It must be hell for Martin Perry

[The Oldman]

We are moaning that we are fed up waiting but what must it be like for Martin Perry & Dick Knight? Years of their lives have been spent on the Falmer project and still they don't know whether it will succed. If the answer is "yes" then all the difficulties of financing the project etc still to come. Whatever the decision by Prescott no one could have done more for the club.

Also, as one of those who sat through most of the last enquiry we had a brilliant legal team (as did Brighton City council) putting forward the Falmer case. If the answer is no then no blame can be attached to them.

Then there are all those who have given of their own free time to support the cause. I salute them too, whatever the outcome.

Thanks Everyone. You could not have done more, whatever the decision

 

[enigma]

Agree wholeheartedly, they are heroes whatever the outcome.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Massive thank you to all.

The Key to the city?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Try Nicotinelle

 

[pasty]

I'll wager they probably know the answer already.

 

[Braders]

they say they don't have a clue though = whatever , thats another thread fair play to them

 

[Uncle Buck]

I'll wager they probably know the answer already.

How? If other interested parties such as the University of Brighton do not know and it affects them rather a lot, why are the club going to know?

I don't think everyone would see it that way. If Falmer does not get the goahead after spending all of our money on it for years, they are likely to get lynched!

 

[ShorehamGull]

Totally agree Gaffer mate.
All that time we spent sitting there at the inquiry listening to all the planning information and the total crap spoken by the Nimby's.
We had a excellent legal team and the atmosphere among the Albion supporters at the inquiry was fantastic and positive about the overall decision.

In my own opinion we will get a YES in the next two days.

I'm know there'll be a backlash if we lose, but in all honesty what was the alternative. It's not like they've led us down a difficult path when there was a much easier alternative.

Basically it's the board who've funded the cost of the enquiry with extra loans, the problems start if we don't get Falmer and they want their money back.

However, I'm sure it won't come to that.

I am pretty sure those loans are non refundable. Rather than loans they are closer to donations.

Yer right! and we have not been ripped-off with high ticket prices for below par players, and kept putting our hands in our pockets?

Coventry have a brand new ground and charge £21 a ticket so cheaper than Withdean. But of you look into it further you have topay £7 to use the Park and Ride. Makes Withdean ticket prices appear reasonable to me!

With a limited capacity ticket prices will be high, they arent high so that the club makes money, but to help to keep it just afloat! Since DK took over we have had boring season after boring season right? Get real!

How do you work that out? The park and ride should be free, it ain't worth paying for! Much better to park and walk, or let the train take the strain!
