Hi Guys,

Looking forward to the game tonight and just after some info. What is my best bet for parking? I don't really want to use the park and ride schemes as apparently they take an ages after and I will be in a slight rush! If anyone could help that would be great.

Should be a good one tonight, think you'll probably beat us but in this league who knows!!

I'd go for parking around Lewes and getting the train in, but hold on for other ideas as I normally use the car park next to the ground but it's a bugger to get out of after the match unless you fancy leaving 10 mins before the end? (£13)

Park at ground (if you can) around £15, or in the past, have parked at Brighton station, which can be a bit quicker if you are quick sharp out of the ground. Where do you live?

Take the train.

Failing that, park in Lewes.

Failing that, park at the Bridge Car Park - £13.

Failing that, use the P&R site at Mill Road, but be there very early. VERY early.

After that, you've got little chance of a quick getaway.

Please DO NOT park in Coldean or Moulsecoomb. It costs the Albion a fortune.

Park in Moulsecoomb mate. 10 minute walk from the stadium. The park & ride queues aren't too bad though. There's some serious misinformation out there on the net about the travel arrangements for The Amex. As you'll see tonight, it's actually all ok and things now run pretty smoothy.

This is the correct answer. I often do this myself

Park at Lewes. 7 mins on train to ground, match ticket covers train journey. Trains 6.57, 7.15, 7.29 ( cutting it fine ).

Oh nice, this looks a good option. Only problem is i am picking my ticket up from someone at the stadium, do I need to show the ticket to get on these trains or can I just pile on? Cheers for the help guys.

You'd technically need to show your ticket (there's ticket gates at Lewes) but try bundling on amongst a crowd going through - quite a few people drink in the Landsdown near the station pre game and you should be OK. You won't have to show it at Falmer. Worst comes to the worse, it should only be about £3 for a single Lewes to Falmer.

No one ever asks to see the ticket at Lewes anyway. But if they do happen to tonight, just say you're going to the game. If you are wearing something with a Charlton logo on it they definitely won't question you.

I use the Lewes station option but it costs £5.50 to park there; on one occasion all match tickets being checked very throrough too, but bit cold for that tonight...Race Course park and ride is very good...never fills up if you are running late...you need to pre-book to park at ground,hope that helps...

Park and ride at the racecourse, very efficient service. Stop and have a quick half and a pie in the north stand after the game, we're pretty friendly, then wonder up the slope and straight on the bus. You'll be back at your car within 15 minutes of leaving the stadium. No worries.
