Heard that it's a yes to Falmer. Thank God common sense has prevailed. Let's hope the incompetent District Council stop wasting our money with vindictive, pathetic appeals, and let's get the thing built. A day to celebrate in Brighton and Lewes.

The whole of England was "countryside" before we built on it....things change. Learn to live with change and move on.

Make your mind up....you either want buildings or countryside. You can of course have a mix of both providing you don't mind the occasional ploughed field being built on in a similar way that the occasional deralict building site is turned back into countryside

When will Lewes residents see this for the silver lined cloud it is? Brighton is 3 train stations away, Lewes is 1. Many footballing families will probably prefer to stay in sleepy Lewes than rowdy Lewes and only be one stop away on the train.
Hotelliers and Lewes Tourist Board should make the most of this excellent opportunity to really put Lewes on the map for good things within the footballing community. Visiting fans could prove a very nice money spinner for Lewes.
SEAGULLS!!

Can i just say that all you residents of Lewes should make sure your council tax money is spent more wisely, and hope that no more of it is wasted on appealing again, i'm sure there are much more needy causes in your lovely town.
A big thanks to all those that supported our cause for a new stadium.

What you rather have there? A stadium that's in use for a few hours about 30 times a year, or a hypermarket in use 24/7 with all its artics?

I Call for all Falmer & Lewes Residents to put this terrible decision behind them. Its time to move on, so lets all join together and welcome Brighton & Hove Albion into our community, after all we are going to be neighbours very soon and i for one think it will be better to work together than to be rivals. The better team won fair and square. This whole sorry saga has gone on far to long, so come lets be friends !

Yes - good result for all of us Lewes residents.
Now, can our council tax please be spent on Flood defences rather than having it wasted on this ridiculous campaign against the people of Brighton.
On 24 Jul 2007 at 2:16pm ExiledfromLewes wrote:
You want your council tax spent on flood defences? What council services would you want to be cut to afford that. Flood defences are the responsibility of DEFRA and central Government, which is already subsidised by the tax payer through income tax and national insurance. Seven years after the floods I certainly wouldn't want another form of taxation used to fill the funding gap, when as a taxpayer we have subsidised DEFRA over the past seven years to enact the changes that are needed.

How is that a invaild argument Spotty Dog?
All Andy stated was that progress goes on, and indeed he is correct that untill it was built on there was nothing here in the southeast but fields.
The simple fact is that where the stadium is being built is nothing more that a field. There is nothing beautiful about it and its next door to main road and a university.
The Issue should now be put to rest. the stadium is on its way. Brighton and Hove albion have 5.2 million to start building with....And I for one am glad.
Fields are 10 a penny, and its not like its a flood plane.
