Albion to showcase Falmer wedding plans (From The Argus)

Reminds me of the proposal on the pitch at Stoke last week, which prompted Albion fans to chant: "You don't know what you're doing!"
Good luck to the couple.

Football crowds can be ruthless. Wasn't there a h-t proposal at west ham once when 10,000 chorused "does she take it up the..." to spoil the happy couples' moment? Why, why would you risk this?!!

Makes a change to see a normal marriage taking place down there for once.
Good luck to them

What's life like when you're a small minded bigot from Southampton? You don't have too much going for you do you?

Proof once again (if more were needed) of the place the Albion have in the hearts of the community. Shame on all those who opposed the stadium.

Define the word community. I distinctly remember that whenever the stadium was mooted for a different site other than Falmer, the communities there were very quick to state why it wouldn't work in that location. The pro-stadium supporters were as much NIMBY's as those at the Falmer site.

More nonsense from a stadium NIMBY. The reason other sites were rejected is not difficult to understand-they were all unsuitable. Communities didn't reject the idea of The Albion building at alternative sites-but you already know that. All alternative sites were totally unworkable. Understand that? Unworkable! Simple really. Those sites still are, and always will be unworkable. As usual, a NIMBY distorts what actually happened.
Time for you people to move on-the stadium is opening in 6 months and your constant bleating is not going to change that.
Is Septictank still on here? Remember him? "The Stadium Will Never Be Built". I think Plantpot might be Septic's new identity. Spouts the same drivel anyway.

Yet more re-writing of history. The first enquiry, run by two inspectors, found that the stadium failed the test of need in every respect. No other sites were considered at this enquiry. HOWEVER, before Falmer was chosen as the only site available, there had been speculation regarding other sites. It was at this time, and also before the second enquiry that many voices were heard rejecting the stadium at their locations.

One of the main reasons Falmer was chosen, I am sure, was because the vast majority of people quite rightly don't want a stadium anywhere near them - although they are of course quite happy to use it if it is somewhere that doesn't inconvenience them. Just about every stadium application is opposed by residents here in the UK. Brighton and Hove would have been no different. The reason it took so long to get Falmer built is because firstly it was sited on designated AONB, and secondly because it was partly on LDC land. LDC fought the application on the basis of the rules and the wishes of its residents. If the Secretary Of State were not allowed discretion, the stadium would not now be at Falmer. All of which shows the planning system as being rather flawed.

By the way, as to the comment about the stadium never being built - yet more nonsense. We all knew it was going to be built regardless of the outcome of the planning enquiries, because ultimately it came down to a political decision, not an application of the regulations. We were also right about there being no business plan that would be funded by banks or other institutions. You are very lucky to have Tony Bloom. On the other hand, even without him, there would still be a B&H Albion, perhaps not in the form that you would wish, as it would have to cut its cloth according to the amount of cash generated via its customers and sponsors.

I am looking forward to it opening BUT that does not mean I would not have preferred it nearer to us ie Waterhall or next to Brighton Station, mind you I am a sad old git who misses the Goldstone and ending the match with 20000 plus walking out whilst the police stopped the traffic on Sackville Road
Happy Days indeed

Septictank is back under a new name. Your repetitive drivel and fabrications are proof. I am not going to enter into a tit for tat battle with you, it's been done to death. It has been proven that you NIMBYs distorted the truth at every opportunity-otherwis
e there'd be no stadium going up on the ONLY suitable site within the boundaries of B&H. You even try and use (still) the discredited first enquiry as part of your nonsense but ignore the second one.
Have a nice life Septic, enjoy the daily views of our magnificent new home. Oh, and please stop calling it Falmer, it isn't in that 'split in two by a by-pass village'. It is in Brighton-its name is The Amex. The only part in LDC's fiefdom is the ruddy coach park.
Another thing, there WAS a funding plan in place until the collapse of the banking system: thankfully, Tony Bloom stepped in as he always intended if there was a funding problem. If you took the blinkers off you'd know that-it's out there in the public domain.
And yes Septic, you did regularly boast that the stadium would never be built-I hope you have to pass it every day of the rest of your life.

Given that the first post you made wasn't amusing, why did you feel the need to post it twice? A Little Weed maybe?
