I love people like you.

f*** the rest of you, I'm alright Jack!

It's lucky most people abide by the request to not park in the restricted area. It's really no bother to use the park and ride, a bus or a train. If we all just parked as close as possible, the local residents could have been so pissed off that they'd have written to the council objecting to the extension to the temporary use of Withdean due to not complying with the restrictions the club agreed to. Let's hope we don't need another extension in a few years time when the doom and gloom merchants predictions for Falmer materialise.

In the meantime, you just keep jeopardising our future, and I'll remember to thank you if it all goes tits up.

Bright1064, please use the park and ride. If you're late for the game it won't be because the service wasn't available and you'll have to walk a lot shorter distance than if you park in a local street.

Nice one Uncle Buck! Ill get you a beer for that. Fantastic scenes.
 














Its people like you that are responsible for the situations in Zimbabwe, Georgia and Buxted!
You've left Falmer off that list.

The situation is IDENTICAL to Falmer. There are local people in that village who support the Albion and will park their cars outside their own houses. There are local people at Withdean who support the Albion and park their cars outside their own houses - some of them only a short distance from the South Stand turnstiles.

It's shocking, I know. We are just going to have to live with it.

Oh well.

I am still going to park really near the South Stand turnstiles.

As Lord Bracknell has already stated that you live within the exclusion zone, of course you can park there.

Indeed, when I lived within the exclusion zone myself, my car was always parked within the zone during matches. Thats surely why the club asked for my car registration number with my season ticket application? ???

I feel I have started a very valid debate here!

HOWEVER...

It's completely irrelevant to me now, because my mate is no longer coming! I was told this AFTER I had bought him a ticket, and now I have to get the train in from Worthing!!

BAD TIMES

Interesting point being raised here about what's actually illegal, as opposed to merely antisocial. No doubt a truly imaginative lardarse could even get away with driving his car right into the stadium and parking beside the pitch without breaching any law. Why not give it a try?

I happened upon a revolutionary idea a few seasons ago. I call it Park and WALK. This involves leaving one's car at the Mill Road park-and-ride site and then -- studiously ignoring the temptations of all those special buses that wheeze by, windows streaming with the beery breath of all those clearly unfit or elderly, blue-and-white clad Albion Bunters -- WALKING (a complex process involving alternating use of the feet and dozens of muscles and ligaments) for as long as 20 entire minutes, before arriving - miraculously unassailed by lurking murderers or other people's body odour - at the Theatre of Trees. (I understand that oxygen cylinders can can be made available for those completing this Herculean, strength-sapping ordeal.)

I can only assume that the original poster and his 'friend' must be disabled, or quite possibly American, to be so unacquainted with this particular method of getting about.

As Lord Bracknell rightly says, it's perfectly possible to arrive at Mill Road as late as 20 minutes before kick-off and still get into the ground on time. Whether you actually try getting on one of the buses, or not.

What a brilliant idea. My main objection with P and R is waiting for a bus after the match, since I am unwilling to miss the end of the match to get to the front of the queue. However, walking back up that hill after a drubbing in the cold and wet may not be so appealing!!

carden avenue has NEVER been in the excusion zone.the bit nearest to london road has often been coned (spelling?)as no parking by the plod(temporary parking restriction as is their right. not exclusion zone) but the rest from the first bus shelter up on the right has always been fair game
