We haven't needed this for a while - travel advise to a game.

Jnr has a cup game meaning having to schlep all the way over to near Haywards Heath Hospital.

In an ideal world the latest we'll leave the game is 11:30.

Begging the question:-

Do I then bomb round the A272 to the A23
Or
Go pretty much straight down the B2112, Wivlesfield & The Beacon?

I have Bennett's parking, so no faffing about time is needed.

St Francis ? Doesn't matter much at the mo I don't think - with so few fans attending the routes in are easy anyway..................(would usually avoid A23 the A27 as getting off at the Falmer roundabout can take ages). I usually go via Lewes meself as approaching the ground from the East always seems so much quieter - might be just as easy to do that from the hospital. Only problem you'll have on any of the roads other than the A23 on Sunday morning - especially the Beacon - is of course the number of ****ing CYCLISTS :moo:

Last game there was barely any traffic at all, a short queue up the Falmer slip road. You’ll have time for a pie!

Yeah that's them.

I was mainly wondering if the A road double back was worth considering.
I'm familiar with the lanes just not how much of a ballache it is to get back to the A23.


It's ok about my brethren on 2 wheels as we have a secret code for when one of our own is driving.

On the Beacon on a Sunday morning I always picture the motorist stuck behind me as admiring my effort and encouraging me onward.

Are you suggesting this might not be the case? :shrug:

Any hint of extra time and I'm leaving him there and his manager can get him to the AMEX. :lol:

Maybe you should run the line incase a late equaliser needs ruling out!!

Dunno, I'm usually running up there on a Sunday, not driving. Always good to have a chuckle at all the red-faced MAMILS on their expensive machines collapsed next to the gate and give them a cheery 'Good Morning' :lolol::lolol:

"But how did you see that from all the way back at the halfway line?"
"Don't argue with the match official".
