It appears the season of peace and goodwill is well and truly over.

Further to C Ayres' letter (January 10), I felt I had to respond.

I can't believe another attack has been launched on Brighton and Hove Albion. People are continually trying to pick holes in the club's best efforts to minimise parking disruption on match days.

Would C Ayres prefer a free-for-all system in which her road and surrounding roads could be badly affected?

As for everything revolving around the club, in case C Ayers hasn't noticed, the Albion has been locked in various planning processes for longer than I care to remember, suggesting not everything does revolve around the club.

I wish residents would see beyond the Albion as just a football club.

Football is a pastime of many thousands of residents, the club is an independent employer and an asset to Brighton and Hove.

A little give and take is not too much to ask, is it?
