I cannot understand Southern running trains, even a reduced service, from London to Brighton prior to the game but not even just one non stop perhaps Brighton to Victoria or even Clapham Jkt an hour after the game, If they ran one train that stopped at Haywards Heath and Gatwick it would...
I know of a few who are not going but want to leave their seats empty to show the club their failing and disregard of the supporters. I wonder how many will think like this.
No doubt when the club realise they could have a 15k attendance they will give transport advice although if the attendance was only 10k it wouldnt hit them as most non attenders will have paid in their ST payment.
Just looked at the bus timetables and it appears that the 25 is only going to Falmer Station not The Amex and the last one back into Brighton is 6.32pm . The match finishes approx 7.20. Could well miss this and watch it on sky as wife has the grandchildren so too many to get in a car to...

I dont think that anybody is criticising the railways for not running perhaps if they are running some services they should run them to suit travellers. I think the main criticism is on Sky and the club for changing the fixture and the authorities for allowing Sky to dictate and change kick...

I may be wrong but I do not think that many supporters would have objected.to them doing that.
That is rather an 'after the Lord Mayors Show' reaction I would think. Perhaps it is wrong to say no consideration and I should have said not sufficient considerations was given to the supporters needs.
No doubt with the clubs financial slant on it and no consideration given to the supporters wishes or needs. It will not affect you as you live local and can walk as it wont affect me either as my wife will drive me to and from The Amex but there are many other supporters who are reliant on...
