Yes, just got to hope there aren't thousands of Southampton also trying to get on a service that will probably have just 3 carriages if its Southern Fail.

Mine have arrived now - huzzah
Southampton or not, there’ll be a lot of Albion wanting to be on that one. I may take the car instead.

Based on the match ending at 21.40 allow 30 minutes or so to get to the station. You should do it - fingers crossed! Ideal route - exit the away end and up Britannia Road towards Northam Road and turn left at the lights towards city centre. Follow the signs for city centre and, eventually, station. If in doubt ask, but it's quite an easy route, unlike Yeovil!

I could be mis-reading this, and admittedly the connection is very tight (which is probably why it isn't suggested by the websites), but there is a later train from Southampton to Littlehampton at 22:33 which gets in at 23:40. There is a 23:42 out of Littlehampton to Brighton.......
Good to know if I miss the 22.21 there is that later train!
That’s ok then. If I miss the connection I can kip in your spare room.
(Or just get a cab home)
Train it is.

If you walk straight to station after the match finishes you'll make that no problem

23.41! According to Southern timetable - 60 seconds, the clock is ticking down!

Still showing as a 23:40 arrival and 23:42 departure from LA when I look at it on National Rail and Southern websites, but I'm pretty confident the earlier train out of Southampton is do-able anyway. I'm certainly expecting to catch it.
If Southern and the police have even the vaguest understanding of the situation(?!), they surely won't want several hundred Albion fans stranded halfway between Southampton and Brighton - you'd like to think they would hold the connection at Littlehampton.
I wouldn't be amazed if they put on some kind of 'special'; it's certainly happened in the past for matches down that way.

I understand your sentiments and logic here, but we are talking Southern. Having made innumerable journeys on the train from/to Southampton and Brighton for Albion matches many of those journeys have resulted in delays, terminations or cancellations. Take your pick. I sincerely hope that Southern do not cock it up for probably hundreds of fans trying to get back to Sussex so late in the evening, but I won't hold my breath. In another post I mentioned that the last evening game we played at Southampton (2010) Southern actually provided a football special after the game for Albion fans to get back to Brighton.
I wonder what the chances are of that happening again?

Southampton went all the way down to the ALL STH points level. Really surprises me that, for one of our closest games, is the novelty starting to wear off for some people?
Is it PotG?

We've had Spurs, Arsenal, Man U and Chelsea, the interest might rise again for Man City and Liverpool.
