Any provision for extra seats?????.....

[Lord Bracknell]

Now that Charlton Athletic have had a few years of bussing fans free of charge from all over the place to their ground and established themselves as the south-east region's premier football club, I wonder if the Albion might consider a similar initiative when we get to Falmer.



Edit ... do I mean "premier"?

Reading went from 5k to 25k crowds, and are now planning on increasing the Madjeski's capacity again up to 37k.

They quietly dropped that plan when they were relegated from the Premier League.

 

[Easy 10]

Reading do everything quietly.

Yes it would be sweet justice if we started stealing fans from the West Kent towns such as Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge. We are in a unique position because we will have the most modern (and only) sporting area in Sussex an Kent, purely on that basis it will create huge interest.

But they are a third division team, surely Pompey or even Palace deserve that accolade.

What I want to know is when do they plan to re-open the Steyning Line so I can get all the way from Upper Beeding to Falmer by train. Come on Perry, sort it out!

PS; Lancing's platform can only take 4 carriages but regularly has 8 carriage London trains with the appropriate 'make sure you're in the front 4 coaches' announcement. People still get caught out regularly though. It wasn't so much of a problem in the good old slam-door train days as you could take your life in your hands and jump out if you'd misjudged but now you have to race down the carriages to find a door that hopefully opens in time which I can tell you from experience is virtually impossible. No wonder they want to phase it out.
