Fan's train to Cardiff

[Comedy Steve]

You will be arrested if you drink - simple as that.

Exactly. Come on gang, this is our showcase day to show the world how good Albion fans are and how much Falmer is needed.

30,000 fans travelling 200 miles to Cardiff and NO arrests is the way to do that. Don't f*** it up for the rest of us just cos you want to get pissed in transit. If you need a drink that much, go and watch the game in Brighton, in a pub.

You will get to Cardiff at 12.30. There are bars in the Millenium Stadium which serve until 15 mins before kick off.

Plenty of time for a swift half or two.

One thing i forgot to ask, how far is the train station from the stadium?

The bearer of good news again

 

[Yorkie]

The bad news is that it is full. I saw Roz post that they got 200 & 201 (numbered tickets) late yesterday and contacted friends of mine that I knew were going tomorrow afternoon.

I advised them to go quickly today. Just called and they only just got the 1st class tickets @ £40. The standard ones are all sold out. None left at the shop and very few 1st class ones left at Withdean.

 

[Happy Seagull]

Yeah i posted an update on another thread. I went down to the clubshop and Withdean this morning and had to go for 1st Class tickets.

...will most people travel on train via London or will most people use coaches and cars?

I have been on here before cos I am a Bristol City fan in London and want to do the trip by train- but not if hundreds of you lot are gonna be on the train. I don't mind mingling but it only takes one idiot- you know!

I think you'll get the piss taken all the way, but i don't think anyone would start anything Mr Parrot.

I remember when we played Woking in the Cup years back and 1 Woking fan (in colours) got on a train packed with Albion. He took so much stick the whole way, but no one layed a finger on him.

Schmuck, all the tickets are gone. According to www.qjump.co.uk the best way from Brighton to Cardiff Central involves changing at Fratton not sure if this is such a good idea!

If it's any help my two train tickets were numbers 200 and 201 respectively.

hmmmmmmmm

 

[Happy Seagull]

Do you have to sit in certain parts of the train then? Or just either standard or 1st class?

 

[Comedy Steve]

1st class have named & numbered tickets, but us pleb classes get a free for all I believe.

Hence those getting on at Worthing are standing for 5 hours

 

[Yorkie]

Standard are also numbered

Underneath the 501-1000 is a letter and number

Mine run A544 to A540

 

[Happy Seagull]

Bollox then

We have 1st class tickets and i just realised that only 3 of the 4 are numbered together.

 

[Yorkie]

I don't think it matters. First on gets the best seats I reckon.

Can i have that in writing please Yorkie

 

[Yorkie]

Can i have that in writing please Yorkie

No way. I'll be too busy elbowing my way into a carriage with 5 empty seats

I think we'll end up putting on Dick Turpin masks and stopping the train just before Hove so we get the best seats on board

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

What time does the thing arrive back in Hove after the game then? And what if it goes to extra time etc
