    For anyone who hasn't seen Brighton's new stadium, there's a gallery on here:

    http://www.seagulls.co.uk/page/StadiumGallery/0,,10433~2378152,00.html

    There's some interesting stuff going on there, the away end will be lit in the colours of the away team and concourse screens will show images of legends of that team. The pies are locally made and baked on site, there's also locally brewed ale(which is also available in the away end).

    I'm looking forward to my first visit.

    Looks good. Any idea of the capacity? It doesn't look big. 14-15000?

    I like approximations. They're always about right. Amex still doesn't look that big though.

    Looks fantastic. My sister ex-husband lives in Brighton, one of the few away games I'll go to this season and i'm looking forward to it.

    It wouldn't be hard to find out, but when is the Brighton game? Tuesday night or weekend?

    I'm planning on going to this game as well since it's a Saturday. Will be another ground to add to the list I've already attended. Looks like a very nice stadium with great views all round.

    Looks nice, I remember the cup game at their old place in the mid-eighties? Pitch was covered in snow, played with an orange ball, freezing cold, Billy Askew the only one who could stay on his feet..

    It's very nice, good luck to them. They have too much **** down there over the years, essentially playing at a stadium where local school kids have their summer sports days and God when it rains do you get wet. Obviously I hope they get battered on 15th Oct but other than I hope they do well.

    I'm looking forward to see our "legends" lit up in the away end!

    Looks very familiar that stand. Or is that what you were getting at?

    Looking at the empty concrete bits between the stands it appears Inspector Pantsdown was advising on segregation. He'll be jealous thinking of how many officers he could fit in those spaces, lounging about whilst seats are ripped up but the home fans are too far away to be hit by them.
