Albion's proposals for a new training ground will be discussed at a Lancing Parish Council public meeting this evening, with councillors then due to vote on whether to support the club's application.
Local residents - who support, oppose or have concerns about the proposals - are invited to attend the meeting, and Albion chief executive Martin Perry has reminded supporters that it is important they respect the views and opinions of all parties.
He said, "The club fully respects the views of local residents, whether they are for or against these proposals. We want to hear the views of the local residents. Many residents have already raised concerns to the club, either via the media or at the roadshow we held in Lancing, and we have been able to reassure them and address those concerns.
"During the campaign for the new stadium, our supporters' conduct was exemplary and they campaigned in good humour on what was an extremely emotive subject. Equally the club listened to the objections and concerns of the Falmer residents, and we have been good neighbours and respected those living in the village.
"Likewise at Lancing it is important that both the club and supporters retain this stance and respect the views of local residents - whether for or against the proposals. We fully encourage any member of the public to present their points, whether for or against the scheme, either at the meeting or in writing to the club or council.
"For those who choose to do so at the meeting, we would ask that all those present allow them to do so without any interruption."
Perry also asked that any fans who do not live or work in the Lancing area do not attend, adding, "This is a public meeting for those people living or working in Lancing to put forward their views to the Parish Council - and it is important they are given the opportunity to do that."
