Dear Paul,

I would just like to say, on behalf of Sussex Police, congratulations for a successful march on Monday. The behaviour of everyone was superb and the demo certainly was enjoyed by the police on duty. This was a march which the police were looking forward to as it was a local issue. Police, as you are aware, were drafted in from all over the country for the week and they are now fully up to speed with Brightons plight in obtaining a new stadium. They are taking the message back which will not only reflect on the supporters but spreads the message even further.

Paul, your determination and planning is impeccable. Planning the march was so easy with yourself and Tim at the helm.

If anyone deserves a new stadium, its Brighton.

Best wishes

PC Darren Balkham
