    Planners only operate to planning law. Yes, there can be some interpretation. What the specifics of the law which led to the decision to not have 'pay-on-the-gate' was I don't know. But I just don't buy this 'It's going to be difficult to get tickets if you can't get them on the door' opinion...

    12000+ empty seats at Falmer

    From what Martin Perry said last week (off-air), I understand the legal advice regarding the planning was that if they wanted 'pay-on-the-gate', they wouldn't have got planning approval. Simple as that. Whether that can be changed at a later date is another matter. But it will be expensive to...

    :lolol: Blimey, Tim. I was only joking. From one o'clock-ish on a Saturday, there is a train from Brighton to Falmer at, 1258, 1311, 1337, 1343, 1358, 1410, 1437 and 1443 - all of which will get you to the ground in time for kick-off. From Lewes, there are trains at 1258, 1314, 1329, 1344...

    Oh, behave. I'm allowed an opinion, as is he. I'm merely pointing out in the minimum of terms that I don't agree. You think I'm ridiculing him just because I disagree? Deary me. Actually, I've had a great idea. I'll agree with him for the sake of it, and then you can be happy. Hooray! Please...

    Fair points. Although with your state of mind on this scenario, why don't you add in 'stadium collapse' while you're at it? Boxing Day at Falmer could prove to be interesting. I was, however, surprised at your question (or rather the pre-amble to the question) last week when you said there's...

    There might be a myriad of reasons for not wanting to attend any given match at Falmer - team playing shite / work commitments / bit strapped for dosh at that time / family issues and so on. To say you - or they - won't go purely down to the method of how you purchase your ticket does seem to...

    Blimey, you're more negative than the board's most negative, er, person. Why do you say 'you can't buy tickets on the day?' Where did that little nugget come from?

    Such as whom? When you have majority control of the club - as Archer did, you can, if you want to, do what you want with it. Who could have stopped them? Lawyers? The courts? They weren't doing anything illegal. Immoral, yes but not illegal.

    According to Martin Perry, season ticket holders will have, for want of a better term, glorified Oyster cards (even the turnstiles will be like those at railway stations, rather than barred gates). You can also use this card to buy drinks, food, merchandise etc inside the stadium. First-time...

    Two floors of corporate hospitality, on the first and third floors for what are terms 'Gold' and 'Platinum' members. Looks like about 950 people to cater for if seated. Plus 14 executive boxes of 10 people each. No hospitality anywhere else by the looks of things.
