How deeply I agree with the wish of the Albion to reach Falmer. Withdean residents have appreciated the club has respected our environment as far as it has been possible for the team operating in such a restricted area.
As we consider the possibility of 2,000 more seats combined with the traffic involved and a concrete stand right on top of Shepherds Croft, we are full of apprehension.
Football visitors to Withdean will be less considerate of residents and will be routed along a path adjoining our back gardens.
We are, indeed, Little Withdeaners and not used to making difficulties - only seeking peaceful co-existence - so you may not have heard our cries.
