If Ruth Kelly says "no"...

[Bry Nylon]

...what happens next?

I don't mean "the club will go out of buiness / its the end of the Albion etc etc" because I have kind of worked out those consequences of a "no" decision myself.

What I mean is, can the club appeal? Or is that really it?

After 10 years I'm beginning to lose the plot....

 

[Bakesy]

Waddya mean, IF?











Seriously, she wouldn't dare.Would she?

Don't be such a f***ing GAYER, Al.

 

[Caveman]

Cry.

 

[Bakesy]

RIOT I SUPPOSE.

At the risk of elevating the level of debate to what may be classed as 'high-brow', may I just say "takes one to know one, Simeon."

RIOT I SUPPOSE.

Yeah f*ck it thats a better idea.

Anyone No?

Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait till Gandolf logs on....

I would just become an armchair fan and watch the occasional game. I could not bring myself to support another team and too old to want to.
I really fear if it is a NO, the end will be not far behind for our great club.

 

[NMH]

RIOT I SUPPOSE.

Where shall we riot?

The Italians are trying to make it fashionable, we should hold a 'designer riot' where we all mince off in a boitchy huff blowing sarcastic kisses from limp-wristed palms.

Come on let's Vogue

 

[Bakesy]

Whether you are joking or not, I think that's probably what would happen.

It's a bit of a no brainer really.........sit back and watch the club die, or take direct action.

ALISDAIR, I do believe you are one big handbag with bells on.

More importantly, are you up for the away trip at the East end jellied eel munchers with the rest of the POSSE? Or are you going to be a GAYER yet again?

 

[portlock seagull]

If she says no, people will get upset. Very upset. And then the vast majority will do nothing because this is the age of consumerism and the individual not community. Sometimes I hark for the days when people like Norman Baker would just be stripped, and last seen running naked covered in tar and feathers in a northly direction up the A23.......

As a serious answer (sorry), Ruth Kelly will only say 'NO' to Falmer because the case has been made for Sheepcote. Bearing in mind that the case for a stadium has been accepted by the government, and is not being challenged by anyone, we will get a stadium.

The club could either appeal, or accept the decision, and draw up some plans for Sheepcote. Brighton & Hove City Council, meanwhile, would react in a way which is commonly known as 'going nuclear', as it would smash straight through the middle of their own planning policy - more commonly known as The Local Plan. In other words, they REALLY don't want the stadium at Sheepcote.

The government, incidentally, takes Local Plans seriously - especially those within Labour-controlled local authorities.

 

[Yorkie]

Labour lost overall control in Brighton Al.
There's no way we would get planning permission for Sheepcote. Not in a thousand years.

 

[Beach Hut]

What if she consults the Opus Dei and they say know ?

 

[Bry Nylon]

Not in a thousand years.

After the Falmer saga, "a thousand years" is beginning to look quite an attractive proposition ...
