[Albion] Boxing Day v Arsenal, trains.

[dazzer6666]

There’s no trains after the game?

Nope, nothing at all going north from Brighton according to network rail.

One would have expected at least a couple with limited stops like Haywards Heath, Gatwick Clapham Victoria.

Major works near Victoria (Battersea), don’t think any trains are going in/out of Victoria between 22/12 and 2/1. Bus replacements from Clapham Junction.

Even to Clapham Jct would get fans just outside London to catch bus or tube.

At the end of the day the police could intervene and say it is not practical to play it at 5,.30 so No you are not going to. They have more power than Sky surely taking into account safety etc..

17:30 is better than 12:30 for me and the distance travelled.

Neither is acceptable in our situation as regards the public transport criteria as part of our licence.

If the game has been announced, then the SAG has been consulted.

When I looked in National Rail Enquiries it said there are no trains from London to Brighton or Lewes on 26th.

No doubt with the clubs financial slant on it and no consideration given to the supporters wishes or needs. It will not affect you as you live local and can walk as it wont affect me either as my wife will drive me to and from The Amex but there are many other supporters who are reliant on public transport for whom no regards has been taken by the club or anybody else.

So the club organising a shuttle bus service or providing another park and ride at Sainisburys is nothing?...new interpretation to me

You just make this up as you go along. I live 12 miles from the Amex. I'm not bloody walking it.

Additionally, the club has no say on it, and you've been told that time and time and time again. The SAG offer their opinion, and if there is a legitimate concern which cannot be mitigated by any of the parties, then they will voice them and let Sky know accordingly.

We know there are issues for people to get there, but to say 'no regards has been taken by the club or anyone else' is something you've made up yourself.

That is rather an 'after the Lord Mayors Show' reaction I would think. Perhaps it is wrong to say no consideration and I should have said not sufficient considerations was given to the supporters needs.

 

[HantsSeagull]

Are there any or shall I hurry up and grab 1 of the 40 odd parking spaces keft

like you ever catch the train...

My apologies as I thought from your posts in the past that you lived in central Brighton.

I don't think you are giving the club enough or in fact any credit ...and yes you were wrong...but lets move on

Given that the club have no say in the moving of the fixture, what else could or should they have done?
