I thought about the Den but the idea of shitting oneself thoroughly twice a day - both on the way to and from our own home games - rendered it out of the running for me at least.

And as for the idea of us giving a sizable chunk of money to that oddball wig-wearing egomaniac in Berkshire - nah. Scally was bad enough.

Nah Millwall are a bunch of lambs these days. In any case all their nutters should be at away games when we play there! I like the ground and it's easy to get to.

Always expect the unexpected with the Albion, the Prem, why not ? Would really put those chaps up the FA in a bit of bother. How about them saying you can't play at home, so you have to play every team twice away ?

Yes but at least we don't have to pay Sainsbury's rent and have to clear trollies off the pitch....
No, running shoes and Javelins maybe.

Got to be Selhurst. Not sure where Palace would play though. Carshalton?

After Brighton have played on it they would have to re turf it no doubt.
Chunks of grass flying everywhere.

If our away form this season is anything to go by, we'd be playing in Europe by 2006.

We could groundshare with Barcelona. Cheap flights from Gatwick. Marvellous.

New Den would be good! less than an hour on the train from Brighton.
Gives us a wave at Norwood Junction. or Selhurst. You may have to duck down on the way past. Not my style though.

This is getting worse by the minute.
Sort it out and get realistic.

I'll be easy to recognise, I'll be the one urinating out of the window as we whistle past.... :salute:

Can you JUST imagine if we had to go to Cardiff again, 0-0 coming up to 90 minutes and then "PENALTY!"


Leon steps up and bangs it in after stopping on his run up to send the keeper the wrong way!!

:clap2: :flameboun :clap2:

Sorry Croydonbloke.

We'll do our European groundshare with TNS. Unlike Chrystal Palace, they play in the UEFA Cup just about every season.

From http://www.saints-alive.co.uk/treflan.htm

NOT the most impressive 'stadium' in Wales, but not bad for a village the size of Llansantffraid (population just over 1,000).
The Recreation Ground, usually referred to as Treflan, is bang in the middle of the village - just turn off the A4393 opposite Wynnstay Stores.
Attendances for Welsh Premier games averaged 258 last season with a high of 441 for the visit of Bangor City.
Highest crowd of the season was 1,056 for the visit of Wrexham in the quarter-finals of the FAW Premier Cup.
On 9 August 2002, Treflan saw a record crowd of 1,996 for the pre-season friendly visit of Chelsea.
The stand behind one goal seats 500 and is alongside a corporate hospitality box. Down one side of the ground is an older, smaller stand, opposite the TV gantry, which is used for filming recorded highlights at some games for showing on BBC Wales or HTV Wales. The ground is fully floodlit.
Current admission charges are £5 adults, £3 OAPs, £1 children.
44-page colour match-day magazines cost £2.
There is an excellent licensed social club inside the ground, together with a refreshment bar serving hot and cold drinks and snacks.
Saturday kick-offs are at 3.00, evening kick-offs at 7.30 pm.

Actually, there would be something nicely ironic about ground sharing at Priestfield and getting bigger crowds than the Pikies manage.
