when falmer is done what pub will you use pre match?

[S'hampton Seagull]

Will probably drink in the town centre as I do now and just get the train from Brighton to Falmer

 

[Albion Rob]

I think probably the Gildredge in Eastbourne before hopping on the train at 2.15pm and getting in the ground at 2.50pm.

YES!

 

[SurreySeagulls]

Coming from Guildford I have yet to decide my drinking habits. Currently I pop into the Crown & Anchor. So I haven't really answered your question. Apologies.

 

[CHAPPERS]

I wish the Railway would buy some decent furniture. It's a mish mash of shit chair and tables and really isn't set up well to watch football.

 

[Buzzer]

Might go for the Park Crescent but I reckon THE ONLY PUB FOR PROPER ALBION FANS is the Hiker's Rest in Coldean.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

i am looking forward to a mass traipse from the downs hotel woodingdean at 14.30/45 over the falmer road depending on your bladder. i might just do the plough rottingdean and boot it all the way though.

You'll be leaving before the pub is open ................................

 

[Storer68]

Of course, any answers to this question, will have to hope that said pubs have not gone bust in the meantime during 'the great depression re-visited'

although i am quite happy if this miserablly hosted establishment suffers a change of management...........

think it's because they would rather not have football on. yeah furniture is terrible and it's so dark in there. usually there's no one behind the bar to serve ....... don't bother going there much these days

 

[Southover Street Seagull]

If they changed the management there it could make an absolute mint on match days.

If you are suggesting that The Swan is run by a misarable manager, and you are referring to the current owner I can only assume that you caught him on an off day. He is in fact a most genial host, and I will have no hesitation in using his establishment for a pre-match drink should he decide to open on match days.

Well unless he chooses to cut his own nose off to spite his face - & close his doors on match days: he'll probably make as much money in those few hours than he'd take all week!

ps Excellent shout by THPP. A fans boozer is definitely the way forward I reckon.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Apart from the fact its barely big enough for about 15 people.

 

[Taybha]

Not that i drink but will there not be any alcohol available at the ground? if totty does want to drink before hand prob the hikers

 

[Twinkle Toes]

No prob's there ATF. He can whack-on an enormous extension, & concrete the pond so he can stick a load of tables on it. He could even do a BBQ (when the weather suits) 'n' all. The locals can come out & party with us. Perfick!

 

[Napper]

Is the swan the nearest boozer , if so then I will use that if open on a sat. Providing it's not a sportsman # 2

Otherwise will just continue to drink in town and get the 9 min train to falmer

i remember when i worked for southern water at falmer in the early nineties it was a f***ing miserable unwelcoming place, to say the least. they had two universities and a big works on their doorstep ,and they still came across like ungrateful c unts who would have just preferred the odd shepherd in a smock and a clay pipe.

 

[scooter1]

I wonder whether drinking at the Uni will be ok, they have a wealh of half decent bars and of course its cheap as chips.... Otherwise for me it'll be as it is at the moment - Caxton Arms just round the corner from Brighton station

 

[dougdeep]

I might take in a few Lewes pubs on the way through.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The Bracknell shillings will be spent in either or both of the Gardeners Arms in Lewes and the Supporters' Bar at Falmer.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

abergavenny at rodmell, just a gentle stroll across the downs
