That newly surfaced footpath through the woods from the Hikers Rest ...

It's a sad sign of the times if you blame the council for not clearing this up. What's wrong with people hanging on to their own litter until they can put it in a bin?
People these days seem to think they can just drop rubbish as they go, then moan about the fact that council budgets are stretched because money has to be 'wasted' on clearing up.
Sorry for the rant but litternowadays is a disgrace. I travel on buses alot and people leave their rubbish on seats or the floor then walk right past the bin on the bus. What's that all about?

Th majority of it is obviously from Albion fans, which is a dissapointment. Do they have any bins along the path?

I do that walk and the path is excellant, I noticed the rubbish Tuesday night, the simple answer (apart from holding onto the rubbish) is to install about 5 bins along there. I had chips Tueasday from the chippie next to the Hikers and had finished half way through the woods, the nearest bin was at the Amex!!

Why the hell would that be the case, I walked along there en-route to the Swan at about 17:30 the other night, well before Albion fans in any numbers went along there, it was awash with rubbish then. I would suggest it is locals or Uni students on the whole, most of it looked like it was fairly recent, and we have had more than 10 days since the Midds game.

I am not only blaming the council for the litter.
People who throw their litter around are pigs with no respect whatsoever for the environment. At the same time, like it or not, some people do drop litter so the council has a duty to clear it up periodically. That's what we pay taxes for. Bins along the path would be a good idea, but would they get emptied? Bins at either end would probably be a better idea.
I have walked along that path maybe 20 times (each way) this season and the garbage irritates the hell out of me each time.
Anyway, I'm going to do something about it. I have to go to the stadium tomorrow morning to pick up my West Ham tickets so while I'm there I'm going to take some bin bags and a pair of gloves and clean it all up. I'm going to stop moaning and bloody well do something about it!
It will be interesting to see how long it will take for it to be back to its current disgusting state.

Was thinking the same thing on Tuesday. Admittedly a few bins dotted along the path would help..............although installing urinals is asking a bit much!

I tell you why, it's because before the stadium was built the level of litter was far less. A lot of it is from the burger van at the Hikers and beer cans.
It's a well used walkway by grubby students who simply don't give a shit about the area they stay in or the people that live there.

So I repeat for the less absorbant brains out there, how many Albion fans had walked and littered along that path between the Midds game and 17:30 on Tuesday?

Its disgusting the amount of rubbish that is left around,however as the Council clear up after the travellers council tax payers cant expect less.

I've walked from on and off from Coldean lane to Falmer many many times in the last three years, It's pretty much always been a shit tip, It has increased abit but it was always there.
Both Uni's have halls at Falmer and Brighton have some on Coldean Lane too which has students walking to Falmer daily, The Uni's have 38,000 odd Student (Not all at Falmer but a large chunk) and emply 7500 odd staff between them (Again not all at Falmer but a large chunk) then add in a 22,500 stadium and your going to have litter.
I do believe in social responsibility and that you should carry it until you find a bin but it wouldn't hurt the council to put in some bins.

On the subject of litter, I bet the pathways of the Withdean area are a lot dirtier these days without the Albion to collect all their rubbish for them.

The pathway through the woods, is a brilliant idea. Don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't trust walking through there on a non-matchday or after a night-out!!

There has always been a pathway there, hasn't there? I'm not sure a short walk through the woods should conjeur up ideas of danger, certainly such a well used path. Probably a lot safer to walk along there after a night out than stumble next to a busy road.
I f***ing hate litter bugs. Selfish and lazy *****.

I picked up three bin bags of garbage from the left side of the path (left hand side walking from the Hikers Rest) this morning. No time to attack the other side. There are bins both sides of the road by the Hikers Rest so really no fecking excuse for chucking your trash around. Pigs!
