This is North Stand Chat quoting the Argus quoting North Stand Chat...

"North Stand Chat, the popular fans' internet chat site, went into meltdown today as anticipation grew ahead of the verdict..."

"Despite the intense Whitehall secrecy, there was a theme running among postings to the fans' website.

One fan wrote "I think there will be some attempt made at a compromise. It'll be a "Yes, but..." and the club will have to look at other sites in a formal manner - maybe even another enquiry. I can't believe this government can make a clear-cut decision without trying to find a way to please everybody a bit (and end up annoying everyone)"

Another said: "If I were to put money on it, I would say the decision would be a "Yes, but..."

"The only reason I can think of for this decision to have taken so long is that it's actually quite an unusual decision"

We should have a competition to see who can come up with the most outrageous story to be published from the site.If you think of one pm a few people to agree and see if it makes the paper.

Fans wait for Albion stadium decision

by "ADAM TRIMINGHAM" (with help from the people who know)

THE long-awaited decision on a new community stadium for Brighton and Hove Albion is expected tomorrow.

A decision has been made today by Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott and the main parties involved will be told by post in the morning.

North Stand Chat, the popular fans’ internet chat site, went into meltdown today as anticipation grew ahead of the verdict.

The judgement comes after a long-running public inquiry into the 22,000-seat stadium at Village Way North in Falmer.

The Government called it in for inquiry after Brighton and Hove City Council had granted approval. Another inquiry was held into the local plan, which included the site, and that inspector ruled against the Falmer stadium.

The report of the inspector who held the Falmer inquiry was delivered weeks ago to Mr Prescott who has taken his time in making a decision.

There has been strong secrecy over the result and none of the parties have been told anything in advance.

Mr Prescott and his advisers willhave taken great care to make sure the decision is legally watertight.

Ken Bodfish, leader of the council which backed the stadium at the inquiry, confirmed the imminent announcement and said: “We await the result with bated breath.”

Despite the intense Whitehall secrecy, there was a theme running among postings to the fans’ web site. One fan wrote: “I think there will be some attempt made at a compromise. It’ll be a ‘Yes, but ... ’ and the club will have to look at other sites in a formal manner – maybe even another inquiry.

“I can’t believe this government can make a clear-cut decision without trying to find a way to please everybody a bit (and end up annoying everyone).”

Another said: “If I were to put money on it, I would say the decision will be a ‘Yes, but ... ’ The only reason I can think of for this decision to have taken so long is that it’s actually quite an unusual decision.”


Albion were backed by many sports and business organisations who believe the stadium will be good for the city. However, there was strong and sustained opposition from conservation organisations and residents in Falmer.

The Seagulls are now playing their home matches at Withdean Stadium, which has a limited capacity.

On Sunday last week, thousands of fans braved rain for a victory parade as the club celebrated its third promotion in four years.

In May, Albion were promoted from Division Two after winning the play-off final at Cardiff.

Falmer was chosen from a list of other possible sites in the city, including Shoreham Harbour, Brighton station, Waterhall Valley, Toad’s Hole Valley and Sheepcote Valley.

Experts advised the club and council these sites either were not available or had far bigger disadvantages than Falmer.
