[deletebeepbeepbeep]

The application documents are accessible on Lewes DC website, have been for a few days!

Brighton Aloft.....not sure about that name. Am sure the creative department of NSC could have done a lot better.

Could be amazing for those of us that have to travel a long way for our home games.

Better than the club doing it, would have ended up being called the Brighton American Express Elite Aloft Sleeping Performance Community Centre.

Hmmmm very catchy !!

Not quite sure that Doug Loft has done anything of note to warrant having a hotel named after him, unless you count the time he came on for the last 20 minutes of the dismal 5-1 drubbing by Stoke at Withdean, scored with a daisy-cutter and promptly got awarded MoM.

The planning application was submitted by Albion Sports and Leisure Ltd. Hence I mentioned them the other day but had to keep schtum about the application!

the iPro is like a giant advertising hoarding, it's plastered with adverts even has 2 video screens on the outside. Now all of this counts towards FFP. So if Mel Morris (our Chairman) decides to say here you are DCFC, here's my share of Candy Crush, we'd be laughing right? I suspect not, but I don't know where the line is drawn.....

I would think that any money from an owner that's paid for advertising would have to be done at market value. ie, he can't spend £5m on the adverts when no other company would pay more than £1m. Otherwise all clubs could do it, you don't need a giant iPro advert, chairmen could just pay £5m for a small sign.

I wondered that the other day - You may have seen, but the iPro is like a giant advertising hoarding, it's plastered with adverts even has 2 video screens on the outside. Now all of this counts towards FFP. So if Mel Morris (our Chairman) decides to say here you are DCFC, here's my share of Candy Crush, we'd be laughing right? I suspect not, but I don't know where the line is drawn.....

There isn't actually a solid line I don't think. A panel reviews excessive income from adverts, remember when City wanted to bypass FFP by getting 500m over 10 years for calling their stadium the Etihad, despite being owned by the same people? I think that was blocked or didn't count towards FFP or something

I wonder if it's too much to hope they will do special deals for us long distance ST holders.

Didn't make my point very well, I get the advert bit, but let's say DCFC, or BHAFC, have shares gifted to them a software developer, obv there is an implication of that gift, but can the revenues they would gain from that count toward FFP?

In a sense, like Bloom paid for your stadium, but Brighton benefit against FFP from the non football related revenues that the stadium brings.

It's obviously very complicated.

"It would also look to tap into the market of parents visiting the city’s universities and passing businessmen and women looking for somewhere to stay on the A27."

Ooo-err.

Well it could apply to any club, so obviously it wouldn't make sense to allow it, but we're talking about FFP and the football governing bodies, so anything's possible.

Yep, I don't think the non football revenues of a gifted stadium should be allowed, other than to offset the fair costs of running the stadium - ie, the stadium costs more to run due to the fact it has non footballing elements.

Probably not, but neither is Jurys

We should start a petition.

Bit pricey for somewhere to stay once a fortnight in the footie season!

Is that per night? Do we get breakfast?
