[Albion] Getting to and away from the amex at night games

Garry Nelson's Left Foot said:

My student and his wife are going to be going to the Chelsea game this Friday.

I usually take the bus to the amex and often take the bus back to town too. However, I've never been to a night game at the amex. Is the bus a good option? What time do they run to? Are they still regular at that time of night?

It feels like the simplest option is the train back but I don't want a slight 40 something Japanese woman to be crushed or part of any trouble if there should be any.

What's the best option?

Thanks!

Walk past the station towards the Bridge car park, and keep walking to Moulsecoomb Way, where the 49 turns round. They run every 10 minutes and will be empty.
You will be back into town within 12-15 minutes.

Every 20 minutes at that time of night and it takes 30 minutes to get back to Old Steine. Not sure about being empty as loads of people have cottoned on to the 'secret' bus over the last few seasons.

Most day trippers/tourists leave before the final whistle so that might be the best option, leave on 85 minutes and head for the station (remembering to queue on the left and do not go up the ramp (I'm always amazed how many people assume you get on the train the same side of the platform you get off)

Just keep it simple - tell them to wait half an hour or so after the final whistle, have a beer/tea/soft drink in the concourse, hopefully soak up the atmosphere after a great win and then walk straight onto a train into Brighton

It's their first time in Brighton so unfortunately I think that'll be a bit much for them. There's a good chance they'd spend the night going round in circles in Moulescoomb!

It's a tricky one really, especially when you consider the official stats and the appalling number of Japanese women that have died getting to and from the Amex and/or in crowd violence. How Mitoma sleeps at night is beyond me.

I can give you a lift to Swindon if that helps?

Just get the train like everyone else I'm sure they'll be fine.
