Pre-match bonus for Southampton (h)

[Half Man Half Biscuit]

The Albion are obviously the love of our lives, but if you fancy a brief flirtation with a mistress then you could do worse than a trip to the Dripping Pan before our match with Southampton on January 2.

The Rooks have moved their local derby with Horsham forward to a noon kick off making a double-header of football action a breeze.

The Dripping Pan is less than a five minute walk from Lewes station, Lewes to Falmer is a 7 (seven) minute train ride, you can sup a pint of Harveys on the terrace and, furthermore, anyone under the age of 16 gets in for FREE. What's not to like?

Buses are a Sunday service that day, train service is a Saturday service, presumably with the normal matchday extras. I am trying to find out if Lewes station car park is free that day (it is on Sundays).

If you want to free (bus) Park and Ride from Lewes then:
Parking at County Hall, Lewes, will be free to staff and members of the public from Saturday 24 December 2011 to Monday 2 January 2011 inclusive. The 28/29 bus stop is adjacent to this car park, on the High Street.

Sounds like a great idea HMHB, thanks for this.

How are Lewes doing? Has Steve King done a great job? Promotion on the cards?

liking that idea, after a 10 day stint with the missus, a bit of me time is needed before returning to work.

Lewes 4th, 40 points from 21 games. Got a great, tricky (Italian!) flair winger who helped get 3 Tooting players sent off on saturday by all accounts.

Horsham bottom, 2 wins all season.

Harveys £2.90/pint from memory, 70p cheaper than the Amex. Drink 14 pints and get your £10 entrance money back!

Another top draw match poster from Lewes advertising this game. The Wizard of Ouse (I know) refers to Christian Nanetti who is a tricky winger with a box of skills to match.

Yes, great idea HMHB. Myself and approx. 4 other Albion fans are going to Lewes before the Saints game. The timing is perfect, and the trains so easy, it's silly to stay at home. See you all there !

.... What's not to like?

er....the football?

Sadly, looks like an easy win for Lewes. My home town team are bottom of the league and on a awful run 2 points from 18 games, including losing the last 7 in the league and looking like certs for relegation

A timely reminder about this if you're up for a football double-header on Monday. Better than work on a Monday morning...

Worst. Poster. Ever.

They'll be disappointed with that effort

Got a Saints fan down for the weekend and he fancies this one. Quick question - what is getting on a Falmer-bound train from Lewes at about 2pm like?

Fairly busy but there are six trains that run after the final whistle from Lewes which will get you to Falmer in time for kick off so no need to panic.

Not the best. Agreed. But look at some of these ... first class in my opinion http://www.flickr.com/photos/61081400@N00/sets/72157625656423733/show/
