Me and 700+ others that watched Newhaven v Peacehaven, no arsing about trying to get to The Amex without the trains running.who wants to go and watch your local non league team on Box Day,
I don`t care if PT is run by aliens from Zeta Reticuli the conditions for access to the stadium on match day were made with the government , they stipulated the use of PT only on match days and we agreed , their side of that agreement was to make that PT available , we then issued tickets which subsidise that PT we kept our side of that deal they haven`t . I do not care who is in charge of the PT just that it is there , if you make an agreement you stick to it .Did you read his reply? Public transport is currently privately run. It’s not down to national or local governments.
The days of derbies on Boxing Day went out with the three day week and you won't get the past back. There's no way either Police force would consent to a Brighton v Palace on that day. What you'll get is just matches and kick off times that suit the TV viewers. Planners have no power to demand anything of private transport companies. They can only consider the travel plan and grant or refuse permission. A winter break should start just before Christmas. That's what it has to do with Boxing Day.if you work in the public service industry one of the downfall is you have to work on public holidays, I had to work Christmas Day and Boxing Day, Boxing Day was always the best day of the season to go and watch football, Always attracted a bumper crowd , and normally a local team would be the opponents,
who wants to go and watch your local non league team on Box Day, what’s a winter break got to do with playing football on Boxing Day
The planning authorities demanded the ground must be accessed mainly by public transport, but they failed to tell the transport companies to provide such a service , and indeed on normal match days service is indeed very poor . That’s is where the problem is
I think taking a screenshot of a journalist's article will probably boil @Wozza's piss. So probably worth doing
So, in short, you’d like the government, who don’t provide transport for any of our other home games, to do so on Boxing Day? Have I got that correct?I don`t care if PT is run by aliens from Zeta Reticuli the conditions for access to the stadium on match day were made with the government , they stipulated the use of PT only on match days and we agreed , their side of that agreement was to make that PT available , we then issued tickets which subsidise that PT we kept our side of that deal they haven`t .

But we have home games at the Amex on Boxing day, Arsenal and Brentford. It's a pain in the butt for home supporters as much as it is for away fans. The club cannot demand trains are provided on boxing day and it's a bit puerile to suggest they should or even that local authorities have control over private transport companies.if you work in the public service industry one of the downfall is you have to work on public holidays, I had to work Christmas Day and Boxing Day, Boxing Day was always the best day of the season to go and watch football, Always attracted a bumper crowd , and normally a local team would be the opponents,

Because they made the conditions for the stadium which included the transport clauses - YES i expect adequate PT to be available on ALL our scheduled home fixtures . It`s bad enough that we are the only club in the EPL and probably the whole EFL that has such conditions put on them , so the least they can do is honour their side .So, in short, you’d like the government, who don’t provide transport for any of our other home games, to do so on Boxing Day?

Not quite correct. There are planning policies on how much new car parking can be built for any new development. Shopping centre, stadium or arena. It is up to the applicant to demonstrate to the planners by means of a travel management plan, that their development can operate in these guidelines.Because they made the conditions for the stadium which included the transport clauses - YES i expect adequate PT to be available on ALL our scheduled home fixtures .

Very good points. And I’m not sure if @TugWilson can suggest how said government would deliver the once every two years transport.The planning conditions would’ve been set by a planning authority in the late noughties. A UK government, especially in 2024, has zero connection to the above. There is no “they”.
The planning authority or any authority wasn’t going to provide whatever the club wanted for transport. It was down to the club to arrange matters.
Why should the public purse be dipped into at great expense because for two short time periods on a public holiday a few thousand football supporters might use some train-lines in Sussex? There are more pressing priorities for taxpayers money.

Totally this..... Should have been the headline nothing to do with Brighton Boxing Day no show. Makes me mad!The idea suggested by that article that an independent football regulator is a bad idea because Brighton cannot play home games on Boxing Day (which we did three years ago in front of under 15,000) screams of an argument put forward to a journalist who is anti independent regulator by a club who are anti independent regulator
