Exactly, it's got more of a purpose that just football. They wouldn't have built them otherwise.

Yep but that is to service the shops more so than the stadium. They will not build a station for a stadium that is only used 23ish times a year.

Plus the number of people using a station for Bolton or Arsenal would far exceed thos going to the Albion.

That too. If the rail companies won't make a profit within a certain time scale, they won't build it.
Railway stations for football stadia
Derby hasn't got one, neither has Reading.
Bolton's railway station and new road was built after the stadium.
This is in the Pende plan. It is a fact that Railtrack will not build a railway station until their are sufficient customers to justify it (i.e. 250,000 or thereabouts.)
In this respect, Falmer has the distinct advantage.
Not having a a railway station (or the possibility of one) is not a fatal flaw, but a very strong indication. I cannot see anyway that in the long term, a proper football stadium could be justified without a railway station.
There are not enough buses and drivers.

We're not and since JP's criteria says any proposed alternative must be affordable it will fail. End of.Yoda said:WHERE ARE WE GOING TO FIND THE MONEY FOR ALL OF THIS?? ?? ?? ??

THIS IS VERY SERIOUS INDEED MR HORTON...ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT SOMEONE MAY HAVE USED YOUR PAPERS AGAINST YOUR EXPRESS PERMISSION...IF THIS IS SO, ARE YOU GOING TO PERSUE THIS. I THINK IT WOULD BE DREADFULL IF SOMETHING WAS PRESENTED AT THE INQUIRY BY ONE OF THE PROTAGIONISTS THAT IT TURNS OUT WAS USED WITHOUT PERMISSION

Maybe I'm dim, or maybe my brain is just overloaded at reading all this, but if you say that you cannot see that a stadium without a railway station could be justified, doesn't that rule out Shoreham Airport and the cement works? Which brings us back to Falmer, which has the best raillway connection of ALL the sites ever mentioned (except possibly Brighton station!)

Oh No - where is Nefarious ? Is that another site ?

good on you
I am very glad you feel this way, as it would be awful if someone used your work to promote something that is as essential to the future of our club.
I am confidant that if anything appeared at the enquiry that had in fact been "lifted" from any investigations you had made into the suitability and feasability of "pende" you will of course be the first to bring this to the notice of the authorities running the inquiry.
i now go home confident in the fact that you had nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that the two new sites had been mentioned.
I unreservedly apologise for any slur on your good name I may have made and look forward to the inquiry and also to the information the other parties will be presenting to the PE, which of course will not have any of your finding in it at all. It will be interestng to see what they come up with won't it.
All the best

It certainly rules out (in my opinion) Sheepcote Valley, Shoreham Harbour, Toad's Hole, Waterhall ...
I am not trying to pull over anybody's eyes. Falmer has an adequate railway station.
Pende falls short of the required number of passengers at a maximum of something like 150,000 a year for football supporters alone.
Therefore, as someone quite rightly said, it would not be justified on its own. This would not pass the scrutiny board of a local Council, let alone a Public Inquiry.
