[Albion] Security for Palace game

[atomised]

But that is what I want to do, namely come out of the East Stand Upper and simply turn left to go to the bridge car Park. But that is anti-clockwise, though by far the most sensible route. I emailed the club imploring them to be specific and received a reply stating blandly that I must follow the clockwise route, which would mean I would have to walk past the South and then all the way round to the West stand to get to the pathway leading to the Bridge Car Park. Madness, considering, as I understand it, the Palace lot are being kept in the stadium.

to go clockwise from the east you wouldn't be able to pass the south. it's all about siphoning palace through kettle style

That would be anti clockwise….
Confusion reigns. Surely if Palace are being kept in it doesn’t matter which way people walk ? That used to be part of the point of keeping away fans in.

exactly - just keep Palace locked in - we all go home as normal and after 25 minutes, if any Brighton are still making their way out, then just THOSE fans have to adhere to the clockwise nonsense

I read it as if you are heading to the coach park then you won't be able to pass the away end so you have to go clockwise. for every one heading to the station/Bridge Carpark etc head in your normal direction (unless of course that takes you past the away end).

isn’t the Coach park directly behind the away end ? The direction you walk makes no difference.

Thanks all. I think I'm going to turn left and see how it goes.

You cannot access the coach park or P & R from the away stand (South) as this is blocked off by police including horses and stewards. You can only access from the East Stand area hence the anti clockwise instruction.

Sorry to be obtuse but do you mean the clockwise instruction ?

There’s a game on in Southampton. Might be easier to go to that one.

Hmmm I am flip flopping as to whether to let my sons go (9 and 11). Originally I was thinking not mainly due to school night, but now there are school strikes I was more tempted. But now this thread has me lurching towards not taking them again.

Seems like there is a lot of good feedback on here as to what went wrong last year, if only we had a Fan Advisory Board to pass that back to the club and ask them to action it...

Mine have been going to Palace game since they were 5 and 8, they love it

I took this route from West stand last year to get back to coach park ... as suggested by someone on here. Worked really well. Hopefully OK to do it again this year!

I'm in the North and getting the coach, so will try this tonight.

It was horrendous last time going clockwise out the North, massive jam.

Definitely do that. I'm doing the same journey from the East Upper and I'll be turning left if that reassures you (or worries you!).

sorry should have said clockwise, pre match nerves!!

Thank you, we took your advise and it worked fine.
