So where will everyone be DRINKING pre-Amex fun?

[Seagull Steve]

Hikers I should think.

Either there, or just have a beer when I get to the stadium. (is it me, or does 'when I get to the stadium, still sound exciting?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Blue Parrot for me.

See you there

Oh my. Sleepy old Lewes won't know what's hit it when Millwall, Baaadiff, and West Ham hit town.

 

[Notters]

Lewes police are telling locals they are expecting approx 2500 extra 'guests' every other Saturday. The Lansdowne is going to be rammed.

Seems unlikely, if you're talking about drinking, as I doubt much more than about 10-20% in total go boozing before games, though I might be wrong.

It's not 'drinking' specific. That's the number they are expecting to be parking cars / changing trains before going to the games. Going to be a shock.

pretty sure the landsdown is currently closed. Not sure if permenantly, tempory or just being "done up".....im awaiting a text from the landlord of the Elly who knows the score

 

[jevs]

just heard that it's being done up and should re-open this week

.......interior decoration would not be something I would recommend they undertake now.

 

[Falkor]

il be coming from Newhaven but have no ideas of pubs to drink in

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Rottingdean then shuttle bus up to the ground.

Any idea where the shuttle bus will run from?

 

[Bozza]

Is there really sufficient capacity, or the ability to add sufficient capacity, to get 2500 people from Lewes -> Falmer between, say 1:00 and 2:30 on a Saturday?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Thats probably why there are drinking facilities at the Amex.

I mean lets face, it if its reasonably priced (and it sounds like the club are catering for all) then why not just go direct to the stadium and have a few swift halves there.

 

[Bozza]

This Saturday, services at...

12:58, 13:14, 13:29, 13:44, 13:58, 14:14, 14:29 (and a 14:44 which might get you in just after kick-off)

Heading home, probably nicely full of shoppers already...

17:01, 17:19, 17:31, 17:49, 18:01, 18:19, 18:31 and 18:49.

Indeed, which is why I said from 1pm. Regardless of the facilities, I can't see a great swell of people being there much before 1.

From the White Horse.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

From the White Horse.

Then that will most likely be my method of choice as well.

 

[Lewes' best seagull]

Going to be irritating for us natives.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Pub either side of London Road station if the service is good.

 

[willingdon_seagull]

Definitely NOT the Hikers Rest. What a dump and the clientele is not much better. Coming from the east, I think a few beers in the London and County 'spoons opposite Eastbourne station and then a couple pre match at Falmer will be good. 1304 from Eastbourne arrives Falmer at 1336 and with a seat probably guaranteed all the way. This will then leave time to walk to the stadium, put a bet on and enjoy some more drink!
