Coldean Parking "Again"

Looking for a new job
Not worked it out myself yet - my fellow car-sharers haven't renewed their ST's for next season so I'll be travelling alone. Tried the Racecourse P&R but not ideal as I had to leave home at 11:30am for 3pm KO and added about an hour on the homeward journey. The Train is the most obvious but either have to change twice (Barnham and Brighton) or find somewhere to park and join the rail route at the edge of the travel scheme eg Shoreham. Other options would include a 1/4 share in Uni parking space with family who travel down from Cuckfield/Lindfield but would need to rendez vous en route and park my car somewhere or get a bus/coach service from Bognor. Can't get my head round it but would welcome hearing any other options

Tonnes of free parking in Hangleton and then you could get the H or S bus - both work very.

This is what I''l be trying I think. My mum lives in Portslade and one of the buses goes past her house.

Where do these buses pick up in Hangleton?....are they coveted by the travel subsidy?

Mithras House P&R ?

We looked at a few alternatives last season, particularly for evening games, to parking in Coldean, so that we'd know what worked best come the new season. Mithras House P&R is pretty good when it comes to getting to the ground (and is only a couple of minutes more driving than Coldean) but the road works along Lewes road made the journey back a pain but hopefully once that is sorted out things will be a bit easier.

All that is going to happen is instead of parking in Coldean/Moulsecoomb drivers will park further out in Portslade/Hangleton and catch the bus (provided it is not already full up with people doing the same)
Best place to get them is the Grenadier and yes, your ticket covers the travel from there.

Is there a booking process, or just first come first served? What are the timings like on the way back?
No booking required. Just stand in line outside Tescos. I tend to leave as soon as the whistle has gone and with a steady pace I get on either the first H or first S bus out. If you miss them then there's about a 20-30 minute wait for the next set.
What news on the additional P&R apparently planned for somewhere on the A23? The only location I can think of that they might be considering is the disused chalk pit just north of Pyecombe.
If Coldean is a no-go, then there will be added chaos on the trains and existing P&R.

....a point that is clearly being missed by the club when they decided to roll over to the nimbys in Coldean and 'scoomb without the platform and p&r expansion promised last year.
I thought it was more a case that the council demanded it as a condition of allowing the stadium expansion ? Not sure there's a huge amount the club could have done other then not expand.
The Large One
Who's Next?
The club has said that the P&R at Hickstead is not feasible (which, leaping ahead, would also mean any P&R at Lancing is also not feasible). Racecourse P&R and University parking sites are both under-used at present.
The club is of the opinion that it doesn't need another P&R site.

There is a Seagull Travel pickup on the A27 by Lancing Sports Centre if anyone is coming from that general area.
