No P&R for Newport game

[fozzie's headband]

As there is no P&R for the Newport game my plan is to park at Mithras House and get the 25 bus from near The Avenue.
Does anyone know whether it's normal route stops and picks up from Village Way or is it from the A27?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Isn't there? That's a pretty poor show

Is there really no P&R for the Newport game?

I could understand it for the Villarreal, and Norwich games as they are friendlies, but the Newport game is a competitive cup match.

Blimey.

I e-mailed the club and they confirmed that at the moment there are no plans for there to be P&R available.

And this from Brighton & Hove Buses website:

Brighton & Hove Albion are NOT running any Park & Ride buses or special services for the first three friendly/cup games on the dates below.

Saturday 27 July, Tuesday 30 July and Tuesday 6 August.

Tickets for these matches DO NOT GIVE FREE TRAVEL. It is clearly stated on the match ticket so there will be no doubt as to there validity.

I think that's a mistake. Commuting means that my best option to get to the Norwich & Newport games via Mill Road.
Now, it's going to be a right pain in the arse.
Boooo

So presumably they are expecting those of us who HAVE to drive to fork out for the Uni car parks? That won't be popular.

So the club are now being selective about which games you get free transport for?

I think someone has already told the Newport County fans on their message board about free train travel from Haywards Heath...

Must admit I just assumed there was as it is a competitive match. Has the club made people aware and I just missed it ?

The club has to cover the cost of travel, with low attendances expected for all 3 games they would more than likely make a loss.

Nothing on the site.

If this is true then I suspect that the message was in a locked cabinet in a dark cellar with a big sign saying "beware of the tiger" at its entrance.

I thought that it was a condition for competitive matches that P&R had to be in operation but it appears not.

In answer to your question re the No. 25 it stops and picks up from both locations, as does the No. 23

Erm, what about fans whose ticket is on the smart card!.

Is the rattler still free from Brighton station

Using the same logic, it can't be.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

This is poor communication from the club again. I would have automatically presumed that a League cup game would include transport.

Can you park at Mithras then when there is no P&R arrangement? Anyway you can park on street all along there and in the side streets. Could get a train or a bus from there.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

No P&R isn't the same thing as no free travel on the buses or trains.

If it's not the normal transport arrangements, though, the Club should be telling us what is happening.
