The NEW £60million Falmer Stadium

[Brok]

Even if it ever happens, we'd NEVER fill it.

....A field of Dreams.....

 

[Papa Lazarou]

But how will we pay for it? With the global credit crisis, I can't see any bank lending the money to finance this, and Dick doesn't have the money to fund it. I'm really worried that this won't happen now.

 

[Napper]

Everyone is doom mongering. Falmer WILL be built and I'm confident we can attract the 12k needed to break even and pay for it.

We might for a couple of seasons then the novelty will wear off.

By which time we will have probably hit our ceiling

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

As long as it gets built I couldn't give a shit if it looks like a giant spaceship has landed overnight!

Love this.

I remember it being absolute heresy on NSC to even hint at suggesting that the banking crisis could mean that Dick Knight couldn't get the bank loan.

12k! For the first year or so maybe, but don't forget that everyone in Sussex supports Prem clubs. They might turn up once or twice just out of curiosity, but we'll never get back to the old Goldstone days of 13,000+ on a regular basis. And anyone who thinks we could get an average crowd in the low or mid twenty thousands needs their head examining.

and the bats.
Please don't forget the bats.

I just hope that someone makes a photographic record.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Oh but we did....

But we did get a new permission?

 

[pishhead]

Love this.

Haha! To be fair it's pretty accurate.

I'm still wondering that.

Don't worry, the bats are fine.

Most of them became supporters (check my profile photo for evidence).

The break even bit hasn't happened sadly on double the crowd- is that player wages?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Oh but we did....

Have you too much time on your hands ?

 

[KJP]

Are there any pictures of early concepts? I've got the book somewhere but not sure where it is at the moment
