[Johnny Crumplin Football]

Falmer will be much better, and bigger.

Yea lets all have bowls How boring would that be?

yeah they're definitely the ONLY options

 

[Zesh Rehman]

Looks like Shrewsbury's, nice and neat though

 

[Gully]

Looks like Oxford, except they built all four stands.

 

[Silent Bob]

Falmer will be much better, and bigger.

And also not in Colchester.


Hopefully it's better than that, that's just The New Den. But smaller.

To me it looks like a slightly up dated version of Withdean and typical of a team with no ambition, what is the capacity. Only needs be about 6,000 to accomodate Colchester.

 

[algie]

10000 i think Should be ready sometime this season

 

[dougdeep]

They move in tomorrow, it looks rubbish close up and is a long way from town.

I'm not sure how you can compare that at all to Withdean. Think its 10,000 which seems a bit small for a new ground now a days

At least they have their new stadium-and in about 1/5th of the time its taken us just to get approval.

 

[Gully]

I am guessing that they will have built it to enable expansion if that ever became an issue, if for example they ended up in the Premiership...stranger things have happened. It would be easy to fill in the corners, that could conceivably push capacity towards the 15k mark, or put a second tier on one of the stands to take it further. With fairly modest home crowds (and no real indication that they will improve) there is little point building a ground straight away that holds 20k, I realise that this is effectively what we are doing at Falmer but I reckon we will expand to fill the space available with a modicum of success.

Just seen the Shoreham FC chairman buying Layer Roads old seats for there stand on SSN

 

[barney]

[Basil Fawlty]
