The New Stand

[Tommy Cook reporting]

Are they the executive boxes at the front?

 

[trueblue]

Did the half dozen people sat in the new seats yesterday pay to get in?

Do they count as being "in"? That stand's virtually at Hove station. Away fans had better bring a radio.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

how does anyone actually get there?

 

[mitch]

down the side of the sports centre so the away fans will now have to walk miles just for the pleasure of seeing f*** all

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

there's 840 seats there by my calculations

 

[Safeway]

Reckon there's got to be a few more seats going in. I count no more than eight rows of 80 or so seats, a maximum of 640. The new away end will hold at least 1,000.

I can hear the chants now........................"Where are yer? Where are yer?"

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i got 10 rows

 

[Kent Seagull]

That's gonna be an awful view of the pitch, glad it's for away fans! Is the hammer net coming down on match days?

 

[Silent Bob]

It's no further away then the current away stand.

 

[southwickseagull]

i only counted about 480

Mad John Catt claimed that the new stand was going to tower over his garden. Sadly it doesn't but I hope the JCBs are annoying him.

 

[Marc]

my GOD that looks bloody terrible

It's further away because the pitch is not central in the running track oval.

 

[Gully]

...we could always sing "What's it like to be in Hove" at the away fans!

 

[parks]

Much needed!!

I like that one, and "where are yer?, where are yer?"

I've been referring it as the "Hove End" for a while.

You could stick a roof on that so easily and it still wouldnt block the residents view
