I can't speak for East Sussex County Council or the Green Party but I can tell you every muddy field is of more value than we realise, for they are the last part of our common heritage and must be preserved. Those clamouring for a stadium at Falmer are

Teenager Chris McPhee was handed the task of deputising for Bobby Zamora at Withdean. Albion boss Peter Taylor gave the 18-year-old striker from Eastbourne his full League debut in place of goal ace Zamora for the visit of relegation-threatened Wrexham
Relegation-threatened Wrexham matched up to the Seagulls by also playing 4-3-3. Blackwood started on the left with Sam to the right of leading marksman Faulconbridge. They started that way in last Saturday's last gasp 2-1 defeat at Queens Park Rangers

Lord Bassam must surely address himself to at least a couple of inconsistencies in his urging that a community stadium be built at Falmer. He says such a stadium will be "stunning". Exactly. Those who walk upon the Downs do not wish to be stunned. There
