The interesting thing is that, at the Public Inquiry, the Club produced photographs of cars parked on grass verges in Hangleton as evidence that Toads Hole Valley would be unacceptable as a stadium site.

That's the point! This discussion can't be just about what should or should not be "allowed" in Coldean. The issue is how are fans going to get to and from matches. A good proportion are travelling by car. Ideally, park & ride would serve them well. But if the park & ride sites are a...
