Are you the same source as the rumour that the decision would be announced on the Monday of the Labour Party Conference?pigin stripes said:

So, the club knows, and the answer is "NO", but still we get a story on the web site about Jakey wanting to be the first person to score at Falmer.....I'm pretty sure that if "the club" is in the know, that would include Paul C, and why would he write that if the decision was a No ?pigin stripes said:For those who want to listen the answer has been sent to the club, several days ago. My understanding from those who know and I am led to believe only the main 3 persons involved know the result is being delayed for 28 days until its made public.
A official response is to be made by a firm of solicitors acting for JP. on the 25/10/05.
NO I don't know the result however from what I have been told I believe its a NO, but with a yes for Sheepcote.
I love the fact that there are 3 main persons involved.
Who are these 3 main persons?
The parties involved are Lewis Council, Falmer Parish Council, Brighton and Hove council, the club solicitors, Lord B, the Regency society, Sussex Downsman etc etc etc all of whom would be sent a copy of the decision at the same time.
Who would want to keep their mouths shut?
Lewes? I doubt it. Falmer residents? Last time when they thought they had won they couldn't wait to uncork the champagne and inform SCR even though they had misread the information.

I'm not sure that's technically correct.
Prescott is still only saying yes or no to Falmer. Whilst he may suggest another site is suitable, he could feasibly say that no sites are suitable.

I'm no expert, but it's a question of Yes or No to Falmer is it not. Technically could say no to Falmer and deem none of the other sites are suitable either.
Only speaking theorectically

Could've said NO to Falmer over a year ago though, and he didn't. It was "prove Falmer is the best site out of these".
Which I'm pretty confident we then went ahead and did.

Point I'm making is that it isn't Prescott's remit to find us a site for the stadium if he says no the Falmer.
Although he may point out that another appears more suitable.
That's not a rubber stamp to build a stadium somewhere else is it ?
Am I mistaken ?

If another site is recomended then the planning application would have to be submitted to the council as normal. and then maybe another session with ODPM. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Now i can't say too much but
when i was having dinner with JP last night he told me that not only is he going to give us Falmer, but he will put up half the money for the build and insist on all England internationals being played there.
The night before in a bar with Diego and Ossie, they told me that they are planning to pump millions into the team and we should be competing in the champions league within the year.
I can't say anything more for now as my job could depend on it, but i got this from the horses mouth

In terms of accessibility, Sheepcote is a complete nightmare - that should be the crippling nail in the coffin for that site. Other considerations are that, unlike the Falmer site, Sheepcote Valley is actually GENUINELY used by locals as a kind of nature reserve for walks etc, so the environmental impact of putting a stadium there is far greater than it is at Falmer.
