We'll have boat loads of them. Remember all the rumours during that week about Coppell staying/going? Or those few days when Leon Knight was deciding whether he'll sign for Brighton or QPR? I think that this will be even worst, since it is a far, far more important topic.

Anyone seen to be posting foundless lies and speculation whilst presenting it as fact on this subject should be stripped naked, smothered from head to toe in treacle, rolled in Maryland Cookie crumbs, and strung up beneath the Palace Pier for the seagulls to pick their stinking carcass to a raw and bloodied pulp in a sustained, frenzied feeding attack.

This is by no means a dig at you, Everest, cos I know you're only extracting the urine. But it dicks me off when I hear people say: "I know someone who works at Reuters, and apparently..." or "According to my mate who's a journalist..."
If the journalist in question were any good, or indeed real, they would surely have REPORTED the story somewhere...
Harrumph.
Me? I'll only believe it when I see it on http://www.odpm.gov.uk/pns/newslist.cgi

thousands, infact by the 15th there wil be a poll to decide if people want a seprate Forum for all the Falmer related threads/rumours!
One thing is guaranteed (I reckon anyway) is that when the decision is made NSC will grind to a halt as we get the most visitors EVER, probably even double the record!

Not necesarily. There are plenty of stories where journos are 99% certain but won't print for various reasons, usually because of libel concerns but sometimes because they've been handed an exclusive and are sitting (and sweating) on it.
I agree that with Falmer the libel consideration probably won't apply but it's just possible that a hack gets the story from a politician in advance and mouths off about if before it becomes official. True, it's not very likely but I won't say that it's impossible.
Oh, and I reckon there'll be more than 20 false rumours.
