Falmer Stadium Latest: Ancient woodland to make way for car park From The Argus)

Hopefully the link works, great, just the sort of news we don't want. Before you no it, swampy and his mates will be descending on Falmer

TB will just pay for them to F-off. We're rich now.

 

[The Large One]

I feel a summertime mass tear-up with the great unwashed coming on...

 

[Trigger]

Bring on the CRUSTY UNWASHED brown trousered sandal wearing tree huggers on site anytime soon then... We can all go and make them shit themselves by throwing bars of soap at them!

 

[CHAPPERS]

I can only assume this 'Copse' car park is the one closest to Village Way and I'm f***ed if there is 'ancient woodland' there.

 

[Notters]

It's a remnant woodland, not attached by corridors to any other woodland so practically worthless.

Its so long snce we've had someone we can go and have a bloody good rant at, this could be just the thing. Bring em on!

 

[Taybha]

nobody reads the argus so we should be ok unless it goes on to the internet! Oh

 

[Gwylan]

No mention of the ancient and far bigger woodland that was demolished to build the Brighton by-pass then?

 

[Wardy]

Though from what I read the spaces are not for us, they are to replace Brighton Uni ones that they are losing on land that they are giving us.

 

[Caveman]

This is scare mongering journalism at its best. Where is this ancient woodland then? Talk about put the cat amongst the pigeons, that article is designed for one thing and that is to cause a reaction. Disgusting imo.

 

[Insider]

This is a total non-story. The Uni car park, on the left as you drive into the Uni, is being extended (to compensate for spaces being taken out by the stadium). What looks like about 3 small trees from over 100 will be cut down to make way for the extension. Martin Perry is currently on annual leave, but as soon as we can make contact, we may put an official statement out clarifying the position.

"Brighton and Hove Albion will demolish part of an ancient woodland for the next stage of work at the new Falmer Stadium." Could they start it any more emotively? They make it sound like the playing staff themselves are going up there armed with chainsaws and shredders.

FFS - who's got editorial control there? Are they a friend of the club or an enemy? From my biased point of view, any bollocks about 'balance' can be f***ed right off - get behind the club or don't come and report on the games, you splitters. They're quite happy to splash the club all over front or back page when it suits them - let's see how they'd react to being told they can't come to Falmer to report on the games unless they park their cars on that very car park. I suspect they'd put their morals to one side then.

thanks for the info Insider... as soon as i saw read the article i thought what ancient wood, do they mean the one where there is already a car park? is it even ancient or modern copse plantation (as the name suggests...)

looking at the Google map stattelite it occurs to me its extending the existing car park to 61 spaces, because there aren't that many spaces "around an area of the campus which the university will hand over " other than that car park itself.

have to laugh at the nimby green numb nut responces. they've clearly never been there and have no idea.

someone needs to highlight on the argus comments that the spaces arent actually for the stadium but the college. amazing how a sensationalist headline and ignorance combines to give a completly different story, anyone who actually read the story could have worked this out.

 

[Stat Brother]

A crusty invasion could spell the end of our club.
We can fairly safely say there isn't a 'crew' we haven't run away from, over the years.

Hey, we're lovers not fighters.

But for our 'hardcore & yoof development squad' (whose name escapes me), to be seen running away from Shaggy weilding nothing more than a pair of baggy, stained y-fronts. We might as well kiss goodbye to the club, as we'd never be able to hold our heads up, again.

 

[Gazwag]

That was a quick amendment to the story...........

In a message posted on the Albion fans chatroom website North Stand Chat, a club insider said: "About three small trees from over 100 will be cut down to make way for the extension.

"Martin Perry (Albion's chief executive) is currently on annual leave, but as soon as we can make contact we may put an official statement out clarifying the position."

3 trees , the Argus story makes it look like a whole forest was going to be felled.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Just goes to prove that NSC provides the Argus with the news

 

[warsaw]

Wouldn't it be a good idea to pin this cracking piece of journalism on the journalist concerned? It's the sort of sensationalist crap that the Argus has continued to peddle since the stadium was first mooted
