Imagine if they removed the travel area and everyone had to buy train tickets and southern kept the barriers closed at Falmer and everyone had to scan in/out - that would be awful

But then those that don't use public transport wouldn't have to pay the "travel tax" and those travelling by train could reclaim the cost of tickets through "Delay Repay".Imagine if they removed the travel area and everyone had to buy train tickets and southern kept the barriers closed at Falmer and everyone had to scan in/out - that would be awful

You can't delay repay because the service is so shit and infrequent that only 3 coached turn up every 15 mins

One thing that is definitely delayed is the results of this review. I think it was first announced in Spring last year, the FAB were consulted at a special meeting devoted to it in October 2023 and then, afaik, - nothing.
Anyone that would think the cost of the scheme hasn't risen must be living in cloud cuckoo land.

Yep. The club outlined that rising costs was one of the reasons for launching the review at the time. See also these minutes from their meeting with the FAB >> https://assets.ctfassets.net/rrpvig.../Travel-Review-Meeting-20-October-2023-v3.pdf
There are some nice walking options - it’s around a 30 min walk from the car park at Castle Hill (35 mins back 
). Car park isn’t that large though and if it’s a Sat/Sun afternoon game it will be largely full with walker‘s cars anyway but you can also park on Bexhill Road or in some of the unit car parks on the industrial estate. Lewes town centre is around 70 mins walk (cycle/foot path along the 27), Ditchling Beacon car park is around an hour (nicer route of course) and Jack and Jill car park around 90 mins.
