I reckon the 150 that watch them every week will be chuffed to bits with some new facilities!

Been talked about for a while now, Not sure how it will be viable on low crowds, but as the saying goes "if they build it they will come"

How on earth can they build in Whitehawk? I thought building there was ruled out for a number of environmental reasons

 

[Gully Forever]

Why Build at 30,000 Stadium when the average crowds were less the 10k..

I think The same philosophy applies here!.

Great news for the club if it all goes ahead. I think they could possibly double their attendance if they get the development right. Providing home games do not clash with ours, they could be looking at pulling in as many as 400 people in the long term. Great stuff for such a small club.

I Maybe wrong but the northern Outskirts of that Stadium diagram looks as though the horse track is right next to it!.

What happened about their name change? Didn't they want to be called Brighton and Hove City or something?

 

[carteater]

good for them, but brighton is too small to be a 2 club city, burgess hill get more crowds than them, what is the point

 

[ditchy]

It still will not stop you going up to the top of the hill by the golf course and watching for free

400 would still see them in the bottom 8 of average attendances for the Conference South. They're trying to bankroll a National Conference status - running before they can walk.

Non league football is littered with local businessman, in this case KD Waste/Recycling, pumping money into clubs without recourse to building a core support first. It then goes horribly wrong, Lewes, Farnborough, Salisbury, Weymouth, the list goes on.

400 is barely enough to sustain Conference South finances. They're currently signing on professional players, allegedly sticking them on employment contracts with the Waste firm, and putting them on part time contracts with the club. It will all end in tears.

Who did that then? It certainly wasn't the Albion as they only built a 22.5k stadium to start with

Crowd safety concerns more likely.....
