Rugby at Falmer/Amex

[Barrel of Fun]

Potentially or has it been ruled out? I'd love us to share the ground with a rugby team and it would be a useful bit of income.

 

[BensGrandad]

I would rather we didnt because most pitches used for both are in a terrible state as they dont get time to repair it plus I cant stand rugby at any price and think it is a stupid game.

Another reason is that Brighton Rugby club could quite easily have come to our assistance to build a shared stadium years ago and didnt so f..k em

 

[Easy 10]

Are you on a wind-up ?
Carved up pitch and stupid faded white lines all over the shop. Egg-chasing has NO PLACE at the Amex. NONE.

 

[Art Vs Science]

From what i can remember from the fans forum this was a BIG no. Gods of the Albion only

 

[Muzzman]

If there's ONE thing I wouldn't like at the Amex (including goal music) it's bloody rugby.

You can say goodbye to slick passing football if you intend to have a sport played on it where the soul intention is to turn the pitch into a mudbath and wrestle about in it.

NO to rugby!

 

[Robbie G]

I would LOVE it purely because it would be so close

But it would tear the pitch up and I couldn't see a big club taking up any opportunity if it were offered.

Having seen Irish at the maj, cutting up the pitch is something that is not an issue

 

[Art Vs Science]

Sorry i meant to say The Club said it was football only

Took you longer to post than I thought it would. Do Reading play tippy tappy football along the ground like us, I dont think so I think they play quite route one to Shane Long etc.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

rugby can DO ONE

Oh sorry to jump in. I don,t know but we were sat next to a couple of reading fans a couple of weeks ago and they didn't think it was an issue ....but hey, they only watch reading every week, as opposed
to us who only see them on the telly

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Cutting up the pitch is one thing but I hate all the extra lines on a pitch, looks terrible

 

[Easy 10]

Look. the fact is that rugby is for braying northern drunken WEIRDO'S. Their sport is so shit they have to make up crap 'glam' names like the "Wakefield Ninja's" or the "Pudsey Rapists".

We are in Sussex, and rugby, of any code, has no place here.

Shut up easy you soft southern shandry drinking poof

 

[Conkers]

What, and risk every conversion landing in the Falmer pond? Won't someone think of the poor ducks?!??!

 

[Meade's Ball]

We played rugby in one games lesson in around 1990. It was rubbish. No room for hookers at the AMEX.

 

[Scotty Mac]

if there was a decent club in sussex then id be all for it - in order to make it worthwhile you need someone at least playing in the championship

Dont get your knickers in a twist as I know you like rugby, it wouldnt do for us all to like the same , but I was only asking if they played football on the ground or in the air.

I think that the grounds that have been criticised for this is mainly the northern ones ; like Rochdale. What is the Galpharm pitch like?

both watford and wycombes grounds are absolutely fine. if rugby messed up pitches as much as people on here are bleating about, then our game at adams park in the melting snow last christmas would almost certainly have been off

maybe its just a northern thing - infact, the only real problem ground has been stockport, whose pitch was nothing short of an utter disgrace

Really? Even though we have ONE team in the NATIONAL Leagues in the football equivalent of League Two.
