Anyone remember this?

It would have been a 25,000 all-seater stadium, but Bamber had the option of 20,000 seats and 10,000 standing. Would have cost £8 million.

All very well, but I think I prefer the design of the Amex!

At least he had ambitions for the club unlike a band of crooks a decade later

That's a very modern look for '83

Sad that it took 29 years and two temporary homes before we got one. Although I think Falmer is slightly better

Excellent! Thanks. I was wondering whether there were existing stadiums with a similar design to the one in the sketch.

That is now partly an Eden Project like bio dome. Went their last year. The snow outside came up to my thighs.

I also liked the early Falmer plans which included an ice hockey rink...

I'd love to see a memorial to Mike Bamber at The Amex. The man who took us to the first division and a cup final.

Liking the Vauxhall Chevette in the carpark.

And the fact that everyone going to the match is going in a suit. Very corporate.
