| 1101 | Charlotte Cracknell | We need football in sussex. How many people sitting on the council are affraid of football?
Sod the houses, think of the youths and people of today, where will they go if there is no football |
| 1102 | garry barnes | With the 2012 olympics coming to England, we should be promoting facilities like this, not losing them to housing! |
| 1103 | Russ Purchase | Football was originally a game for Joe Public.Now it is all too money oriantated. We need small clubs like Burgess Hill to continue the history of football. |
| 1104 | Anonymous | Having lived in Sussex at one time, and played local football there, and helped run a side i know that grass roots football is so important to communities. The shortage and loss of suitable pitches is all important. This situation is being allowed to happen all to often,and must not be allowed to occur. |
| 1105 | Tom Wilkinson | i think ppl underestimate the benefits of of a club like this. |
| 1106 | Anonymous | Absolute disgrace replacing green field leisure facilities with houses without offering an equivalent or better new facility |

| 1109 | Geprge Carr | Another case of blinkered action by a council.
More houses = higher population in the area which will then have one less important amenity. A recipe for increasing boredom and trouble especially among the younger fraternity. |

| 1114 | Jonny Dean | hate to see a club go |
| 1115 | Lynn Strange | Watched my husband play for Hillians for many years and hope one day to watch my 2 boys play for the club. It would be a shame to take away a wonderful facility, which gives a huge amount of pleasure and ambition to our local youngsters, keeping them off the streets and keeping them fit! |

| 1117 | Richard Strange | I am an ex player. I grew up at Burgess Hill Town Football Club as my dad was one of a line of secretaries who voluntarily helped run the club in the 1970's. I walked into Leylands Park at the age of 4 when the club moved there and spent my early youth kicking a ball around whilst my dad did all the pre match preperation, marked the pitch, cleaned the changing rooms and ran the bar,etc. I played for Southdown Rovers, Burgess Hill 1st Eleven and Sussex. For the sake of certain individuals who only in this short period have brought the club to this situation, the previous 125 years have seen much hard work get the club to be one of the most prominent in the county. Let's make sure we recognise the history and not ruin what has come before now with a problem that can be rectified in a very short period of time. |
| 1118 | James Munnyard | Football is our national game and should be played at all levels |

| 1121 | meg Chitty | Burgess Hill have been going for years. Everybody hits a bad patch now and again - but they recover - given the chance! |
| 1122 | Andrew Penfold | There are to many housing estates being built on football pitches in the UK. good luck, I hope your petition is successful. |
| 1123 | Sam | i want to save them because burgess hill rock |
| 1124 | Matthew Carpenter | i went to watch the hillians play and it was amazing it would be the end of the world if they could't stay! |
| 1125 | Dr. Kevin Cordes | If the Labour Party are so interested in keeping the British people fit then why allow this act of sporting desecration? Call the application in and stop building houses on sporting facilities. I assume some of the new inhabitants like and play football. |

| 1127 | Tom Blendell | SAVE THIS FOOTBALL CLUB THE COUNCIL ARE DOING THE WRONG THING ! THIS TEAM MAKES THE TOWN KNOWN !!!! |
| 1128 | Alan Saddington | This Council obviously does not realise how much a local football team means to the community. Look at years gone by when clubs have folded it takes far more effort to resurrect a club than to leave it be. Aldershot is a classic example. |
| 1129 | Alan Powell | What is going on,another club under threat,first Horsham now Burgess Hill when is it going to end,the government want sport for all but we're running out of places to play it,is it going back to the old days when kids played in the street,Mid Sussex council,get your act together and leave football alone! |
| 1130 | Tommy Churchyard | i think it is mad to stop the great football that happens at leylands park, the msdc have been fine with it for the past 125 YEARS!!! why can't they be fine with it now??? clear up your act council! |

| 1134 | Ian Thompson | I'm sure there are other area's that can be developed. Taking away something that has lasted for 100 + years is irreplaceable. |
| 1135 | paul | Terrible news do people not know how much effort of unpaid people goes into these small clubs and then just to sell them off. No wonder this country is in the state it is money money great for those that have. |

| 1138 | Barry Anderson | Though (temporarily) exiled in London, I was born and bred near to Burgess Hill and have a great deal of time for what I know to be one of the best-run and most community-minded football clubs in the country. Their achievement in reaching - and surviving at - Ryman League level is hugely creditable and makes this decision by MSDC even more disgraceful. I should like to think, even now, that common sense might prevail and the Council show some respect for its electors and Council Tax payers by withdrawing this extremely unpopular proposal. |
| 1139 | Bill Rawlinson | The council should be supporting and protecting local teams. Burgess Hill Town are established and successful and can only bring benefit to the town and to Mid Sussex in general |
| 1140 | Helen Christian | |
| 1141 | Mark Bradley | |
| 1142 | Douglas Merrick | Local football is the life blood of the community and needs to be preserved - keep football at Leylands Prk. |
| 1143 | Karl | we shall not we shall not be moved |

| 1145 | Linnie Rawlinson | It's a crazy idea to build on the pitches. Burgess Hill Town FC should be saved, no question. It's what the people of Burgess Hill want. |
| 1146 | Alan Constable | We wish you every success in keeping your ground. Enough have been lost already.
Ashford Town (Middx) FC |

| 1148 | Anonymous | Burgess Hill FC is about cementing the realtionships within the community, and has done since its inception. The so called do gooders called the council have ben quick to attend the club for its freebies and have on many occasions commented on the good work being doen by all at the the club. To build houses on the site then takes away a valuable assett, never to be replaced. A nother classic brain dead moron making decisions without knowledge of the harm that will be done. |

| 1150 | Chris Hardacre | Shame on Mid Sussex Disrtict Council for even considering to build houses on a recreational area......................Hands Off Leylands Park. |
