| | Falmer site secrets |
 | | Brighton and Hove Albion FC paid a four-figure sum to consultants in late 2004 to examine the prospects of an hotel at either Falmer, Sheepcote, or at Dyke Road, close to the Brighton bypass, though the club told successive public inquiries that there was no possible site for a stadium other than at Falmer. |
 | | Documents leaked to Lewes MP Norman Baker also reveal that the consultants' report recommended Sheepcote, not Falmer, as the preferred site for the Albion, yet at the reconvened public inquiry in February 2005, just three months after the report was received, the club again argued that Falmer was the only possible site for a stadium. |
 | | Lewes MP Norman Baker says: "This leaked material is dynamite and suggests the club has not been straight either with its fans, with the public, or indeed with government inspectors. |
