Brighton Fan here to help if u have any questions

Quoted from Brighton Trawler

Shame to see this, thought it was a decent forum until now.

It was a joke.  

Quoted from Brazilnut

Honestly mate  I am sure this was said with  tongue in cheek with huge smile on face

All the Brighton fans that have come on here have been brill and a credit to your club  

Thanks.  Somebody got it.  It somehow seems worse with the word 'sodomist".  The word it replaced starting with 'b', ending with 'r' with a couple of 'g's" in the middle is often used in an endearing way.   #banter #joke #Britishhumour  #obvousappreciatetheoopistionfangivinghistime

Brighton racecourse I'd guess. I'm doing the same minus the 'baggage' of the shoppers 😄
Nice steady drive across the coast into Brighton, drop the girls off and head to the racecourse which isn't far away by the looks of google maps

Hi both,  another Brighton fan in peace.

Been reading this thread since the draw, and kudos to my fellow BHAFC fan who has answered all your questions and started this thread ...

My thoughts on this one, drive from Eastbourne to Brighton racecourse and use that Park & Ride. It's free. Parking in Brighton is anything but!

You can then get the free park and ride bus to the game from the racecourse or, if you wanted to have a drink in the city centre / drop the girls in town, get another bus (i think its the 22 outside the hospital or get a cab) into town and then the train to Falmer (bit of a faff).

If you wanted to have a drink at the Park & Ride, the Fox on the Downs is a lovey pub at the top of the hill.

Final advice (for all) , give yourself enough time.

Question for any of the Brighton supporters, I noticed Lewes ladies have Man U in the cup and have sold out, I think their ground holds around 3,000 so I assume parking will be harder in and around the Lewes area?

Yes, unfortunetly for you. It will be busier. That game kicks off at 12.30, so a lot of the parking might already be taken. Hard to say if the town will be full up, but it will be busy.

Lewes has amazing pubs.

yes mate, don't worry we totally get that   and when I heard about your swear filter that was hilarious - did more harm than good on this occasion

Another question for you guys - I saw that trains from Brighton station are put on for anyone going to the match...with it being a sunday will they still be super regular?

Also, might sound like a daft question but do they check tickets when getting on those trains? I'm meeting my friend who has my ticket at the stadium y'see.

One more daft question (promise) - do you know if they have those lockers that you can pay to use at Brighton station? I'm working in London the following few days and dont fancy carrying my bag full of clothes and my laptop to the match hah.

No problems mate ...

Train times as follows from Brighton to Falmer on Sunday

1205 - 1211
1217 - 1227
1247- 1257
1305 - 1311
1317 - 1327 - absolute latest you want to get the train.

You could be waiting for 30+ minutes in the queue so aim for the train before the one you want to get.

They won't check tickets.

I'm pretty sure the there is no luggage store (could be wrong), but there is a facility close to the station (just had a google). It's close to The Laines as well which is 10/10 for pubs.

Is getting an Uber to the ground a viable alternative to queueing for a packed train, or is getting there by road just a complete write-off altogether?
