We hardly need extra games if we intend to remain in the current league,our players have endured so many games already so let Palace take on the additional cup games

[Albion] What can be done to make midweek games at The Amex less of a pain in the arse?

I would agree and rest the ones most vulnerable like Stephens and Propper for who we have no adequate replacements at the moment. Rosenior could take one of their positions and Kayal the other

I think that the club have done all they can to make it a painless arse situation. It's the outside organisations that don't - mainly transport. I've given up on using the gigantic clusterf*** that is Southern for evening games. I now use the P&R from Mithras House, at least then I know I can rely on getting to the game on time and be safe in the knowledge that I am able to get home. Yes, it's a pain driving to/from Southampton for night games but at least for Saturday matches the train fits the bill - if it's running.

Exactly-I was sitting in a Seagull Travel bus after the B'mouth game and 20 minutes after the final whistle a 25 turned up and picked 3 people up from the bus stop. I might do the same next season
Good on you old boy but what's well toast?

I used to always do that but found that they were either full when they got to the away end stop or the club had stopped them uisng that stop after games for about 2 hours so started using the stop by the station. I have considered using the P & R bus to Mithras House and then changing to a service bus into town there but as yet havent done so. May do that on Monday if the trains are up the creek to Lewes.
Move the Amex to central Hove somewhere?

I read these threads with surprise since I have absolutely no trouble at all getting to and from the ground from South London.
I joined Mid Sussex Seagulls. probably the best decision I made travel wise. Withdean was brilliant for me when it worked but those bus replacements did it for me.
I simply get off at Haywards Heath (from Clapham Junction) and get their coach in and out. On the way back the coach drops me at Haywards Heath station.
Occasionally I go my own way down, my preferred route being change at Lewes.
With 3 o'clock kick offs I'm home at 7 on the dot. Midweek it's midnight.
The Amex (and Mid Sussex Seagulls) have added about 45 mins compared to Withdean, but I'm quite happy to pay the extra few quid year so I don't get soaked and cold.
Their service runs like a dream.

The club to buy the nearby fields and make more car parking available or build a multistory one instead of a hotel.

I see you've become bored with Football Manager and moved onto Sim City, BG

Always walked to the Goldstone and back from Portslade.
As I was pondering whilst waiting for a park 'n' ride bus to squeeze out before the next could be loaded (how inefficient is that?)... a coach/bus park on the other side of Village Way would help.
Roughly what time was this:-
10 minutes after the final whistle?
Pondering time, a further 10 minutes?
On the A27 easily within 30 minutes of the final whistle?
30min (or more) standing in the elements with an 8-year-old is not ideal (before a 80min drive home). Especially so when empty buses are waiting but can't be loaded until the front one has exited. Would be much better if they were lined up side-by-side and loaded instantly.
Seen quite a lot of queue-jumping recently too.
