Good to see a thoughtful balanced post like this, aware of his failings but also aware of the impact on his family and the impact it must have had on him.

err...try reading the post again, makes it clear that John Austin is not a Lib Dem but a member of another party. In fact looks like he was a Labour MP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Austin_(politician)

Let's not forget, whatever else we think of David Bellotti and his time at the club, that two children, who cannot be blamed for what happened, have lost their father.

Anyone know if there is any public information out there on how much American Express paid in naming rights for the Amex (and if known the training ground?) Have seen a previous post on NSC referring to £4.5 million for 10 years for the Amex itself.... Realise the club officially have not...

Nonsense - given the derision poured on all opponents of the stadium at the time, anything they said would not have been listened to. But as some people warned at the time, Norman Baker has a habit of getting things right...I bet you someone on the board was considering it even if they hadn't...

Every chance it could happen, the current government are re-opening the Oxford to Bedford line so there is a recent precedent. He is a good constituency MP (even people quoted in the We Want Falmer book admit that) and has a very good chance of getting re-elected.

You refer to the "council" delaying the building of the hotel - would this be the current Conservative administration on Lewes District (Lib Dems are the opposition) or the current Green administration on Brighton and Hove?

You're imagining it. He did like his whisky but has never been violent towards anybody.

Don't agree with him on Falmer but he is a good local MP for Lewes and surrounding area, would much rather keep him than some idiot with a blue rosette.

A very good and really honest post. Good luck to you.

I can. He got us improved train services to where I live.

of course, disagreed with him over Falmer....

I'm now living in his constituency and he is a hard working local MP - just as I understand he always was.

Just what I was thinking!

I've got my name on the waiting list; anyone have a rough idea when any one day only tickets will be available?

So is there an agreement that the club has with the council regarding the state it has to be left in? EG re-grassing the old south stand area etc?

Ann De Vecchi didn't stand for election this time. 4 Tory gains from Lib Dems were all very close and suspect this council may well change hands again in the future...

Nonsense. Who are these "pundits"? They are talking utter nonsense.

Take a look at the Loot newspaper - also on line - normally some good options there tho' the best ones go very quickly. Balham/Clapham North also has quite a few places for rent.

Worth saying (once again) that not all Lib Dems opposed Falmer. In fact some of us lobbied inside the party for Lewes Lib Dems to drop their opposition to the stadium (eventually meeting with success) and don't forget the Brighton and Hove Lib Dem councillors always voted for the stadium. Other...
