Hung around for 15 minutes and had a beer then walked back to the University Car park and got to my car at 5:20. Quite a queue to get out of the University grounds and it must have taken about 20+ minutes to get onto the bypass. Plain sailing after that and back home in Mile Oak about 5:55.
I was a bit suprised how far the University Car parks are from the ground. Its a good 10 minute walk each way and I would imagine any of the disabled that got put over there would have struggled. I'm a fairly fit 66 year old but even I was puffing a bit but it might have been the heat and the excitement.
Just as an aside, do any of the other car park patrons think the tickets are a bit too easy to copy. Just for fun I scanned mine yesterday onto a piece of blue card and I defy anybody to tell the difference, especially a steward gazing at it through the windscreen as you drive past. Would imagine this might need to be changed later.

Left just after full time - waited 30 mins for P&R back to Mill Rd. Not perfect but not the end of the world, queue for it seemed to be getting bigger while the other sites were pretty sparce so imagine tweaking needs to be made with amount of buses going to which site (obviously double deckers are a no go for mill Rd)

Will do the train next week and see how it goes.
My sister and I were discussing this today, that is what she said but I pointed out that as each one is a different colour unless someone who has paid for it is stupid enough to tell someone who hasn't what colour it is this week they won't know what colour to copy it to?

Yes understand but if u copied the ticket you could flog them to your mates.
But that would mess you up as you might be the car not let in when the car park was full

I walked home took 40 minutes i guess ..no worries considering the crowds as well!
Left at final whistle, quick piss stop, and back at Brighton Station at 5.22pm, very impressed, and another two trains were due to stop before 5.30pm heading for Brighton after the one we got.
One concern is what it maybe like waiting for trains when the likes of Millwall/West Ham/Cardiff/Birmingham visit, and we are in in there together...........

I went to the train station about 10 mins after final whistle, queue looked like a bit of a mission, couldn't be arsed so went back to ground, had a drink, concourse tv's told me a train was due in 10 mins, so walked down there expecting a small queue, no queue, waited 5 mins for the train and sorted.
That said, the walkway is very wide and some people were queing on the right when it seemed others just walked past and joined at the bottom. All in good spirits today so was fine but can imagine people getting aggy when its cold and raining. Perhaps needs better organisation in that respect.
I can see it being a bit of a pain getting away immediatly after kick off but I think I'm going to meet up with some mates and have a drink before leaving most games.
