Tottenham boss Redknapp: New stadium can turn Brighton into Premier League club

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is full of praise for Brighton's new stadium after their friendly win on the weekend.

The match marked the official opening of the Seagulls' new American Express Community Stadium and the home team produced a display to match the occasion in the first half.

"It's a fantastic stadium," Redknapp told the Spurs website. "I think it's amazing what has happened here.

"I remember going to the old Goldstone Ground and then going to the Withdean as manager of Portsmouth and playing there, it wasn't a pretty place to go, and then coming here it's just fantastic.

"It is a great story and they could be a real force next season. I can see them pushing on and eventually I can see Brighton being a Premier League club."
