Sussex Police

[Jameson]

It is tough for our fans that don't live in Brighton; I'm guessing the majority of our fans don't actually live within the city limits. Two of my pals who have shelled out for season tickets are now likely to miss both the Palace and Leeds games as it's virtually impossible to do the night games from the west country by public transport and do your day job. They are none too pleased about that.

One thing Sussex Police told me yesterday is that they will not be doing any 'holding the away fans inside after the game' type stuff at the Amex.

Just what we wanted to hear !

It's been illegal for about five years, hasn't it.

Not sure about that. However all the games against the perceived big clubs were likely to be moved or KO times ameneded. Pompey at home will be quite sure about that.

You haven't got it have you? The Leeds game has been moved to Friday for one reason only ... Sussex University's car park isn't available to Albion fans on the Saturday, because of an event at the university. The game would have been moved, even if it was against Barnsley or Hull.

If you look on the University website, you'll see that Sussex University can veto games on dates that don't suit them:-

Q: What happens if the University is holding an open day or admissions day when the football club wants to play a home match?

A: Under the licence agreement between the University and Brighton & Hove Albion, the University would notify the club if it were unable to provide car parking on any of the proposed dates on the club's fixture list. The club would then come up with an alternative date.

You know, i do tire of your reasoned and researched responses to thoughtless blather. When will you be overtaken by a simpleminded paranoia that seems to dominate the most of us?

The only police request was that we play Palace at home on a Tuesday night. No other police interference in our fixtures.

Not quite ... I'm reliably informed that they (and the Club) did flag up Saturday 10 September as a day that they would prefer the Albion to be playing away.

Lord B,

Giraffe is quite correct, if the club and the Uni come to any arrangements its outside our remit. The agreements with the Uni and the club are similar to alot of other agreements across the country with their neighbours.

Wouldn't it have been a lot simpler for the club to say the Leeds game had been moved forward a day on Police advice due to admissions day on the 24th at the Uni and there was inadequate parking facilities for both Uni attendees and football supporters ? By just saying it was moved on Police advice sent out all the wrong messages.

too many words for a lot of posters on here to take in in one go ?

The unavailabity of the University of Sussex car parks means the club cannot comply with the conditions of use (ie minimum 2,000 car parking spaces within 1.5km radius) for the Amex Stadium as specified in the planning consent. That's why the Leeds fixture, and any others similarly affected, have to be moved; it's got nothing to do with the police and I don't see the point, if that's what your suggesting, of pushing this on to them. The initial brief from Leeds Utd is unfortunate but, if the transparency of communication they've received from BHA is anything like the patronising, lazy, evasive side stepping that anyone posting a query on ATC about stadium transport have had to put up with in recent weeks then I'm not at all surprised. I'm 100% with Ed on this, the silence is deafening, the adjective I'd use is disgraceful.

Some of the local chavs need sorting, so it's perhaps the intention to get 3,000 Leeds down to West Street on Friday night to do it.

Cab drivers beware though, as if their job wasn't bad enough

Call me niave if you wish but two of our biggest games Leeds and Pystal Chalace are eveniing games how do they propose getting everybody out of the ground and on trains etc late ate night. There is already massive concern about supporters leaving the ground as people are not sure of how it will work and how easy it will be with 20000 leaving mostly as soon as the game ends. Prpobably no more than 2000 will wait behind until later. I would have thought that a Saturday afternoon would have been a lot easier for both games and no more difficult for the police to patrol and supervise. Other forces manage larger crowds without a problem.
