So, a TV presenter, an international DJ, unelected peers and a group of MPs have sent letters to John Prescott in support of building a football stadium at Falmer.
The inquiry by a planning inspector was completed in October and will be submitted to Mr Prescott in January for him to make a decision on the stadium.
Both sides had plenty of opportunities to put their case during the inquiry and the decision should be based on the report alone.
Post-October pressure should be ignored and the offending parties should be ashamed of themselves as their actions could be seen as attempting to pervert the course of justice.
