I think Falmer is 10 acres and the Goldstone was 14, or something like that.
It would make SO much more sense to have a football ground there and a retail park on the outskirts of the townThat's settled then. Let's DO it!
But the Retail Park has been there for years.
It's a fixture of the community.
There will be quite some protest if we try to rip it down, in favour of just a soccerball pitch.

Maybe it could groundshare with the Savacentre in Gillingham for a couple of years?

I've never had any problem driving by the Goldstone site. Old Shoreham Road was always there.
But I'll never set foot on the "Goldstone Retail Park". (ugh). Okay, so my car is serviced at Becks in Newtown Road, but there always was a garage at that site.
So, my conscience is clear. Interesting to see how other people rationalise this thorny question though.

I've never driven past it and I don't think I ever will. I promised myself that would change when Falmer happened, but in my mind, going down the Shoreham Road means to see the Brighton Aces, not visit bloody Toys R Us. Too many memories, I really don't want to see a retail park on such an integral part of my younger life. All that said, I've never blamed the shops, only Archer and Bellotti. Now the hatred has gone but the memories remain and that's what I'm quite happy with.
