Brighton Fan here to help if u have any questions

I'm stopping in central Brighton with my kids on the Saturday night but need to get north straight after kick off. Where is the best place to park on the Sunday to be able to have a pint before the game but then be the right side of the Amex to head north after it finishes? Assuming it will be slow to head back into central Brighton and then try to get out again?

Tricky one this as quick getaways from The Amex are not really possible I'm afraid due to its quite remote location and lack of parking - so unless you leave on say 80 minutes to get the first train back to Lewes (in one direction) or Brighton city centre (in the other) but I guess you might not want to do that. However, the club's Park and Ride buses are pretty efficient and the Mill Road one will be definitely be best for anyone heading North afterwards, but, as always, you'll need to get parked there early before the match (2 hours ish before kick off) to get your car in, as its very popular. Then you could have drinks and enjoy the atmosphere with your fellow supporters in the stadium concourse.    

Top man. Was also wondering about parking at Falmer station on the Saturday and using public transport to get into Brighton and then back out on Sunday morning so don't know if that's feasible. Thanks for all the advice!

Now this is quite funny - Falmer station is absolutely tiny and probably has 10 spaces at most so I don't really think its feasible  

But actually, you may have stumbled on a genius idea as everyone assumes theres no chance of parking there and in reality the handful of spaces always remain empty  

I don't often get the train there myself as we always drive and slow down nearby and get dropped off by the missus

I have just had a nice takeaway haddock in Whitby (northern seaside town).  Managed to evade the seagulls so I would say Harry Haddock 1, Seagulls 0.

I have been to Brighton twice, but not to see Town play.

  In the mid 1980s went from York by train and back, on the same day, representing the RAF in a 10km race-walk at Peacehaven.

I remember that the road course was hilly.  And that it was a long way to go for such a short (ish) race.

Also went in early 90s for a works conference.  From memory, Brighton had a large pebble beach.  Whereas Bournemouth had kind sandy beaches (and many young ladies from Italy, Spain abs France walking topless along the promenade)  😇

Quoted from Seagulls eat Haddock

ill be honest thats not my specialist subject I'm afraid, and I know that generally you are not allowed to sleep overnight in your vehicle in most places. If it were me I would just park either in Roedean area BN2 5RJ or Hove seafront area BN3 4FA and pay for any daytime parking and then just risk it overnight. Obviously being Brighton we attract a lot of visitors so motorhomes are commonly spotted so you definitelt wont stand out or be alone - as for official options I'm sure youll have apps and websites you can search up on - feel free to ask about any particular places you find and i'll give you the lowdown on the area etc

Thank you

[img]Another option I've found for you campervan/motorhome fans who might be coming for the weekend is Bevendean.

I literally drove past yesterday to visit someone and saw several motorhomes/caravans parked up. It seems perfect as its not residential on either side, so you wont be bothering anyone and there are a few shops and a cafe over the road if you need them. Don't get me wrong, it's not a stunning area or anything,but might do you for free parking for a night or two with no hassle.
Added benefit its a quick taxi or bus into brighton city centre and seafront and also you can see its not too far to the stadium either (top right of pic 2)
