After my column last week, I think I have all but scuppered any chances of being invited on a coke'n'crisps coach frenzy with the Albion super fans.

My opinions on the current situation surrounding the Falmer planning application have ruffled a few feathers amongst the 'chosen few'.

Lambasted on the World Wide Web by the movers and shakers in the supporters world, I was then asked at the Cardiff game why I was constantly giving Dick Knight a hard time.

Perhaps Dick had better contact, amongst others, Messrs Sizen, Campbell and Archer to find out what getting a hard time really is. I am still 100 per cent behind Dick Knight and Martin Perry but I cannot sit there and behave like some sort of Trappist monk in a blue and white bobble hat.

I support them with the Falmer plans but must ask questions.

Apparently, an update on the Falmer project is expected shortly. I hope, when it is, I will be in a position to congratulate Martin and Co on their progress. I hope there will be an indication of when a formal planning application will be submitted and I hope that all fans, not just a few, will have a clear understanding of how the club will be going forward both on and off the field in the next five years.

Despite having a 13-point cushion not everything is rosy for runaway Division Three leaders Chesterfield.

A string of broken promises from their latest benefactor, a cash crisis which has seen players' wage cheques bouncing and the latest revelation that the club has been offered to anyone who wants to buy it for the princely sum of £1.

So basically anyone could come in, pay the pound, sell Saltergate for retail development, clear the debts, pocket the money, wind the team down and make them play miles away from Chesterfield...

My thanks to Simon Moll, from Hove, for taking the time and trouble to write to the Sports Argus to put me straight regarding Palace's Clinton Morrison.

I am a little disturbed to discover there are Crystal Palace fans roaming Sussex. As an upstanding citizen and council tax payer, I feel I have a right to to be told if is a Crystal Palace fan is living in my street Enigmatic Chelsea chairman Ken Bates appears to have well and truly thrown his toys out of the pram over Wembley stadium.

Whilst some would view his act of petulance as the actions of a spoilt child who can't get his own way, I'm actually giving the Santa Claus lookalike more credit than that.

If the Albion think they have got problems with Falmer, that's nothing to what the FA have landed themselves with the Wembley redevelopment.

You certainly don't have to be Inspector Morse to see that this whole project is going to drag on long past the original time frame, be way over budget and probably be the next Millennium Dome.

I think there's only one Pontius Pilate in this whole affair.
