Barry Izbak's Falmer Video Watch - October 2010

There ought to be more for these people to see when they go up there. Maybe laminated stadium plans and descriptions of the innovative development mounted on the blue hoarding. We ought to be doing more for these people. They are so keen to know what's going on?

I agree completely,... the NSC thread was closed on a fit of pique, and any suggestion that you feel more info is required is shouted down on here with the glib response that they have better things to do,.... do they,.. these nare the people they want to populate the place next year,.... keep them interested I say.

I'm glad it has been so popular, even though the youtube count has stuck at 308 so I don't really know quite how popular.

The object of the exercise was to capture what the new stadium means to a really wide range of Albion fans and it was great to listen to the enthusiasm of the youngsters and that of the older generation.

Like young Paul, the one who's Mum Jackie, who pokes him to speak.
He said afterwards that he would be able to show this video to his kids in the future, "when the stadium is old" to show them that he was here when it was being built. Paul was only about 8 or 9. What a star!

And it was brilliant to be able to meet and chat to those like Alan from Didcot, and particularly Stan Phillips from Berwick who has been watching the Albion since 1946 and is not well enough to go and watch at Withdean. If you think you will have a tear in your eye on August 6th, you want to speak to this fella.

There is a non stop stream of people turning up to look through those little viewing holes every week. I was there Saturday and Sunday this week and as well as Albion fans of course, there were fans from other clubs including Swindon, Bristol, Southampton, and Yeovil of course, all coming to see the most incredible stadium taking shape.

There ought to be more for these people to see when they go up there. Maybe laminated stadium plans and descriptions of the innovative development mounted on the blue hoarding. We ought to be doing more for these people. They are so keen to know what's going on?

As they say in the original Field Of Dreams,
"If you build it, people will come, they will most definately come"
.......and they do

Good man Mr BI.
