Un'altra storia di calcio malato sembra finalmente avere lieto fine. Il Brighton, orfano dal 97 del suo stadio venduto dall'allora presidente, ha finalmente avuto il permesso di costruire un nuovo impianto dopo aver giocato negli ultimi tempi in un campo con appena 7.000 posti....
Brighton and Hove Albion have been given permission to build a 23,000-seat stadium in the village of Falmer. They first applied for permission to build the ground in 2001 and have been waiting since then for a decision. Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott ruled on Friday the stadium could be built at Falmer, just outside the city. Brighton have been playing home games at Withdean, an athletics stadium in the city, since 1999 and their last permanent home was sold off in 1997. The club and their fans have been desperate for permission to build the new stadium, arguing that by having to play home games at Withdean, with a capacity of about 7,000, they are missing out on huge amounts of ticket revenue.The saga began in 1997, when the club's former chairman sold the Goldstone Ground, the Seagulls' home for almost a century. The ground was demolished and is now the site of a retail park. Brighton played home games 75 miles away in Gillingham for two years before moving to the Withdean. The team have enjoyed success on the pitch, enjoying back to back promotions in 2001 and 2002 and, after being relegated in 2003, they were promoted back into the Championship via the play-offs in 2004. The club took about 30,000 fans to the play-off final in Cardiff, which chairman Dick Knight has cited as proof the club needs a stadium which can hold far more than 7,000 supporters. The public inquiry into whether the ground could be built opened in February 2003 and did not finally close until earlier this year. Interviewed in Brighton by the BBC at the Labour Party Conference in September 2004, Prime Minister Tony Blair admitted the process had taken too long. - from BBC

The Babyshambles frontman, famed for his wild lifestyle and dating model Kate Moss, revealed details of his ditty after learning Rangers had commissioned a tune from composer Michael Nyman.
"Fair play to Michael Nyman for composing the song for QPR to come out on to the pitch but I've already written a song for when they win the FA Cup," Doherty told The Guardian newspaper.
"He could do the B-side."
Doherty says his unnamed tune is a ska track.
But he might need to do a bit of work on the lyrics, which include the following lines:
I'll be, I'll be there
With blue and white ticker tape in my hair
Up the Rs
Up the Rs
Up the Rs
Ma come fa Kate Moss a scoparsi uno con quella faccia?? I miracoli della coca...

When i was just a little boy
I asked my mother what should I be
Should I be Arsenal, should I be Spurs?
Here's what she said to me:
Wash your mouth out son
And go get your father's gun
We'll shoot the Arsenal scum
Shoot the Arsenal scum
ARSENAL
Hello, Hello, we are the Arsenal boys!
Hello, Hello, we are the Arsenal boys!
And if you are a Tottenham Fan.
surrender or you die,
cause we all follow the Arsenal
