Congratulations, Mr Black, you have won this week's award for stating the obvious.

We know the Albion are losing money - it has never been a secret. That's why we need to build the stadium at Falmer.

I suggest, in order not to win the prize again, you visit the exhibition at Hove Town Hall due at the end of the month to acquaint yourself with the facts regarding the financing and construction of this much-needed amenity if the city of Brighton and Hove is to regard itself as a true city.

By the way, Mr Black, a scruffy, muddy field next to some ugly Sixties' buildings

is hardly an area of natural beauty.
