Mr Beck of Lewes says he cannot see where the jobs would be created in a new, permanent, all-seated stadium with executive boxes (Letters, February 24).

Firstly, it is a community stadium, which means the facilities will be available to the local community seven days a week.

This means an infrastructure requirement for permanent staff - Mr Beck lives in the rich town of Lewes whereas the estate of Moulsecoomb, which is next door to the proposed stadium, will benefit from these extra job opportunities:

1 Football - professional or educational;

2 Administration staff - ticketing etc;

3 Catering;

4 Commercial sponsorship, etc;

5 Other events beside football outside concerts, etc;

6 Ground staff;

7 Conference facilities;

8 Laundering facilities;

9 Executive boxes;

10 Daily visits - it will be a tourist attraction etc.

This is only a selection of the jobs that will be created in this new community stadium.

Some of these exist in a limited way at the temporary football stadium at Withdean but that was built for athletics and will return to this use when the new stadium is built.
