How will you get to and from Falmer...?

[johnnyrocketpants]

There is always this, er, 'jetpack'...

THAT is the thing we need. Do you think TB would splash out on 23,000 of them?

By hot air balloon taking care that I defecate over all nimbies en route. That includes the twisted peace protester, Catt, and your earth mother friend in Woodingdean.

Just arguing the toss about this in the office with some squelch-f***ed dead-head who lives in Woodingdean and fears Autogeddon will suffocate her children, and that footballs are made of Satan's own tuberculotic spermoids, and that football fans give you cancer.

Have you told her about the park and ride service from Woodingdean ? Fans will be able to park anywhere they like and catch the buses from Cowley Road shops or the Downs Hotel

On a lark, I ran it through Orbitz.com and transportdirect.info.

It's less than $600, round trip, PWM > PHL > LGW, then train to Falmer, and walk.

Which is more than I can spare, but not a lot more than I can spare....

 

[Scampi]

I will ask my mahout to take me on his elephant. It can cool down in the duck pond while it waits to take me home

 

[Notters]

far too many people planning on getting the train

 

[Renns]

Fingers crossed i'l be at brighton uni at the time so train i presume!

 

[dougdeep]

Hopefully by train, it should be quieter on the non-Brighton side.

Yup. Training now will get you in great shape for the walk to the ground.

 

[Billy the Fish]

If the train does turn out to be a nightmare and very overcrowded it might be an idea to try and source some more busses to go to Lewis and Preston Park Stations

 

[ali jenkins]

I'll either drive for the eveing games and park as close as I can, just lik eI normally do now, or get the train

I will personally be leading a Traveller's Convoy up over the Falmer Road from Woodingdean, where we will park in a circle-your-wagon style around the Falmer Pond, most Friday nights or Saturday mornings.

6 minute train ride from London Road to Falmer. Would be rude not to, really. Might even be able to get some use out a travel voucher for once, if they're still doing them.

Can see the return journey being far from straightforward though, unless there's decent post-match drinking facilities at Falmer. Thousands of people descending on Falmer station after a game is not going to be easily manageable. If the cabbies are smart, they could make a killing there. Assuming there's a generous sized taxi rank.

Will they still have them? Weren't they just a condition of using Withdean?

No. They'll still be in use at our new stadium.

The Sportsman ain't exactly packed post-match, even if we win.....

it's possibly the worst pub in Brighton!

would that be along the road that will be closed on match days (not)

train, bus which ever is best, im actually determining where i move to on the basis of how easy it will be to get to Falmer.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Hopefully train, which is going to be a nightmare for away fans by the sounds of it

how did you work that one out when they can choose between Brighton or Lewes
