Thought this was another Barber Idea of making money by auctioning off car parking spaces for each game.

I spoke to someone at 10:30 this morning and was told that the proprietor was having a meeting with his solicitor. They said to call back at lunchtime, which I've done, but no one is picking up! The situation is becoming farcical!
What's the issue?

That's just it, they're not really communicating what the problem is! They initially came up with some nonsense about the unauthorised use of the club's logo. I suspect it's planning related. As a chartered town planner I've offered my services, but no one replies to any emails and when someone does pick up the phone they know nothing about the matter!

I've just received the following email
After a lengthy meeting today we have still not fully resolved the issue of Matchday Parking and therefore regret to inform you that parking for the Stoke game tonight will not be possible. If you wish to be refunded please advise us by email and we will process your details. Alternatively if you would rather continue to wait for the matter to be concluded we will hold your ticket open and refund you for matchdays that you have missed.

Who owns this now? Was Mike Holland wasn't it? Or is that the farm?

I've been dealing with Keith Miles, but I don't know if he owns the land.

Thanks for the update. Bloody annoying.
I don't think Mike Holland owned that part just the barns and building on he left before the auctions rooms. Used to park there but that's now all locked up.

Brighton and Hove City Council own the land. The farmer Eric Huxham rents the barns and the land off the Council. Falmer Auctions sublet their barn and part of the car park off Eric Huxham. The name Eric Huxham may be familiar to you as he was once chairman of Falmer Parish Council and an anti Amex campaigner. Although he was an anti Falmer campaigner he is certainly not averse to making money out of the car park with Keith Miles so Huxham is not the problem. As I have stated from the start it is a planning issue. You should take anything Keith Miles says with a pinch of salt. Any lengthy meetings with solicitors are most probably entirely in his head. He has already been less than honest by using the club logo issue as an excuse.
