I am amazed at the obstacles put in the way of the Albion and a new football stadium being built at Falmer (Letters, April 9).

This time, the problem appears to be employment, or non-employment, by the Albion.

In recent years, Bolton, Hull, Leicester and Southampton have all built new stadiums without, it appears, interference from neighbouring councils, causing them to postpone construction.

Several of the places mentioned must have high unemployment levels as well. Yet these new stadiums have been built and are thriving.
