Might experiment with different options this season, see if I can trim it down a bit. Don't fancy my chances on a bike. Walk over Hollingbury golf course do you mean? Never thought of that one. May explore options on foot from Hollingbury Asda, there's frequent 5B buses go up there, although annoyingly few of them carry on all the way up to the Uni

get an e-bike, 15min journey, minimal effort, get to the amex at 2.59

Three hours in stadium (usually get there an hour before kickoff to swerve the most packed trains and buses). Instead of the rammed 25 bus I catch the 49 which involves a bit of a walk at either end, so that's an hour to an hour and a half each way. That's the thing about the Amex, it can take a very long time to go a very short distance.

Anyway, enough about me... :moo:
Could you not get the 5b to ASDA and the 24 down to Coldean?

Edit. I see you’ve just suggested the 5b.

It'll still be 6 hours if kick off is 17:30.

oh yeah, adjust departure time to suit the kick off time, sunday matches are a whole new kettle of ball games

from only three miles, he should be able to arrive on the whistle for each game

On the point of the 6 hours, I live in Lewisham and it’s about 6.5 - 7 hrs for me. My dad lives in Lindfield and it’s just over 4 hrs for him. There must be a quicker way from Preston Park.
Exactly! I live in Findon Valley and my average door to door over the last 10 years is aprox 5 hours over various different forms of transport 🤷*♂️

That's a very long time, even if walking you'd have to be taking 3 steps forward followed by 2 steps back.

The two STH next to me came to the first home game of the season last August. Never saw them again all season. Don't really give much of a shit about catching covid. Prob long overdue in my case. But guess what, all you shouty beered-up mask-free blokes on the concourses and on the trains. Guess where you and your family probably contracted covid? Oh well

Despite going to every home game I could I didn't get covid from the football.

I got it from a day trip to London and then got it from work last week.

And I was sanitising, wearing masks etc on the London trip.

So you’ve only been to 2 matches in 10 years and basically done nothing else in your life other than travel to those matches. I hope you saw some goals.

Bournemouth and Burnley.

He's on his way back now, just approaching Lyons Farm.

The empathy on this thread is astounding. Some of you just couldn’t wait to put the boot in.

Cheers for that, tho I did sort of provide an open goal. Plenty of decent comments in here also, including some good practical suggestions as to how to whittle an hour or more off my ludicrously long round trip without any increased potential exposure to covid. So it's all good :thumbsup:

Wait until the first few games :thumbsup:

I wonder if all this sun and heat is getting a little much. I know that you are not genetically predisposed to it :wink:

Of course about you, You started thread. Many just fascinated how someone can look for longest route to cover your short distance to ground and then moan it takes you a long time.. Maybe all will be ok and club will offer you personal transport to and from the ground.

So it's not really a six hour roundtrip - it's more like three and part of that is because you are clearly an awkward bugger - just drive or cycle up the London Road to the Mill Road P&R - or you could actually walk the short distance. I get giving up your season ticket if you've fallen out of love with watching live elite football but to blame the club over their Covid policy and to lie about your round trip is somewhat desperate.
