Really?
No wonder fans of other clubs sometimes say that we're arrogant.

Yes really. As a veteran of many an an Argus-£1-Pre-Xmas-Foot Passenger Newhaven-Dieppe deal, I can guarantee that there were always buses laid on at Newhaven Harbour to bus the arriving French tourists directly into Brighton.
Pretty sure Burnley FC will be no different.

Burnley fans arrive into Eastbourne and rush the soon to depart Coaster 12, full of OAP's ready to have a nice afternoon tea and a jam scone.
In fact it does. Burnley's top ranked hotel on Tripadvisor is a Best Western, with the last review saying 'it couldn't of been any more perfect'. Cheap, too.

It isn't Newhaven, it's Eastbourne. I know of a naval reunion that takes place in Eastbourne every year, at a lovely hotel and the participants don't feel the need to catch the bus into Brighton each time. I go to the gala dinner on the Saturday evening.

You can just make out Liz Costa at the front of the bus with her clipboard.

Wonder if there is any chance of their coach radio catching alight and causing an explosion.

I meant no disrespect to either Eastbourne or Newhaven. Fact remains though, that unless a visitor has any strong ties with either of these towns, then they'll be making a beeline for Brighton.

Experience of my shipmates says you're wrong. They have visited Brighton, but most times when they visit, they stay in Eastbourne and visit elsewhere. Brighton isn't to everyone's taste.

Eastbourne is very popular in the north west. It's seen as genteel and less London influenced than Brighton. It used to surprise me when I worked there but I guess they have a point.

Unless my eyes are deceiving me 28th January 2016.
Someone's stolen some pages! I'm still on page 2.
It says it's dated today when I follow the link. Have I missed something?
Looks like very good value, actually.
Posted today by the look of things. And ?
If it's the '1st April' bit you're getting at, the game is on 2nd, so kind of unavoidable if they want to travel down on the Friday.

Why? When we go away drinking as a group to games we normally end up staying close to the hotel in a decent pub or two.
Comments like you made is exactly as someone said above why people think Brighton fans can be arrogant
Really? If people from Brighton were unfortunate enough to find themselves staying in a hotel in Sunderland they would make a beeline for Newcastle. If they were staying in Bolton they would go to Manchester. It is what you do. Go to the cool interesting place. Eastbourne is nice enough, but it isn't Brighton.
Fact is we go away to to all these shit towns, we have to google decent pubs to find somewhere that will sell a decent pint. You northerners get off the train in Brighton and you can stumble in to one of ten decent pubs within 100 yards of the station. That is probably why we look down on most of the shit towns we have to visit.
