Actually worked OK tonight. Legged it out at the final whistle, made it on to the 1st train waiting at Falmer station, then straight on to train waiting at Brighton station which left two minutes later. Home in Wivelsfield by 11:00
Parked in Coledean on a friends drive - 20 mins walk from ground - in car at 10.40 - Shoreham 11pm.
A few more people should try walking - if you're willing to walk 20-30 mins theres loads of places to park on the outskirts of Brighton
Left in an orderly fashion at the final whistle, was sent the wrong way by two stewards but found my way to Falmer North bus stop anyway and was home in Lewes just before 2300.
Left at final whistle, walked to Mithras House, by some sheer fluke there was a cab there (cabbie had been to the game!) so was home in Preston Park by 23:10. Result!
