Free coach travel to Norwich (AND match tickets now also on sale)

[Eeyore]

Not for East Sussex state schools. Don't know about elsewhere.

East Sussex start on the 3rd, everywhere else seems to start on the 10th for two weeks. I'm a venue coordinator for a national charity and I have had to keep double checking that I have family venues booked in the correct weeks because of the anomaly.

So at the QPR game we should get the kids chanting "East, East, East Sussex" and at the Norwich game it will be the turn of their counterparts in the West (+ those school kids from East Sussex who develop a nasty chest infection that morning which seems to miraculously clear up around midday in time to leave for the match...).

Or the West Sussex lot chanting 'Back to school tomorrow' at those further east during the Wigan Athletic match..

For those not driving/going by coach, it should (just about) be possible to get the train back to Brighton after the match. There's a 22:00 train from Norwich to Liverpool Street - get off a stop earlier at Stratford at 23:52, then hop on the Central line to Oxford Circus, change to the Victoria line to London Victoria and then hop on the 01:00 train to Brighton. As it's a Friday, the Night Tube will be running, and the journey between Stratford and Victoria only takes 30mins. This is my plan anyway!

Just hope there isn't too much injury time !

Enjoy.

Top effort from the club to identify this as the ideal match for free coach travel. Rewards the loyal away fans and also helps make sure we have full allocation of fans supporting the team in a crucial match.

Looks like the 1,000 free coach seats haven't been taken up yet, wonder if there will be any leftover which could be passed onto users of other coaches

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Same. Going by train and returning by coach. Can't stand the thought of arriving half an hour before kick off completely sober.

 

[SurreySeagulls]
