The government won't back down on this and i think FPC know that to.

I'm perfectly sure you're right. But let this be a warning to any soft-hearted Seagulls out there. Don't ever forget. Or ever forgive. The NIMBYS wanted to kill our club at any cost, and are in the same bracket as Archer. So screw them. No surrender. All this hand of friendship stuff - bollocks to it. If they don't like it, they can move. Sod 'em all, they'll get no pity from me. They spun lie after lie in the hope we'd go broke. Well we didn't, and they should have learnt by now. We're made of tough stuff. And God is a seagull's fan. So NEVER. EVER. F*** with the Albion.
could not have put it better, f*** them all

Portly, that's the most sensible post you've ever made on here

I agree that the Government wont back down..........but all FPC( and until now LDC) want to do, is delay the process. A request for a Judicial Review will probably put the stadium back another year, and despite the Club saying that we will not go broke during this time, it will become increasingly more difficult to retain the present hardcore of 5,000 supporters, or indeed to attract new supporters for the future.
I'm not sure of the actual details here but if FPC do appeal and it is without the planning council , then it can be classed as vexatious. I think the judge can ask for the money to be paid up front?
I'm sure someone said that the Withdean lot tried that and backed down when asked to do the same.
Hopefully ROSM or Lord B can elaborate?

They'll take it to the last day they can appeal and then back off. It's scaremongering thats all.

It depends what they challenge on.
Who knows, they could have the most urbane of silks who has found a flaw which could bring the whole process crashing down.
Somehow, I doubt it - but you never know.

The lawyer they are hiring is the same one as the one that briefed LDC. Presumably the same one that advised LDC that resistance is futile (I like that phrase).
He couldn't find anything for moneybags LDC. Is he gonna find anything for poor little FPC/Downsmen and sad, sad Sue who lives in a shoe with all her children in Mile Oak?
I doubt it too.
The Large One
Who's Next?
The legal case for challenging the decision is one thing - and LDC are still insisting (rightly or wrongly) that the decision is flawed. However, they also have to consider the political implications as well.
Unfortunately, Falmer Parish Council don't - not to the same degree.

The South Downs Campaign, eh?
I expect Mr Burt might be somewhat disappointed to know that Chris Todd, Campaigns Officer for the South Downs Campaign, has already made his position very clear:-
"I personally accept the decision even if I feel it is the wrong one".

Home at Last.
Sorry, but pissed as I am, news from the Hartington, is that the Cutress family have accepted the decision, and will not put in any funding to fight the present decision.
