[Travel] Pyecombe park and ride

[Seagull in the 'Sham]

Here's the Pycombe collection point, or at least that's where it was last time after Bournemouth. Our driver dropped us off at the regular P&R location pre match, so it caused a bit of confussion at full time trying to find the pick up point; and the first few stewards we asked had no idea where collection point was, but eventually found a someone in the know. We walked straight onto a bus and were back at the car in about 20 minutes.
Shame for those who had a bit of a mission getting to the ground pre match, but as another poster says, busses aren't immune to traffic on the A27 (unless we can lobby for a bus lane?). I had an over excited 10 year old as a travelling companion, so we were headed to the ground at about 11:30 to soak up pre-match, and it took about 15 minutes to get to the stadium.
Hopefully I have a similar experience on Sunday, as I'm feeling a bit evangelical about Pycombe at the moment and I would love to see it become a permanant offering. Mill Road is miserable, having to sacrifice the last 10 minutes of the match or suffer an hour long queue to get on a bus takes is just a bit rubbish for supporters.

I've used Pyecombe a few times.
That is usually the collection point.

I know you have helpfully already posted the picture but before I realised that I'd made this and want to post it otherwise it is a waste of effort

Would be very helpful if they had a map / picture on the PDF you download explaining where collection point is on the PDF you download when booking

Stewards all saying "up top" with no one having a clue what that means ain't too helpful ...

Thanks. Do you go past the away coaches and then go up the slip road towards where the bus stop is for the 25/23 buses?

Walk out the coach park and turn right on Village Way. Or walk up the ramp that starts at the NW corner and goes up to Brighton Uni.

yes, exactly that. No25 bus stop

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

I'd describe this as a very hit and miss park and ride. Shame EDF isn't open as well

I'm still not sure. Could you make the arrow a bit bigger please?

 

[Is it PotG?]

We've used this several times, always works a treat.

Clear as day where you're meant to board post match.

I know it's sort of already been covered but, when leaving from the family stand, what's the best route out of the stadium to the pick-up point? I can't picture the slope from the stadium up to Village Way and I would think that getting through the coach park could be a bit of a ballache.

Walk round past the norff and up behind the memorial garden.

Past the North Stand, up the slope furthest from the West Stand.

Uni and Bridge available... about 50 of each.

Frustratingly complicated business... I have booked car park and emailed support services to cancel the Pyecombe reservation.

Thank you both
