I don't think every club that has built a new stadium has done it because 1000s have been locked out. Stadiums get old, buildings outlive their purpose and so it simply becomes time to move on.

I think it's fair to ask any owner why a new stadium is not a priority. The success you detail is more reason for a new stadium, not an argument against one.

But they’ve been clear, did you watch the fans forum?

Yeah they have made it clear on numerous occasions tbf
-concentrate on training ground
-Improve BP +infrastructure

I think they know we need a new stadium but havent got the capital of that nature to just throw at it ,and dont want to put the club in danger by trying to acquire one .

Stockwood & Petit are strategists so they have a long term plan no doubt ,behind closed doors -they arent going to be saying we will be here ,there and everywhere in X amount of time to everyone  .

But in a subtle way Stockwood is saying ,especially in the last few interviews about 'going right through ' and 'moving through the gears ' so its quite clear he doesnt see us sitting in league 2 at the current BP forever

Its not something to really concern us
Its not like before ,everything is in hand now

Yes, not really impressed by the constant dodges on this issue. Feels like there will always be an excuse why it can't happen. Yet other, lesser, clubs seem to manage it.

You could argue though the majority of those 'lesser clubs ' have adequate but souless ,non armospheric stadiums for example :
Colchester (as above )
Burton
Shrewsbury
Oxford
Barnet
Boston
Been to all those and havent been that impressed ,obviously all done on a tight budget and just about functional but not much else .

Who’s flipping arsed? Really? It’s genuinely not a priory. We believe it is because the previous idiot was obsessed but in truth, it really isn’t.

They’ve made it clear that given the state of the club they inherited, money needs spending and investment is needed elsewhere.

1000s aren’t being locked out each week and whilst we may think BP is in a state, the people I hear go on about that, face to face anyway, very rarely go away or if they do it’s usually to the better stadiums…that’s doesn’t mean it’s ok, but it does make you realise that BP isn’t the worst stadium in the world.

All about priorities…and money…

I have to say arriving at Brighton if we had something a 3rd of the size it would be awesome and they’ve not even opened the gates yet.

If a new ground means waiting like this for a train every home game I’d rather stay at BP thanks
