Is it me, or does that playing area look quite small?

That pitch looks more suited to FFF than professional football.

Irvinchangeyaname Dark Star Hophead and Harveys will be on sale in at least one of the concourses in every part of the ground.


Can't see how they'll be able to server a decent pint of real ale as the pumps will only be in use every other saturday. Doubt whether they'll be having a fulltime bar manager to look after it properly.

I might start supporting Brighton actually, much easier for me to get to from Clapham than Reading is.

It doesn't look small to me, but the stands do look very shallow.

Neither are a testament to modern design although if I had to choose Falmer would just edge it.

It has one large 3 tier stand and three single tier low capacity stands.

Why isn't the roof green? It would blend in much better if it was, rather than BHA blue.

It looks a nice stadium but when you look at that picture it has ruined that area of the Sussex countryside. At least our ground improved the area it was built.

And as it's in a dip, and partially submerged, you don't see it from miles away - you need to go over the brow of the surrounding hills before it's visible.
