Benetts Field Parking Row Resolved

[Bry Nylon]

Rather have a couple of new singings than a car park.

If they're anything like our recent signings I think I'd rather have a car park.

Someone told you what figure Creaky was imagining the club paid?

He knows the equation I used to work it out!

Looks like new access roads to and from Benetts field so I will be paying to park there, the club knows its not suitable as it is, I think there will be a new way out, enabling easier/safer exiting after the game

If it means I can get back into the Uni then I'm very happy.

You can stick the Bridge car park.

It will be interesting where that will come out, as if it feeds directly on to Woodingdean road, then I can see that causing even worse tailbacks as it affects not only those coming out of village way, but also those coming down Woodingdean road. What about people wanting to turn right out of the bennetts field car park from a slip road? I assume they will come out , turn left and spin around the roundabout?

Mr Bennett is an extremely wealthy man, he really doesn't rely on the income from Bennetts field in any way. From what I understand, he dug his heels in after the clubs lawyers started dictating to him what they were going to pay.

Good on him.

I would not be vaguely surprised if the club tried to bully him

That's an interesting version of events. The version I have is that the land owner thought he had the club over a barrel and put the price up by c300%. He was then somewhat surprised when the club said "no thanks" and walked away.

I do not know what the final resolution has been but as the club seem to have got on fine without it, my money would be on the poker player winning this one.

I know nothing, but I would assume there will be no right turn.
What ever they do it has to be an improvement on the current situation, having said that though, I parked in Benetts Field for the last home game and was back in Crawley by 6.45.

Well, I'm just relaying what somebody told me who works for the club and gives the impression he's ITK.

Yeah but not one you could see from outer space.

How cool would that be.

Well the match ball is still up there following Leo's penalty miss against Middlesbrough last season.

won't be an issue in L1 !!

sorry if already posted

I don't think we even need it. It has been much much better without people parking there this season. Why should the lazy ruin it for the rest of us!?

Should just be for the elderly and disabled. No need for anyone else to use it.
