This isn't about me, and I don't see why one has to present credentials to speak on NSC, but for the record I saw my first Albion match in 1967, and over the years watched Sully, Ward and Fozzie in their prime (my favourite players). After the sell-off, I was a regular at Gillingham and went to...

I think this is correct. Chartwell availed themselves of the 1993 outline planning permission and bought the ground in July 1995. It was the leased back to the club for two seasons. The Albion finally lost the ground in May 1997. It was sold on in 1998 for the amount you say. The ground had...

Your last post clarifies things for me. Lord Bracknell. But what is the fascinating reading, and is it in the public domain now ? What we will perhaps never know is at what point the owner of the club at that time spotted the opportunity to avail himself of the 'phantom' planning permission...

I am not suggesting sweeteners, Albionite, as my first post clearly states. But the plot thickens. The Tory dominated Planning Committee issued a warning to the 'Albion supporters'. According to the papers, a second application was presented to Hove Council in February1993. This was the...
