In reply to Richard Inverarity (Letters, January 26), I have been a supporter of Brighton and Hove Albion for 50 years and was present at the last match at the Goldstone, digging up a piece of turf as a souvenir.

Planted in my garden, it subsequently died, evidently being a premonition Falmer was not the place to be.

We shall continue to plough the fields and scatter Seagulls to a location far from here, more suitable and less likely to destroy our village.
