On SS Soccer Saturday just now - Brighton Chief Exec showing cameras around the site.
They will project iconic images of the visiting side across the visitors stand concourse. Also intend to provide beer local to the visting sides in the refreshment bars and intend to allow both sets of fans to 'mingle' in the surround.
An enlightened approach and arguably laudable. Need to see how it works out. Would we be comfortable with John Greig or Ally MCoist or Fat Robbo or Willie Bauld splashed across our South?
Buckie on tap????
Not sure about the American Express logo splashed across his hard hat and hi-vis either. Maybe they are funding this and it's all a transatlantic initiative.

I was at the Bournemouth v Charlton game a few weeks ago (away end) and was pleased to see beer for sale under the stands .
During the first half 3 kegs were wheeled in ready for half time.

Regarding mixed support sections, not my cuppa but if other people fancy it, why not. Works well in Germany and Polska where they have the 2000 odd radges caged in and allow the 'normal' fans away fans to sit in the home ends.
Tidy wee ground aswell.

I was at Old Trafford in November, and they sell Singha Lager to be consumed in the concourse, which I thought was great. They just tip the bottle into a plastic tumbler. Your not allowed to take it to your seat though.

Was looking at my dad's engineering magazine (he's an engineer) a couple of years back when they announced the future building of the ground. It was risky with their finances but they have just been promoted to the Championship, great stadium and have already sold 16,000 season tickets so all is good for them.

I am sure Brighton & Hove Council would have much preferred 30 boxes of paperwork to wade through rather than a single, concise briefing document.

The capacity of their new stadium is 22,500 yet the highest attendance they've had for a league match in 10 years is about 8,500.

Red some of the bumph in the programme and they were saying that the bigger, better stadium will bring in the fans.
Brighton has a massive catchment area, they are the "local" team for hundreds of thousands of people. The advanced season tickets sales reflect this. Good luck to them.
Now Hibs get on the blower and arrange a weekend pre season friendly with them in Brighton. Ohhhhh Yea!

The catchment area as you say is massive and there's no reason they can't fill the ground if they can take their form from Division 1 onto the Championship.
