Newhaven IS posh!

If an Albion fan lives in Rottingdean, Saltdean, Telscombe, Peacehaven how are they supposed to get to Falmer without travelling through Rottingdean and Woodingdean using the Falmer Road?
I have often wondered this and IMO those residents in Woodingdean and Rottingdean have more of a right to protest about Falmer than the Falmer residents themselves.

But surely those people would already be using the Falmer Road to drive to the Park and Ride at Mill Road? They surely wouldn't drive through the centre of Brighton to do that when the by-pass is so much quicker. I don't see what would be different.

But thats for a crowd of under 7000, it could potentially treble the amount of traffic.
I'm hoping there will be shuttle buses from Peacehaven and Saltdean on match days (a bloody train track would be nice though). I live in Saltdean and I'll be buggered if I'm driving to a game when Falmer is built where we will have our own restaurants and bars

My bit is. I overlook the golf course and can see the Downs and the river in the distance.
Superb views, 5 mins from the sea. Quiet neighbours.
What more could anyone ask?

Am I missing something here? I thought that the people of Peacehaven and Telscombe Cliffs would go to Newhaven and get on a train using their ticket/travel pass.The Wookiee said:

Along the A259 and up Freshfield Road to the Racecourse Park & Ride. You'd be crazy to attempt Woodingdean cross-roads.The Wookiee said:

Rottingdean. Is that the same palce where the yoths on a Friday night take up the local plods time by having mini riots.
I have been to Rottingdean a couple of times, at random, on a Friday, and it was bedlam. I suggest they sort their own problems out first before they cast aspersions elsewhere.

I wonder where they would live if they hadn't expanded Rottingdean and built up what used to be a beautiful nature spot.

top comment Lord B.
Of course, if the stadium was built at say, Sheepcote valley, then all the traffic from the a23 would come via falmer road and through woodingdean.
and if it was built at waterhall, toads hole etc. then the race hill would be too far away to be a park and ride and we would all go via the falmer road through rottingdean, woodingdean and past falmer.
trouble is though, there's nowt as blind as someone who doesn't want to see!

I live in saltdean.
Within the last 5 years I have tried on three occasions to meet with rottingdean parish council and try and correct their views.
They didn't refuse. They simply didn't respond!
I did however meet the former chairman of the parish council in a pub one evening (in early 2002) and he advised that they objected to the planning applications without even reading them. They did it because Falmer asked them 'and us villages need to stick together'.
I reminded him that Rottingdean was a suburb of Brighton and that combined with Saltdean it was really a town. I also mentioned that his house was built on downland (as are all in this area). In fact, far more beautiful land than Falmer as we were where the downs met the sea.
He didn't want to talk after that.
