Have you seen how many people get the train on a matchday from Haywards, Wivelsfield, Burgess Hill, Hassocks? Throw in Plumpton and Cooksbridge for those who go into Lewes. An hourly bus service isn't going to be sufficient...when there are four rail replacement buses an hour on Saturdays people get turned away at Hassocks.

I've travelled in on the West Coast a bit lately andthe trains are full and standing only by Lancing if you're lucky to fit on.

We know from club figures that around 14k get the train to the ground. For a bit of context, i think 14k is the total amount of fans that made it to the Brentford game.

It is going to be a huge ask for Barber and the transport team to put on a viable contingency at short notice. I'm sure they'll come up with something if they have to but i don't see how they can get everyone to the stadium who wants to go without Tony sanctioning an entire transfer budget on a bus operation for an extra 10000 people

With the current national shortage of both bus and coach drivers, it is difficult enough for companies to be able to provide even a regular timetabled service.

I would of thought that providing any extra services over and above those would be nigh on impossible, especially with less than a fortnight's notice.

I may give that a try. Where are the bike racks at the stadium?

Seagull Travel as usual. Will be busier than normal no doubt but so much easier. A nice bit of exercise with the clockwise walk to the coach park too!

On the left coming up the slope from the station opposite the Ticket Office or up by the coach park. They are well used.

I can't imagine Palace coming into town on a Friday night is something the police would relish to be honest. With a much busier night on the trains anyway with many people on a night out in town, think they'd be better off keeping it to the Saturday. Sunday surely the main alternative.

What are they supposed to announce?

Ohhh, I don't know...

"We're aware of significant transport issues and are looking into providing additional park 'n' ride services across the city, but there is a possibility of the fixture being moved. We expect to make a full announcement by XXXX."

That kind of thing?

A better alternative still for me, would be to reschedule it for a midweek date later in the season.

Usual Seagull Travel and, being Palace, a chance for an extra post match pint as the coaches are always delayed by 20 minutes due to the one way system.
If they move the game I'll also be claiming compensation as I've booked my holiday from early Monday morning.
Could they hire Bennetts Field for a one of event to park coaches or could the police legally just take it over on safety grounds?

 

[pure_white]

where is the official club announcement on requesting the game is moved/?

 

[swindonseagull]

2 options
1 Park in Portslade and hitch a ride with another ST holder who parks on a mates drive
or
2 Arrive at P&R when they open @ 1200.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Those saying they will claim compensation, who from? I'm sure the club has that water tight in the t and C's.

 

[Weststander]

I'm going - will park in my secret parking place and walk to the P&R.

The very top of Woodland Avenue/King George VI Drive, then a 30 second walk across that mini park.
