After a conversation with a Falmer Parish Counsellor, it seems very likely that FPC intend to take the Falmer Stadium issue to the European Court after Lewes District Council have run their course with action and appeals in the High Court. It was FPC who persuaded LDC to take action in the High Court on their behalf, as they needed a "blank cheque" to cover the high costs which FPC could not afford on their own. There can be little doubt LDC and FPC are using the court processes to delay and scupper the building of the stadium by bankrupting or financially wounding BHAFC. Do not under estimate their determination! Last month Anne de Vecchy, fired LDCs' first salvo in their propaganda war in a letter to the Evening Argus (a newspaper she despises, and probably does not read) she stated that any delays to High Court Action will be down to BHA defending itself as a named defendant. There have been other subsequent statements by officials of LDC blaming the ODPM for delays aswell. As pointed out by Lord Steve Bassam the disputing of the detail of National Park boundaries is another way of holding up the action, as this would have an important bearing on the High Court Case.
It seems that FPC have been very busy writing to every environmental pressure group, lobbyists and any other interested parties asking for financial or moral support in an effort to give LDC moral credibility in their actions. I'm surprised that they havn't got SWAMPY out of retirement and living somewhere under the disputed potato field. ("AONB!")
Pressure must be put on LDC to drop their High Court action.Tax payers money is being spent on trying to bankrupt a much loved football club "OUR CLUB!" We need to renew our vigour for the fight, don't let the issue slip from the news pages, tv or the public eyes and ears.
