Football parking on campus to be carefully controlled
Local football supporters will park on the Sussex campus when Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club play their first games at the American Express Community Stadium later this month.
The 'Seagulls' reserves play Eastbourne Borough at the new stadium in the Sussex Senior Cup final on 16 July, before the first team take on Tottenham Hotspur in a pre-season friendly on 30 July.
As part of the planning approval originally given for the stadium, the club will use specific parking spaces on the University of Sussex campus - in addition to spaces elsewhere in Brighton.
Parking will be provided for up to 30 home matches during the 2011-12 Championship season.
The parking is being tightly managed and controlled by the football club in partnership with the University.
The formal management contract specifies that University of Sussex car parks can be used only by season-ticket holders or corporate guests, who will display a pass to prove that they have pre-booked parking.
Campus access for fans - for up to 1,100 cars on relevant Saturdays and 700 on weekday match days - will be only via the new link road through Stanmer Park.
The five car parks designated for use by the football club are the Sportcentre (P5), Sussex House (P4), Biology Road (P3), Science (P1) and Innovation Centre (P2, weekends only) car parks.
Fans will follow specific pedestrian routes to and from the stadium and they will not be allowed to use any other part of campus. Stewards will manage the arrival and departure of fans from campus.
Campus access for staff, students and visitors on match days will be via Knights Gate Road.
On Saturdays only, the use of space will be maximized with the use of block parking - i.e. bumper to bumper and not in parking bays. Students and staff are therefore asked to move their cars from the designated car parks by the time match parking starts (12noon on the relevant Saturdays). If they don't do this, they risk their car being blocked in.
Staff, students and visitors will be able to park in other car parks - Mantell (P6), Arts (P7), Park Village (P8), Lewes Court (P9) and East Slope (P10) - as normal and to use all those facilities and services on campus that would normally be open.
The University will not be extending parking charges for staff, students and visitors to evenings and weekends: this policy was proposed as a control measure but then suspended, has now been reviewed and will not need to come into force.

Bumper to bumper parking sounds fun.

How does one spell 'Shambles'.
There have been a number of posts relative to season ticket renewals, which I know is not the subject of this thread, but, the answer to those questions lies herein. Will we have 17500 renewals or whatever ?
I eagerly await the definitive resolution on the subject of Amex Travel.

I wonder if it is because the kick off times will be altered , Pompey might be a 12 o'clock midday kick-off and the same for Birmingham

Originally the Swankers
Isn't that exactly what the club want ? Going to be some seriously pissed off drivers wanting to get home that can't after a game.

Does bumper to bumper really mean front and back of the cars I can't see the fire brigade would let that happen it's a huge h&s risk

I recognise what is being said but my thoughts can easily apply to the most unattractive game where the stadium will not even be full and wonder what will actually happen ?
The concept of a full Amex with the away end also full creates a completely new situation and I am just concerned that, that particular scenario, is one which will be a serious problem

Well if getting to the Amex does become a "shambles ",then this will inpact on future attendences .The group i go with were taking the train from the east,but now not so sure .The problem is as i see it,is that we are very much in love with car transport,the planners are trying to change our wicked ways. However you can tempt a man from spam to steak but not so the other way !!!! Provide enjoyable puplic transport and you have cracked it ............I know it hurts but the Southampton away park and ride is IMO as good as it gets .
