Too near Mill Road in terms of travelling time to be of real value also.

t should look even better than that because the east upper tiers wrap around the corners.
Looking at those plans tho, I wonder if a limited number of additional upper tier seats could be added to the east corners if we ever needed to expand further.
no they dont
that is the south west
this is the north east and south east corner

Who's Next?
Yes, but in completely the opposite direction, which I think is the main point.
However, if it's to be the outskirts of the city, isn't Hickstead still a bit far out (12.5 miles)?

i agree, if you look at the south west corner, that gap behind the corner has a small level of seats installed, i assume these could be added to the east corners if necessary.

As Shrek doesn't like a long bus ride, from an easterly direction I raise you Longhill High School or whatever it's called nowdays.

C'mon the Albion!
Wow! Just need a win on Saturday to complete another great year in being a Brighton & Hove Albion fan!
Has the wait been worthwhile! Yes, but sadness for all those supporters that didn't see the Amex, including my late Father. R.I.P. Dad x

The problem with the east tho is the low level of the roof, but you could certainly squeeze some in I'd have thought if the club were desperate for extra capacity (ie when we qualify for the Champions League
)Wasn't there a worry (I can't remember from who) before the stadium was built that we wouldn't fill the business model of an average of 15,000 a game?
Now looking at this sort of expansion within a year. wow.
I hope I've got my facts right.
There was some dickwad on the Argus comments page who insisted that the club wouldn't get more than 6,000/7,000. He's been rather quiet recently.
It's not that bad. A quick check shows the away fans park and ride for St. Marys is that far out (I remember it being pretty far out). I know that's just one example, but doesn't put it beyond the realms of possibility and good for people coming from that direction (away fans particularly).

i mean you see on the south west corner where the level of the stand dips down, there is another 'level' in behind it, the level of the east corners drops down like that, and i would assume that there is exactly the same space in behind that to install that other level of seating if its needed. there definitely isnt enough room for the east upper to wrap round though

Think only Watford and Derby didn't sell out - the others i'm sure did. Also Watford was 90% full. Thing is i think it was Cardiff where the tickets in South Stand only went on sale 2 days before so not many people knew about it and we did well to sell most in 2 days. Pretty much every league game has been sold right out - if you don't include away team givebacks they've all comfortably sold out.
ees complicated no?

20 mins on google maps but obviously more with traffic

Possibly, but we've got to put something extra in place, if only for away fans driving down the A23.

Hickstead would be ideal for people coming from Crawley etc.

Is Waterhall feasible for a Park & Ride? It's seems to be in the logical location, where routes North and West converge and weren't B&H Buses planning one there at some point?
