That simply isn't true. On the 3 occasions I visited the Olympic park during the games we walked out of the park, back to Stratford Station and onto a train/tube having no more than 5 minutes to wait. I doubt that'll ever happen at Falmer! As long as people realise that everyone else is just trying to get home too, and that their own journey is no more important then the stress level will drop and the journey will be easier (if no quicker).

Well your 3 visits trump my 2 - however I think we are both making the same point - just wait patiently in the Q if you want a bus or train bank to town/home

No idea, whats the old man got against the park and ride
Indeed.
If your journey is THAT important to the world then put your lights and sirens on. If you don't have lights and sirens then your journey isn't that important.
Not through legally enforceable means, yet. They have signs up saying residential, and apparently there were increased patrols through the area toward the end of last season. I n the close season it appeared that fans parking in residential areas was a problem, and there was something about the council wanting to put restrictions in because it is a problem, and might have caused problems increasing capacity. I believe there was something about a traffic survey and attempts to reduce the fans parking in nearby residential areas.
Why not try the bridge car park, see if the club offer a match-by match option for parking there. It's closer than coldean.
Albion fans can also purchase subsidised seasonal car parking spaces at the new Bridge car park, located just off the A270. To book your space please contact the Customer Services team on 0845 873 0251.

out of my way I have a vuvu and will blow it
Why? Games finishes around 9.30. That gives you 45 mins to travel 7 mins on the train to Brighton. I've left on full time and picked up connecting trains that have left Brighton before 10 in the past. Let us know how you get on.

I do see that the timings make sense, but if for example I only make to make it onto the 3rd train from falmer, that will take at least half an hour, cutting it fine to make the 10:14. Although I agree it should be fine, you just never know!
Normally it wouldn't bother me one jot, it's only because I have the kid with me that I have to think about the timings. I would much rather stay behind for a few bevvies and hop on the train when I'm ready! Thankfully this is the only evening game he'll be going to so I won't have to worry about it again!

The ticket office at the Amex could not print off my Barnsley tickets this morning so I will be interested if anyone has experience of trying to use the local free transport with only a booking confirmation and no actual ticket, I am not totally convinced my ticket will get here before Saturday. Turning up at the local railway station with just a printed email confirmation sounds like fun, lol.

All the "transport professionals" were scaremongering this time last year and it was fine
One Councillor was inclined to deny the increase in seats until the parking issues had been sorted (though supported it in the end).

You have the better part of a week to get your Barnsley tickets. Don't worry until the last post day before the game.

Not quite a week, he said they would not start printing them until tomorrow so that's only 3 posts.
