Go to Hove Park for 10ish. Watch unveiling of Heritage Plaque. Walk the 6.5 miles, past the Withers to Falmer. Stand in utter amazement from about 1230ish, eat, drink and be merry.
There is more information here but it doesn't actually say whether you can pay by cash so it's not much help really: http://www.buses.co.uk/news/story.aspx?articleid=557

These buses would be much easier for me as well, but I couldn't figure out whether I could use them without a travel voucher. I don't want to buy a book of vouchers for four trips to the stadium this season, and the match by match vouchers don't seem to be available at the moment (although I'm happy to be corrected on that if anyone knows differently). My original plan was to park in Coldean and walk across, but that looks like it is being discouraged hence my elaborate 'home made park and ride'.
It might be worth emailing B & H Buses. They are usually quite quick to respond.
Er, that's next saturday isn't it?
Nope, Heritage Plaque thing is tomorrow.
That's annoying; going to walk from the Goldstone for the Donny game.

Cool, see you there! I reckon if the weather holds up it will be a great way to waive goodbye and say goodbye. After the walk, i will move on in my mind from the Goldstone saga (last nights play helped as well). I will not forget but i will put it squarely in the past. The physical and mental act of 'moving on', to try and put it into words. I kinda grew up at the Goldstone and became a man at the Withers and i hope to grow old at Falmer.
The great thing about the walk is that its a personal thing. Enjoy your walk next saturday.
If anyone else is interested have a look at Tim Carders great document here: http://bhasc.com/docs/Goldstone_Amex_walk.pdf
I've just put my back out this morning, I'll still be there at 9:45 tomorrow, but will be definitely retiring to the pub after the unveiling. I was thinking about doing the walk but my body has put in a protest.
I blame them old seats at the theatre last night!

Me too. I'll be on here reading with interest the impressions and opinions who are going though.
Funny how the actualy match has barely got a mention.

Leave my flat in Lewes Road 12ish. Walk to Falmer chatting to fellow Seagulls. Enjoy rollercoaster of emotions walking up to stadium. Find seat. Introduce self to people around me (North Stand N1A U 310, anyone?) Video the lot for my mate in Oz who has supported the Albion far longer than I have and can't be there Buy pie. Cheer my f*ckin heart out as the Albion run on to the pitch.

Think I will stick with my Withdean routine which was using the Mithras House P & R except I willl leave home 1 hour earlier at about 12.15. Been tempted to use the R Bus from Rottingdean but trying to get on a 12 to Seaford after the match will surely be difficult as the 12s are usually packed at that time of night with Brighton Shoppers.
