I support the planning application for a community stadium at Village Way South.

As a resident of Westdene, I was originally opposed to the football club moving on to my door step at the Withdean stadium but now, three years later, they are most welcome neighbours.

Our way of life has not been affected by these guests and I realise how well thought-out the move by the club was.

Everything they promised to alleviate our fears has been delivered, so I feel we can trust the Albion with their promises.

My original selfish thoughts would have prevented the club from surviving.

We should therefore cast aside our doubts over the community stadium and let the benefits be enjoyed by all.

Falmer village will have no regrets and I am sure will reap the benefits.
