We used to always use Mill Rd, but once the bendy buses went we now get the train and Mill Rd bus back. Much more predictable

I have always been a bit suspicious of that Uncle Clive. Something not quite right there

I’d introduce NKVD style attendance ie once you’re inside you must sing in support, but if you retreat (leave early) then you face being shot by Albion ‘political’ officers. Got the job done on the eastern front!No one left early at the Goldstone or Withdean in the good old days

I have to say I never left Gillingham early. No point! My god, like a bad dream now. 2 years of back and forth slog. Good job was single then, marriage wouldn’t have survived it!No one left early at the Goldstone or Withdean in the good old days

Don’t leave your kids alone with him.
Oh shit, I knew I needed to remember to bring a couple of things back to the coach. Thought it seemed a bit quiet

Dropped off at one point, re-embark at another. Not ideal but home by 5.
All is good in the world.

Friend of ours who used it and missed kick-off reported that there was some kind of coastal army training run, presumably long-arranged, which meant that the Racecourse space had to be shared today
Nope - it's down to a couple of things :
1. The cut in capacity when the bendy buses were retired - capacity that has not been replaced by the club. The club just pay for x amount of buses not the capacity so B&H buses could supply x mini buses and still fulfill the contract. Rumour has it that x=8.
2. The horrendous traffic management - or lack of at the stadium exit, the first set of traffic lights near the farm shop, the run off at Patcham from the bypass and the slope to Falmer on the journey to the stadium.
The buses get caught at all those points. There should be some sort of priority put in for all public transport. The wait for todays return to Mill Road was the worst ever barring train strike days.

Nice twenty min detour to a mystery bus stop by the Swan pub (instructed by stewards) with a few others - to then learn the collection point was @ Brighton Uni
Still - traffic on the way back flowed at least and in by 6 (had stopped for a beer post Match)
