Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Remember when some of us were arguing the toss with that CACKBADGER Septicman (or antifalmer as he is known on here) on the Argus reply forums over his assertion that B&HCC had spent \\\\\\\"at least double\\\\\\\" that of LDC on the public inquiry ? Well, I emailed B&HCC a few weeks back to ask them what their costs were so I could shut him up. I;ve just had this reply from BH&CC:
Dear Dave,
I apologise for the delay in replying to your original question. This was partly due to key people being on leave.
The answer to your question is that a total of £62,583 was incurred by this council over the course of the two public inquiries in 2003 and 2005.
I hope this is helpful.

So there ya go. £62,583. The article that triggered this little debate off was this one
http://www.theargus.co.uk/search/display.var.1574417.0.140_000_spent_on_falmer_fight.php
where is was revealed that LDC had spent £140,000 on lawyers fees fighting the stadium. Oh, and here is Septicmans post, that he later refused point blank to back up with any FACTS, claiming that he had researched this for himself and that we should do the same.

If the Argus were to make some enquiries of the council in Brighton & Hove, they would find they have spent at least double that of LDC.
We all knew he was blowing it out of his arse, but its nice to get the official confirmation, like. Maybe he just got confused, and meant to say that B&HCCs costs were LESS THAN HALF those of LDCs ? The article on the Argus is dead and buried now, so not worth replying on there now. Maybe he antifalmer is still lurking on here and can perhaps explain himself ?
