Loving those that don't live anywhere near Brighton and Hove saying they don't drive past it, like the Old Shoreham Road was somehow involved.

I live quite close by now and don't have any issues with using it now and again. In actual fact I find it quite evocative as it triggers a lot of good memories.
My main issue with it is that It is a monstrosity, poorly designed for everyone other than car users. To those who haven't been there for a while, there is now housing on the corner of Goldstone Lane and Newtown Road. The car dealership either has planning permission or has applied for planning permission for the construction of flats and houses. I get the impression that the retail units are getting less and less viable so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them gone in the next 10 years and replaced by housing or a mixed used development.

Never boycotted it. Never saw the point.
Often wonder where we would be today if the Goldstone was never sold.
Probably still playing there as a third tier side with the odd season in the Championship.
Whilst it was a **** at the time, without that pair of complete Muppets learching from one **** up to the next, where would the club be today?
And as football fans, it gave us a near unique experience, that most supporters will never have...... and it all turned out well in the end!
I see no point it boycotting stores that operate there today, just make myself feel better. I just look at the Amex, and instantly feel a lot better than I would, if we was playing Fleetwood in League One at the weekend at the Goldstone!!!
