How will you get to and from Falmer...?

[The Large One]

Just arguing the toss about this in the office with some squelch-f***ed dead-head who lives in Woodingdean and fears Autogeddon will suffocate her children, and that footballs are made of Satan's own tuberculotic spermoids, and that football fans give you cancer.

I said that we will all make our way to Falmer in organically-grown muesli-powered Lovevehicles, which are serviced by the bark of hugged trees farmed on a consciously-aware liberal space, free from toxin-laden hate-Nazis, and the only exhaust emissions will be that of seal cubs tears. She seemed to accept that, but it got me thinking...

How would you normally get to Falmer of a match day, and can it be considered 'environmentally friendly'?


Me, train from London Road Station to Falmer, and back again. Plenty of scope for beer then. You?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i'll get the train, seems by FAR the easiest option

 

[dannyboy]

well if the move goes ahead ill be in ardingly so get to haywards heath somehow . train to brighton then out again or maybe to lewes then on if thats possible.
plenty of beer en route

 

[The Grockle]

East Croydon to Lewes then Lewes to Falmer I reckon.

 

[Simster]

Don't know yet, probably train, train and bike or car (park and ride) if possible.

However, if it quickly becomes apparent that it's hassle getting to the stadium, then expect crowds to plummet within 4 or 5 years. Not everybody is sufficiently fussed about watching championship or league 1 football to jump through too many hoops getting there.

i'l meet you

 

[Titanic]

Carrier bat.

 

[Acker79]

On good weather days I'd walk. Not so good weather days I'd probably go by bus or train.

 

[acrossthepond]

Car - plane - train - on foot.

Easy!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Team coach. We still need a backup goalkeeper, right?

 

[bhafc99]

Humvee, cross-country, including through the duck pond. Natch.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

train definitely has the best DRINKING options, as you can drink around brighton station, then get a few TINS for the train journey and stumble on and drink yourself into oblivion

can't do THAT in a car CAN'YA

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

But Woodingdean is a fair old walk to Falmer f*** me.

Having said that it will be the train or the bus or a taxi.

 

[Mackenzie]

I'm going by car, I'll either park in Falmer village or on an area of outstanding natural beauty depending on how I'm feeling. I'll almost certainly go via Woodingdean and probably drive over the downland in my 4.5 litre diesel offroader. I'm going to piss in the pond as well.

 

[British Bulldog]

Be driving there most of the time unless I fancy a beer then it will be the train.

 

[NMH]

I will buy a huge f***-off tractor that belches out thick monoxide while spraying flourocarbons from both fists and fly-tipping all my rubbish as I go.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I think thats an excellent idea Mckenzie.

In fact I may even park a nuclear sub in the pond, thatll really f*** off the natives.

 

[Brovion]

Well originally I was planning on going by train from London Road, but by the sound of it the railways won't be able to cope if the crowd is anything above 7,500 so I'll have to think of something else.

I might walk down to the Gyratory and catch a bus.

Same way I get to Withdean - down the A23, turn right into Mill Road, and hop on the Park & Ride - hopefully the new route to Falmer won't quite so heavily resemble a roller-coaster, and will be a bit more direct!
