New Monks Farm Development

No they didn't. IKEA looked at the Hollingbury site, but were beaten to the acquisition of it by another company.

Fair enough. I knew they had looked at that site.

He's more of a defensive mid-fielder. Gets brought on when you want to keep things tight.

I thought he'd be playing a more attacking role and be someone who could UNLOCK the defence...

 

[The Large One]

Fair enough. I knew they had looked at that site.

I believe they also looked at the greyhound stadium site. Two major problems there...

1. Traffic access would have been a mightmare
2. Greyhounds race there 3 or 4 times a week. The owners weren't interested in selling.

If the club is struggling to find alternative park and ride sites across the city, imagine the grief trying to find an appropriate IKEA site in Brighton & Hove.

You beat me to it. Mind you what a big helmet you have !!!!

Wonder if we might see the return of Bungalow Town, the old railway halt at Shoreham Airport.

My point is that Albion supporters might have to get our heads around the fact that some of his investment decisions might be made for reasons other than just contributing to the wellbeing of the Football Club.

Not any Albion supporters who have a brain in their head.

Meanwhile in Brighton we can't get a 150 room hotel built next to the ground on a bunch of sand.

This has to go through the planning system yet and I doubt its a banker although I expect it will be supported politically by Adur for the tax receipts alone.

I wonder what future plans CPFC have got. They don't seem to have advanced much infrastructure wise since gaining all the riches of the Premier league!!!

Flashing floodlights

aka dodgy fuse box

 

[LamieRobertson]

I don't think it would be described as ancient though.

Well there was a slight flaw in my suggestion...but mentioning did get me wondering over what's happening over the memorial that has been talked about

Very little gets rejected by ADC

I believe they may have enough Sky money left over to complete the cladding at Selhurst. Have to admire the way they have carefully invested the riches from Sky so they are well prepared for life back in the Championship.

Or encourage people to use alternatives to their cars?

How would you transport a flat pack wardrobe on a bicycle?

Apart from carefully.

We don't have a car but have bought huge amounts from Ikea. Big items are delivered and we shop for small items by train and tram.

Mrs Gwylan loves going up to Croydon for a day's shopping in Ikea, she'll be wetting herself at the news that it's coming to Sussex.
