What's the latest on the hotel at the Amex?

They mention Manor close, but what about the Hassler estate (west way/Broadway) the other side of the flood plain? That estate floods continuously already! surely those residents need some reassurances here to? i hope the club has paid a few visits to this estate to see the 1-2 feet of water that regularly accumulates there.

but im sure they have, if ever there was a trusted developer, its Mr Bloom!

I take it this is on the land that was developed for a golf course that went phutt.

Wonder if there will be a bat collision event though

Knowing Brighton, there will be about six crusty people in their 70s who will manage to block it.

The traffic problem will never be resolved until they either create a bypass across the downs or make the A27 a dual carriageway from lyons farm onwards. That's where the bottleneck forms.

Traffic Jams are part of the IKEA experience though so don't expect anything different!

But.... It's not Brighton, and I think that's the point.

The Hotel was blocked in Brighton, and I feel the club realise that building anything of any significance (with a few notable exceptions) is hugely difficult in Brighton. Adur seem much more realistic and amenable.

As a resident of Lancing I very much welcome this announcement and wish all parties involved the best of luck, if this comes to fruition it will be a major boost to the area in jobs, road infrastructure and very much needed homes.

Mr Bloom you are a true Sussex philanthropist

There you have it! Instant do-it-yourself, fold-up seats for when safe standing comes into being at the Amex. Each fan will be issued with a mini screwdriver and spanner kit. A dedicated team will also be on hand to help assemble structure for those of you who are DIY-phobes (a small fee will be required). In addition each fan will be given a voucher for Ikea's Super Special Swedish Meatballs available at all the concourse kiosks. :cool:

So we're going to spend 170 million on a poxy sofa shop but we can't afford to spend 5 million on a striker. Sort it out Bloom.

Are we building Ikea for them then?

As a local then, do you think there will be the usual local objections ?

I think it will be mixed. Some seem very pleased, others are horrified - the same people who were horrified at the thought of the training ground.

I think it will be great, and am looking forward to my garden NOT being flooded for a change!

Or encourage people to use alternatives to their cars?
