In theory, yes. The decision would need to be made by the City Council (in the case of the A270), or by the Highways Agency / Secretary of State (for the A27). But these processes take a little time. I'm certain that the A27 would be a no-no.

So I take it that this is now definately going ahead on boxing day?
Be interesting to see if the virgin club is open boxing day...if not there will also be those people who just use it as a parking space- as opposed to those who use the facilities before the game,
and there are a lot who do now looking to park somewhere.

I wouldn't be certain until I saw an official announcement from the Club. As someone high-up said to me last week ... "ees complicated".

Yep - and the A27 east and west turn-offs would be a nightmare but they could keep the lights on green for prolonged periods from both ends of Falmer Road and have two lanes filtering into the drop off zone. It would just need to be marshalled properly.

Re: P&R Boxing Day?
Dream outcome for the club is to go ahead with the match, avoid an FA fine, don't shell out for extra transport, and engineer a postponement due to weather conditions - safety issues on icy pavements with so many fans walking or something. Perhaps they have an eye on the advanced predictions for a cold end of year.

I'll keep a special eye out for the Boxing Day forecast.
Oooh good point. A light dusting of snow or even a good frost should do it. The pitch will be fine but the approaches will be terrible: icy pavements, walking, slipping, safety is paramount, can't be too careful, if it saves one life, etc etc etc.

Are we now suggesting the club somehow fakes some snow and ice? Maybe we can get the effects teams who work on movies involved?

Snow machines, and large industrial freezer units stationed all round the site.
Or, just build the bloody monorail - we all know it's the solution to all of this.
Spot on. As Papa say we can just hire fake snow machines, 'dress the set' as they say and then tell the League that the weather in Falmer is really bad despite the Met Office reporting that it's actually 6c
I mean, how difficult can it be?

This is the Biggest mountain i`ve ever seen come from a molehill ,it`s only a game of football go if you can stay at home if you can`t
Is the correct answer.

Home at Last.
I'll be travelling by Taxi, if the game is on. it seems to be the most logical answer.

If - when - maybe - perhaps?
Thanks to all other posters for the generally informative debate so far, but............does anyone know when the decision will be made/announced as to whether or not the Boxing Day match is going to be played on that day or come to that on another day?
Like other supporters, probably, I am already being asked to do other things on Boxing Day - it would help to know when to turn down other invites, with good reason, or how long the options need to be kept open!
Aplogies if it has been announced and I have missed it.

I've got a few snow machines. The guys that do the 'foam nights' in clubs have a few more...... it can be done.
Like longfellow, I too have to make other arrangements. Meant to be going away on the day of the FA Cup 4th round. Managed to put that on hold until I hear the draw but don't tell the Wife, thinks I'm waiting for the cost to go down!
