Quick parking question for Tuesday

[bright1064]

My mate is driving down from Sutton to see the game with me on Tuesday.

Can someone please tell me the best place for him to park (pref. free) so that he can get to the Withdean?

He won't mind walking for a bit, but nowhere too far away!

Cheers

Preston Drove is about as close as you can get that is not in the parking fee zone set by our planning permission to hold games at the club

about a 5-10 minute walk along London Road

oh and I just realised I missed you on tele!

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Mill Road P&R and use the bus service to Withdean. If he doesn't have a ticket in his possession at the time, he should tell the steward who collects the travel vouchers at the bus that he's picking up his ticket at the ground.

We are not going to be getting into Brighton until about 7pm, isn't that a little late for P&R? I'd prefer to park up nearby in the car if poss...

 

[Hercules Rockerfeller]

I am sure most people would, but rules is rules. The P&R is pretty good. It is there for one specific reason, to get you to the game on time!

Is Carden Avenue still a goer? Drove past on the day of the Ipswich game to be confronted with a police sign saying residents only which i dont recall ever being there before. Just wondering whether there had been a bit of a clampdown.

Park and ride at Mill Road runs until virtually kickoff so it's your best bet

carden avenue will be empty but if you take the roundabout(A23/A27) following the signs for lewes go round the first roundabout back towards the A23 and do a quick left,follow the road down and turn right at the ladys mile pub and park up near the school you are guaranteed a parking spot about a quarter of an hours walk

 

[clarkey]

carden avenue will be empty

By that do you mean we are no longer allowed to park there or that there will be plenty of spaces?

People seem to park in the Brangwyn area no problems, then its just a 5 minute walk

 

[Uncle Buck]

I am going to park right by the ground.

Parking restrictions? f*** 'em.

I live 2 or 3 roads away from Withdean, and my normally quiet, beautiful, peaceful, and idyllic residential haven is PACKED with cars on a matchday. It's the same in Valley Drive, Colebrook Road, Eldred Avenue etc. Just drive to Withdean, and I GUARANTEE you will find a space to park within 5 minutes walk.

Fair enough!

I just don't want to have my mate landed with a fine etc..

 

[bright1064]

He won't. No chance. There is nothing they can/will do, unless you park in the coned area (which is only the bit literally right next to Withdean). Put it like this, I've parked in the 'restriction zone' for every single match we've ever played at Withdean (i.e. my car sits outside my house) and I've never had a problem, nor seen a problem with any of the albion fans who park outside.

I don't know if I should trust you Badger. We all know what a little scamp you can be sometimes!

 

[bright1064]

I am something of a ROGUE, I'll admit

Park wherever the hell you like, and if you get a fine I'll pay it!!

I like to think of you as a loveable rogue!

And I'll hold you to that "paying for it" statement!

Due to the fact I want to and I can, if I clip a steward with the car whilst doing this, well that is a pre match bonus.
