Seagulls Ska in Planning Magazine

Seagulls Ska has made the back page of Planning Magazine - The Journal of the Royal Town Planning Institute.

"Brighton fans resort to single release

Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club supporters have released a pop song in a bid to secure a new stadium. They have hit the top 20 with their fund-raising single Tom Hark (We Want Falmer).

Seagulls Ska released the record one month before a public inquiry reconvenes into proposals for as new stadium next to the University of Sussex. The single is a rewrite of the Piranhas' football anthem, with substitute lyrics supporting the club's four-year campaign for planning permission."

'Next to the University of Sussex...'

Only a railway line, major trunk road and basinful of 21-year-old pussy between the stadium site and the uni.

I like the phrase next to Sussex University because it gives the impression we are building next to existing structures whereas Falmer implies we are building it in a quaint olde english village and ruining an AONB.

You are right there, that is the only issue I have with the club and that is calling it Falmer, It should have been University or Moulscoombe, never mind to late now.

Indeed, we are building it where buildings currently stand!!
