Argus Latest - They read it first on NSC... Now read what they've said

[Ex-Staffs Gull]

I would have thought that it was not likely that they could delay it on the National Park question as it would have been agreed even though the site was 'officially' in an AONB at the time of the decision. De-scoping the AONB would surely only vindicate the decision or give us extra ammunition if they did manage another appeal.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Having seen the evidence that was submitted to Ruth Kelly, I would have thought that the AONB issue has pretty much been done to death by ALL parties.

Ruth Kelly specifically asked the parties to present evidence relating to the proposed designation of the South Downs National Park. LDC and the Albion set out their respective arguments at some length. The decision, when it comes, will undoubtedly take all of this evidence into full account.

The point about today's development is that it gives LDC absolutely nothing more to strengthen their case against the Falmer stadium. They must be feeling very glum about that.

They take a lot of their stories from other people's websites...

That sounds like professional bitching, Richie.

All papers get stories from other people's websites. The best ones, however, then re-check their sources.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Of course Alan. But not everyone copies quotes and intros WORD for WORD...

No one from Lewes District Council was yesterday available for comment.

Says It All

Martin Perry and Paul Samrah were interviewed on SCR this morning and without saying it is a yes in as many words, Perry was certainlyvery confident.

" No one from Lewes District Council was yesterday available for comment. "

That just about sums up the last 2 years.

 

[See-Goals]

I can see it now - Argus headline of "ITS A YES", footage of DK and MP on the local news drinking champers oh hang on, haven't we seen that before?!

A yes decision to me is an eventual certainty, its just a shame that technically we have already had the celebration. I personally will be enjoying a big sigh of relief and a mutter of "Thank God for that".

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

That Simon Barrett knows his onions.

 

[Seagullible]

great news , I expect the yes will be delivered in the post today

 

[unnameable]

At the risk of sounding wet, I think I'll cry when the "yes" verdict is given. I shall certainly kiss the nearest woman to me when I learn of the decision. I just hope that I don't learn of the decision while I'm at work, as my boss (who sits next to me) looks like a troll.

"What is especially encouraging is that the inspector said he would have moved the boundary regardless of the stadium. It is a ploughed field surrounded by a road, a train track and buildings - not an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty".

 

[Statto]

Its in the bag!!

Make that 5 years when it was first called in for a public inquiry.

 

[north stand falmer]

Falmer is in the bag.Might as well start to celebrate

One shouldn't tempt fate. Mate been out with (this girl) Fay for ten years, proposed and she said yes, mates said it's about time and Jamie had said it was always in the bag, took everything for granted, a week before the wedding and Fay said she didn't think he was the right peoson for her. sad really, thought they were a perfect match, they seemed compatible in every sense. just goes to show that nothings in the bag until it's confirmed.

I really hope your celebrations turn too fruition.
