*** the official what time did you get home tonight thread ***

[The Wookiee]

Bit premature I know but Going into extra time, I wonder how the travel infrastrure coped tonight ?

 

[Bold Seagull]

This was the scene 2mins ago as club officials and staff rush to erect temporary accommodation in adjacent field!!

 

[chimneys]

Am predicting a few horror stories. Lets open book-Bennetts Field car park opens at 11.15?!

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Or HOW will the infrastructure cope tonight if it goes to penalties?....Oh? CMS has just scored! Hopefully, forget the penalties.

How many of those who live in the east of the county will be stranded? What about those in London? Will the wartime spirit prevail? Will the club arrange billets & lodgings? Everyone will have a story to tell no doubt.

I suspect there is going to be lots of & tomorrow.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Keep the bars open until Saturday.

Just announced that they have told supporters that not all fans will be able to get home.

Unbelievable.We spend 5 years building this fine stadium and the poxy Southern Rail system cannot keep up.

Sort it out Southern Rail or whatever you are called now!


THE NEXT TRAIN HAS ALREADY GONE!

Just mentioned on 5Live that Stadium Announcer has said not all fans will be able to stay until end if they want to get train home!! Also Sunderland due to fly back from Gatwick at 11.30pm!! Oh dear!!

 

[Bold Seagull]

So trains tonight for those interested, departing Falmer for Brighton:
22.27 / 22.38 / 22.47 / 23.02 / 23.16 / 23.27 / 23.39 / 23.44

Falmer for Lewes:
22.28 / 22.34 / 22.44 / 22.53 / 23.16 / 23.34 / 23.44

So should be okay!?

Travel to Hastings after the Gillingham game was a nightmare without the extra time and penalties. 5Live just mentioned a tannoy announcement regarding last trains, although I don't think you can blame the club for the poor travel; connections.

Personally any midweek games I attend will have to be travel by car at least some of the way to Lewes or Eastbourne stations

I think the concern is for those with connections to make, which they could well not if they are not on early trains/at front of queue.

f***ing unbelievable. The Rail company knew the chance of extra time & penalties was always highly likely. The need for more park & ride, especially for fans coming from the east of the county is urgent even if they only run it for evening games. Those who have a mare getting home tonight (probably everyone) will be reluctant to use public transport for an evening game again.

Do those trains include any 'specials'. Do they even run them for midweek games?

I'm already home!

23.16 gets you to London Bridge okay. Looks to me that the rail has put on as much as they could?

Going to be tight then, people would of been f***ed if it went to pens tonight ?

It is surely up to an individual to make their own travel plans according to the services available? You can't really expect Southern to change the entire mainline Brighton to London service on the chance there might be pens?
