Opponents blast "completely wrong" decision
By Simon Barrett
Comment
Jacquetta Fewster, the director of the South Downs Society, said: "The decision to build this stadium is completely wrong.

"The countryside in this part of the South-East is so special it has been included within the boundary of the proposed national park, including much of the stadium site.

"The area has been described as the most beautiful of all the English chalk country'.

"This decision opens the way for this beautiful landscape to be destroyed, entombed under breeze block and concrete."

"The South Downs Society will campaign vigorously against any other scheme that would involve the expansion of an urban area like Brighton into this precious landscape."

You can hardly expect them to say 'Oh great, what a marvelous idea' can you ? They are duty bound to bitch, whine and lie.

 

[Seagullible]

have they ever looked at the site, they are beyond belief

 

[Superphil]

On the radio now, asking for funding for "Badger Tunnels" to be made payable by the club. Also, loads of Seaguls are going to settlle in the area.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

What do you expect from someone called 'Jacquetta'

 

[Lady Whistledown]

What sort of preposterous name is Jacquetta Fewster anyway??

I can't believe what I was hearing, badger tunnels.

 

[Bobby's Gull]

Interesting, they say they will campaign vigorously against any other scheme. Nothing about an appeal.

Also, do they not realise that the rest of the Downs are going to be in the national park, thus eliminating the chance of further development?

I think this is a very good idea.

Not that expensive and gets a lot of wildlife lovers on OUR side.

 

[Theatre of Trees]

I though all the stadium site had been removed from the boundaries of the national park?

The South Downs Society, like the CPRE, Baker, LDC etc have never allowed the truth to get in the way of their statements.

You can still build in a National Park with the right justifications.

Doubtful that you would be allowed to 'entomb' it in 'breeze block and concrete' though.

What sort of Badgers are those?

 

[Row Z Creased Shirt]

What sort of Badgers are those?

I believe that would be the CACK badgers of the LDC, FPC and CPRE

 

[bhaexpress]

You're all forgetting the poor bats as well, shame on you !

 

[dougdeep]

Release the honey badgers.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Why is it only badgers that seem to be catered for in this way?

If we're trying to emphasise our green credentials, surely we also need to build in several rabbit corridors, a pigeon roost, at least eight hedgehog crossings, two wormeries and an escalator for stoats.
