Yeah they will I expect for many the Village has been their home for many years. So why gloat. The club won permission for the Stadium - Fantastic - But people who don't even live in or contribute to the area gloating and goading the locals and rubbing their noses in it, just isn't on.

Spot on fella.

Do you have a beard and wear a tweedy type jacket with leather elbow patches by any chance.

Yes they do. I had a fine pint of Palmers best.

Had a pleasent afternoon yesterday sampling the beer in the Swan. Listening to some regulars there's still a lot of resentment from the locals about the new stadium. The general opinion was anywhere but falmer would have been ok.

Yes NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard!).

I never really understood why they objected to the stadium so strongly. The impact of crowd for a game once every two weeks is nothing compared to carving the village in two with a four lane main road. Personally I wouldnt live there because of the road - if you can put up with that, you can live with the fans once in a while.

The battle is lost and the locals should live with it and if they had half a brain they would turn it to their advantage.

In particular the landlord should sod the locals and focus on profit. Get SKY in and make it a football friendly pub. Do special meal deals with a pint etc

If you live locally and have space on your driveway you could hire it out on match days. Apparently there is a web site where you can advertise your parking.

They'll hate it once we start playing then.

maybe I ought to put in a silly offer for one of the houses then?
