They sold the ground without telling us and when they were asked about it flatly denied it.Dave the Gaffer said:

What a f***ing numpty.
That is probably the funniest, worst, most idiotic re-writing of history.3gulls said:Archer was minted and could have invested his money in the Club? Probably not so inclined to do that with the crowd after his head!

Oh yeah, and the deal had already been done with Portsmouth to groundshare there when Archer came in and tore it up because he thought it was too far away. So he took us to Gillingham instead - or rather Paul Scally approached Bill Archer and offered us groundshare use.
The league only accepted it when it was seen that Bill Archer would be moved aside because they wanted assurances that the club would be making immediate plans to move back to within eight miles of Brighton, and with Bill Archer at the helm, there was no chance of that happening.

Those two are beyond words for me, so I won't bother trying to think of new ones, but cockjuggling thundercunts will do for now.Dave the Gaffer said:you missed out the punchline

I've enjoyed the fact that it's actually going to get us a ground. Unlike anything else.
Benny Zamora said:And Pevvers - you make it sound like we should somehow think less of the Archerlotti because their planning application for Toad's Hole Valley was smaller than the Falmer one. Presumably you've enjoyed the endless wait the detail of the current plans has caused us?

It's nice to know that the Bin now runs Internet hour right after group therapy.

My recollection is that there was an accompanying sketch map as well.The Clown of Pevensey Bay said:
When it reached my desk at ESCC, I dealt with it in about two minutes by writing a note to the effect that it was impossible to comment on the transport aspects of the application, since no details had been provided. A subsequent letter to the Club produced ... no response whatsover.
Does anyone remember whether Bellotti had even asked the owners of Toads Hole Valley whether they supported the idea of a stadium being built on their land?

All water under the bridge now, not even worth getting a hair out of place over.
All is good as we have DK sorting out Falmer stop worrying.

Just to put the records straight Greg Stanley never ever wanted to build a stadium on Toads Hole and in fact went on the radio after an evening game and said that Toads Hole was out of the question because of the mist and he quoted that had we been playing there on that particular evening the game would have been called off and so would numerous other games during the winter and we could not afford the postponments.
Also I do not recollect there ever being a stipulation about the ground being within 8 miles of Brighton town centre until after we had been at Gillingham and had started making enquiries about ground sharing with Millwall etc.
Finally it was Hampshire Police that put the stop on us ground sharing with Portsmouth as they would not allow it.
Anything else as to whether or not we would have a ground by now is pure conjecture dependant on how you wish to view the situation there is nobody who can give an outright Yes or No answer.
In case anybody wishes to raise it I am not sticking up for them in any way shape or form just passing on facts as I saw them.

There is little doubt that Archer had the money to fund a new ground, he is one of the richest men in Britain, the fact is that he never intended to and did not do so.

Blimey. This one just beggars belief.
ARCHER WOULD NOT HAVE BUILT A GROUND FOR THE ALBION.
EVER.
FULL STOP.
GOT IT?
I KNOW.

Blimey, have people gone stark raving bonkers?
Archer and Belloti were only interested in the sale of the Goldstone Ground. They had no interest in the club or finding a new ground for us.
Stalin would have been proud of the rewriting of history going on here.
