Travelling to games at Falmer

[Bobby's Gull]

Bus for me, the 29a stops outside my house and it stops at Falmer. Probably take an hour and a half, but that is the same amount of time it takes for me to get to Withdean when driving and then using the park and ride.

I live at Fiveways and I voted bus, but I think I'll be using a number of methods. To get there I'll use the train occasionally from London Road (if I'm getting there early perhaps to meet people), or walk across Hollingbury golf course and down through Wild Park if it's good weather, or get the Mrs to drop me off. To get home I'll either use the 25 bus to the Vogue Gyratory, or walk to the Vogue Gyratory if the buses are rammed or not running, or get the Mrs to pick me up.

I definitely will NOT be getting the train back as I think it will be murder. (Over 60% of people think they'll use the train!) I've also got no intention of hanging around the ground afterwards, unless they're dishing out free KFC.


EDIT: My use of bus or train depends on the Travel Voucher. If they're still free or £1 a game then fine. If I've got to pay the standard amount then I'll walk, or go by car, either as a driver or a passenger.

Are the parking spaces at the University for the exclusive use of 1901 Club members? Or can the Ruffian classes buy spaces too?

Very good question - but I dont know. Depends on the overall take up by 1901 members I guess.

It is interesting that when you go to other grounds, like Charlton, Leeds or Aston Villa, that you get private organisations ( local factories, schools, or whatever) offering matchday parking on their own land for a reasonable price - £5/£10 per car.

Could be quite lucrative for any organistaions like this in the NE Brighton area, and would offer a very useful service.

If the Mid Sussex seagulls takes off (And I think it will) Coach from Haywards Heath / Burgess Hill

Rumour had it that one of the members of Falmer Parish Council (who no longer lives in the village, but was - apparently - bitterly opposed to the stadium) was planning to do exactly that with one of his fields.

No easy journey on public transport from Sevenoaks so I will continue to travel by car. Happy to park some distance from the ground and walk the last mile or so if that's possible. Alternatively I would be happy to pay along the lines of Smart Marks post

 

[burrish-gull]

50 seater coach from Burwash and Heathfield, straight in and straight out of the ground, no messing around

 

[Meade's Ball]

Perry texted me the other day about the date the canal will have finished construction. Not until sometime around Christmas, he said. I have a year-long rental of a love-barge created for Quincy on which i shall simply lounge v-neckedly and innately attract women who should very much know better. I have has transportable lab too in the hull of the beast where i carry out some very interesting experiments with my Chinese friend, Sam. At the minute Sam is looking to amphibianise a dog, the Toadoberman Project as he likes to call it, but i am still concentrating on unsolved murder cases of the early 80s and being unnecessarily angry about everything. Anyway, once the canal is up and running i'll travel down on my barge, setting off on a Thursday evening. At season-start, i'll go by train, like most other mugs.

Oh. Sorry. I must have missed that.

Drive from Wales, park in Woodingdean, then cycle down Falmer Road.

 

[portslade seagull]

Voted for car .... But during the old Goldstone days there used to be football specials ( buses ) running from all over town.. Just wondered if this could be a option ... think at the time it was 50p or thereabouts eachway... used to catch the woodingdean bus at 1.30-ish

 

[Braders]

let the train take the strain

buses for when the inevitable strikes happen with the train

will walk when I absolutely have to.

 

[Return of the Rev]

train i think,how many people are going to drink in lewes before games? I think away fans will do that from time to time

 

[then and now]

5 min walk to Hikers Rest then a walk to the ground

 

[Beach Hut]

Train, however night games will be a bit tight on time - perhaps we could revert to 20:00 hrs KOs for night games ?

 

[Martinf]

Train or bus from Lewes.

 

[severnside gull]

Car for me as I don't fancy 20 hours on public transport for the return trip

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

In regards to the suggestion of private companies letting out parking, there would be room at Crowhurst Road and Moulsecoomb Way, any good for a P&R?

Also, are there still spaces in Woodingdean where there used to be an industrial estate?

 

[Garage_Doors]

Still no responce LB for the cycle question ?

It works out as £1 a game if you pay £25 for a book of vouchers to go with a ST , bought individually alongside a match ticket won't they cost more , say £2 ?
