I have said it before and I'll say it again............

I agree with these points, 1,500 in a 23k ground is too much but what we could push is using Falmer if Lewes draw league opposition in the FA cup ! like a couple of seasons ago when they drew Stoke and had to switch the tie.

Totally agree with that.

Surely their ground is better than doncaster rovers and belle vue got back into the league without any question being asked.
and i would think that falmer would be too big for lewes also this would mean extra traffic and crowds trampling through nimby land and i dont think we could have that now can we.

although it would be funny to see their faces when there is a game at least once a week at falmer.

Current standards for a Conference side to be promoted to the Fourth Division (or whatever it's bloody called now), were reduced recently to a capacity of 4,000 - it was 6,000. There are other safety issues (entrance / exits / first aid points etc) that have to be adhered to.

Lewes COULD make their ground a 4,000 capacity, but it might take a certain amount of dosh that they wouldn't currently have.

I thought there was an issue with turnstiles that couldn't be used by both sets of fans (ie keep the away fans seperte) that they couldn't satisfy in time.

Lewes has a ground. I nice one at that. It isn't too small either. What would be the point?

Nice ??
It's get's sticky in the summer !!
Frying pan indeed
