I was wondering what peoples reaction would be towards Dick Knight if the Falmer scheme is turned down.Would they consider the failure his fault for relying so much on a site that was controversial from the very beginning or would they say he had done the right things with the right site and that the failure to reach the promised land was down to others.

Knight & Perry have put £5m/£6m into this and also their hearts and souls, would'nt blame them at all.
They done all they could.....

Without Dick Knight we might not even have a club now fighting to get a ground at Falmer. The man has my utmost respect and gratitude forever.

There's only one Dick Knight!
I get fed up with people always dissing him on SCR. Without him where the hell would we be?

No matter which way the decision goes, Dick Knight can hold his head up and be proud of what he's done. The man's done everything he possibly can to secure us a home for the next hundred years. If it all goes pear-shaped, then take it out on the disgusting pond-life NIMBY scum and this country's f***ed-up planning laws, but Dick Knight should be given a standing ovation and The Freedom Of The City

IMHO Famler is still a pipe dream and Silent was responsible for the stupidity of putting all his eggs in one basket without plan B (hopefully he will prove me wrong_ though despite what other think IMHO Falmer is a clear YES, thats not the difficult hurdle, actually financing and building it will and that IMHO is doomed to failure

We wouldn't have got Withdean if he hadn't had a plan for some permanent stadium. Falmer was the best. I blame the English legal system and our small-minded, anti -sport culture.
Dick Knight has put more money into our club than Mike Bamber ever did; Bamber simply raised loans which we struggled to repay over the years until Greg and Bill took over.
If Brighton was in France we would have a municipal stadium with a 20,000 capacity.

Controversial ?
Have you ever tried to get a beach hut painted blue and white (broad stripes, of course).
They say you can have any colour as long as it is white.
By the way, what is the colour/tint of the translucent roof for Falmer?

Dick Tight says there is no plan B if Falmer gets kicked out but even Stevie Wonder can see that if Falmer is rejected then Withdean will be upgraded and that will be our permanent home.
As for Dick Tight false prophet, the emperors new clothes more like.
