Pandemonium Alert - Children's Parade 4th May 10am -12pm - Home to Wolves KO likely12:30PM

[Deleted User X18H]

I've never even heard of the children's parade, so it can't cause all that much disruption, can it? As Lush said, it's only an issue for those with an inflated sense of their (or their family's) own importance.

You never heard of the Children's Parade? It is a long held tradition here in Brighton and kicks off the festival.

Brighton is not all about Brighton & Hove Albion you know!

They won't make the final day KO's 12.30pm.

It would be unfair on travelling supporters, and the precedent is 3.00pm.

I must have dreamt being at Barnsley last season for a 12.30pm k/o

No, no I haven't. I've heard of the Burning of the Clocks. I've heard of Pride. I've heard of SmashEDO and their chums, they like to have parades too, I think. The whole Festival thing is entirely overrated though, let's be honest. If you popped into the city during May you could quite easily pass it by. Don't think that because you live there, the whole world is watching you. They might want to go and see some bloke at the Komedia that month, but does anyone whose kids aren't in it actually know this children's parade is on, much less care? No.

It will have absolutely zero impact on the Albion.

It will be a nasty reality if you don't leave early if you plan to travel by road , anywhere west off East Street on May 4th.

Just a heads up.

It's basically the one game you CANNOT change the date or time of. Combined with one of the most disrupted mornings of the year in Brighton.

Indeed, the 27s terminate at the station

There's a chance the last games could be on the sunday as was previously the case.

We are talking about kids from every primary and infant school, plus clubs and associations. In Brighton , Hove, Portslade , Shoreham , Southwick and Saltdean. And thier teachers and their parents.

Walking (slowly) from London Road from east to west to the seafront. Most roads close at 9:am and reopen at 1pm. Including North Street and Kingsway.

That's the Brighton Festival that has had public events that clash with the last day of the football season every year since 1967.

Wow. I must make a note in my diary. Wouldn't want to miss that one.

Although for 30 of those years the football was in Hove. For another 11 we had ONE match that matched the circumstances and that was on a Sunday.

May 4th could of course be the biggest game in Albion's history.

It's also international Star Wars day

My daughter went to school in Shoreham.

Never heard of the Children's Parade. And what sort of nutter goes to specifically watch loads of kids walking along roads?

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

[MENTION=588]8ace[/MENTION] May the 4th be with us and the children then.

There's several answers to that question....

Smash EDO is more of a riot than a parade 'edna'

I seem to run into it every year trying to get to the train station. The carnage it causes can best be summed up as having to wait a couple of minutes to cross Sydney Street.

Quite
