Has Bloom made a massive balls up when building The Amex?

instead of the highest spec possible for everything and spent millions, posh seats, fancy screens etc etc.

Now we're cost cutting everywhere, losing by all accounts a small fortune, and ticket prices are obscene.

Yes, we're grateful for keeping the club afloat - but long term, would we have been better of building a stadium like Millwall, or dare I say it, an identikit 'souless bowl' like Saints and co, a ground on a budget that may have be much cheaper to run?

Has Bloom actually cocked up here? For all the talk of him being a shrewd businessman (backed up by his wealth), he does seem to have dropped a bollock.

Just thought I'd leave you on that happy note after a brilliant weekend for The Albion. :drink:

Poor catch.

Impossible to answer.

I would suggest that building a Millwall would just stagnate us or ensure that mediocrity would continue for the life expectancy of the ground. Our stadium provides the finest facilities in Sussex for banquets, conferences, events and so on. The earning power of a 365 stadium (other than 23/26 matches a season) should not be underestimated.

Do you think Liebherr and Cortese would have built St Mary's if they had taken over when at the Dell?

Edit: For future reference, [MENTION=30]Withdean Wanderer[/MENTION] , can you tell me if you post things you believe or simply enjoy fishing and the attributed abuse. Just so I know whether to try and reason with you in future. Thanks.

We're banning people for telling us they were at a press conference and we allow this tedious drivel to remain??
