On arriving home from a short holiday, I found among my mail two abusive letters, dated March 9 and 11, obviously written by the same hand, in reply to my often-stated views in your columns of my strong opposition to the proposed football pitch at Falmer.

The person appears to have misunderstood my arguments, interpreting them as attacks on the club.

Although not an active supporter of the Albion for some years, due to old legs, I was a regular for many years and still read the match reports with interest.

As the writer of those letters did not have the courage to identify himself, I cannot answer him without your help.

I do hope that he doesn't represent the modern supporter or it does not sound good for the Albion's future.
