Just a bit of info for anyone going via/parking in Lewes - their women’s team have their biggest ever game on the same day, home to Man U in the QF of the FA Cup. This will significantly impact parking (and pubs !) as the game has sold out. The ground is also near the station so the immediate area will be much busier than usual (including the station car park). Game kicks off at 12:30.


What about parking at/near Eastbourne station? Would that be easier?


First game: 7/5/88 Aldershot (h) 1-1 (R)

Why on earth did Brighton build an out of town stadium with f#ck all parking?! I thought the idea was you either build in the town centre and make it park and ride, or you build out of town and make it car friendly. This is neither of those things. Seems completely ar#e about face to me.

We desperately needed a home and to cut a long story short, it was the best option that we could get approval for (and even that wasnt easy - trust me). Land down here is at a premium and all the other possible sites were violently opposed by councils/locals/green campaigners etc etc

We're used to it now and it is a great stadium but I fully understand why away fans find it a pain in the ar se

Brighton is surrounded by hills and the sea. It took over 10 years to find a site and get planning permission. In one sentence I've covered something that was probably one of the hardest things any club has ever achieved to get a stadium of their own.

At least our stadium is in the city and not in the next town along.

I'd hitchhike. Then use a basket boat, (easily borrowed off a fisherman or his friend). You'll have the time (end?) of your life .

Happy to help


Made me laugh that.  In my youth and without my missus, I'd have tried that. I'll try something in between your suggestion and my original plans.

We are staying in Newhaven and then plan to use the park and ride at the racecourse.

The wife and kids want to go into Brighton while I'm at the match. Would I have to drop them off in Brighton first or can they use the park and ride and get the train into Brighton from Falmer?

Yes, they can do that. Park at the racecourse (free), then bus to the ground with you (also free) and walk to Falmer Railway Station (that way they get to see the ground as well!   they can then get the train from Falmer to Brighton and meet them at the car at the end of the game, OR meet them in town (get the train back after the game).

Or, they could get a bus from Brighton Racecourse (Elm Grove) into town.

The stadium is officially in Brighton, the coach park is in Lewes. The site borders both so to speak.
