If The Answer Is No

[sullyupthewing]

Would Prescott wait until the season is over to announce it knowing that if he said no during the season our next game would be very volatile with our track record (York), just a thought.
PLEASE PRESSA SAY YES:falmerspi

 

[burrish gull]

I think all hell will break loose if he says no, I'll definetly do something 'militant,' Brighton means too much too me to just sit on my arse

 

[Braders]

NOT GONNA HAPPEN LA LA LA


POSISTIVE THINKING


come one!!!!

 

[fleet]

Agree - positive thinking.

And what happens if it is no doesn't bear thinking about anyway.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

i keep reading this thread wrong, and thinking it says "the answer is no"

 

[Seagullsgonnagetya]

if he said no

Then he's got a riot on his hands

The thing that keeps coming back to haunt me is when Norman Baker said on the Phone in that on 86% of the times the Planning Inspector has said "NO" Prescott has backed him!!

I just hope we are one of the 14%

 

[Sorrel]

I don't think now is the right time to talk about a "no". It just encourages those making the decision to think it's something we may accept.

This is hardly a run-of-the-mill planning application of the sort that would normally find its way to Whitehall though. How many other applications would he deal with that has such a high profile groundswell of opinion in favour of it ? It could be a real political "hot potato" in Sussex, and the decision will probably be influenced as much by politics as the merits of the application itself (although that would obviously never be stated publically).

I would either jump of the office block where I work, the Orwell Bridge just outside Ipswich, or go to his office with Sausages strapped to my chest saying that I would blow us both up if he didn't change his answer to yes!!!

Only kidding of course, but would be very upset, and would probably turn the supposed "Area of Natural Beauty" at Falmer into a dump, whereby the nimbys would be begging for a purpose built community football ground to be built to tidy the place up a bit.

Just one of many thoughts.................

THINK POSITIVE

but.. if the unthinkable happens I think we have shown our ability
to mobilise support effectively and at very short notice.
No politician would ever admit to that being a consideration when
making a decision but it would always be in the back of of their minds.

What about the petrol strikes though?.The whole country ground to a halt and prescott had immense pressure on him to reduce fuel duty.What did he do...tell everyone to f*** emselves and pay it.

If the answer is no ............. Lets get to know the Falmer residents better.

That's quite funny for you Danny Boy

 

[East Preston Gull]

Think positive

Planning is just the legal stuff. The decision will be political and with the highest council tax bills due in brighton and hove the government will want to deflect attention......by granting us our stadium around the time when those bills are due to drop through the letterbox.

Sainsbury's and tesco's never seem to have problems when they want to build.Sainsbury's in rustington was built against much opposition and on asite tyhe same size as falmer...no problem

 

[FG aka Football Genius.]

i cant believe the club hasnt a plan B even DICk aint that stupid surely? in any case can see the atmosphere being very volatile and all needs is a goal conceeded in dodgy circumstances and a pitch invasion at the very least, dont think decision timing will be based on anything but when the government i mean looney lefties get round to it.

 

[SussexSpur]

On previous similar cases in the South, Prescott has said:

Barnet? No

Arsenal? Yes

Bastard.

But if it's out of three, he has the chance to redeem himself but keeping to his recent positive instincts (oh, and if he fancies reversing the Bees decision any time soon, that'd be nice too. . .)
