on all the flooded houses, traffic chaos and flat pack tat from my lofty position in North Sompting.

What's the 'Scheduled Ancient Monument' top right?

Not 100% certain but I think it commemorates the joke Easy 10 posted the other day about the man who asked for fish and chips in a library.

Monks? New ones? Farming a development?

Oh.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

I'd have a job to keep my wife out of Ikea.......
more self assembly jobs for me, no doubt. I demand a lunch in their canteen!

Sorry for being really stupid but can someone summarise how Brighton can make money from this and how much will they potentially invest in this? I've not read all the thread

Not sure the Albion are making any money out of this, but Tony will, leaving him to continue to invest in the football club without taking any money out.

I do of course stand to be corrected on this, but that is my understanding of it.

The bigger question, is will cycling access to Coombes Lane be maintained from the South side of the A27!?

'New Monks Farm Developments' or whatever they've called it, is a subsidiary of the club (or at least its Stadium company).

I don't get this:
"Relocated traveller site from A27 layby – expanded to 16 pitches"

Do the travellers even play football?

Oh dear, at 4 caravans per pitch that quite a lot of travellers

same thing for practical intents and purposes.

to the question, short version is the club own the dvelopment company that owns the land (between A27-railway/airport, they gain planning permission and sell it on to developer for £millions.

There have been two public consultation meetings, over the weekend, with residents and interested parties. It seems very positive overall.

Could this newly formed company of which TB must be the major shareholder sponsor our training kit for a sum like £20m to overcome FFP with the money coming from the same source ultimately

Wow! But as someone on the Argus mentions, will £40 million in traffic improvements be enough? It's already a nightmare along the a27, IKEA will surely attract very many more vehicles.

Yep, difficult to see it getting passed, the A27 can be at a standstill and Shoreham town centre gridlock at times, nice idea on paper but is it plausible?

IKEA opes after rush hour @ 10:00, so no impact there, and 'marginal' negative impact on home-time rush hour... it will pass...

It has been suggested the lights at The Sussex Pad will be replaced with a roundabout surely that would need lights on it like coming off the M23 at Gatwick or the N to S or S to N traffic would never get out and cause even worse congestion than exists now at peak times.

The view coming from the Leader of Adur council is very positive.

How long before the 'newbies' who move in to the posh houses will stop flights at Shoreham. As for the concerts, may be the last one this year.
