About a tweny minute walk but dont rely on any help from the local immigrants, i mean inhabitants......

Do not forget that you can get 4 people for £25 on the Thameslink.

What time is the last train home?

 

[Uncle Buck]

I think the last direct one is 2214. But then you can always get one to Three Bridges and then pick another one up there.

10.25 ish I think. Will most probably be on it myself. Was certainly no problem getting home when we tonked you 2-0 two years ago.

I am not, stuck in Surrey that week and have to contend with South West Trains ripping the tracks apart. Arse.

Can someone confirm that this is an evening game?

Have we started to sell tickets yet?

Is it OK for kids..Luton do have some smelly fans?

I believe it will be fine for kids as long as they wear their official 'Falmer for all' nose clips. That should combat the dreadful pong.

It's fine for kids. You'll get to show them a stadium that rivals the Withdean in its poorness but at least you wont get wet if it rains. Plus you get to go through someones front room to get into the stand.

Also there is a casino just down the road that might be fun for some pregame fun

I already told you! Do you not trust me at all!

Last direct train from Luton, 22:14. However you can still get one into London and back to HH if you miss it

15.34 from Brighton I think.

Luton is a shit hole.

4 for £25 is nice.

My son works for a company that is contracted to the train companies and he tells me that a lot of the lines are out of action between Christmas and New Year for maintenance work. Please check with rail companies that they are working normally then.

4 for £25 is a bargain offer - may have to do it on train in that case

Thameslink have the special timetable that they will be running between 28 and 30 December on-line here:-
