Sally Gunnell is right to express concern that unless the Government releases cash to improve our sporting facilities, we will win few medals in the 2012 London Olympics.
Brighton and Hove Albion is temporarily residing at Withdean Stadium, which could be brought up to scratch to serve as a training ground for the Olympics. This is another point in the case for Falmer.
However, we should not neglect other sports and cycling is one lacking in facilities in the South.
An indoor stadium, along the lines of the one built in Manchester, is required and what better place than the run-down facilities at Preston Park, Brighton?
With the proposed international ice rink at Black Rock these facilities would definitely put our city on the sporting map.
