The club wants to relocate to a site near the university but awaits the decision of John Prescott. Today's noisy demo saw more fans of the club turn out (on a weekday) than the present stadium actually holds. If the club don't relocate to somewhere bigger their chances of promotion are pretty much fucked. They sell out their present ground every week but due to it's size they still make a loss.
Over 100,000 local people have pleged their support to the proposed new location.
Today's demo was led by a local Samba band and the club's disabled supporters. Spotted in the crowd were Attilla the Stockbroker and Billy Bragg amongst others.

There is no other site in Brighton that is cost effective, environmentally sustainable, or big enough for a football stadium.
The city needs a football ground more than we need badgers, which nestle in many a sett all around the fringes of the conurbation.
