700 early doors in to town, get a few beers in whatever pub takes your fancy, jump on the 25 down by St Peters.
Post game, same in reverse, except maybe longer in the pubs, which come to think of it might lead to a cab home.
Bloody trains!

West is BEST
For those in the beautiful West, the 700 bus is your friend. Once you try it, you'll never bother with unreliable trains again. With services running every ten minutes for most of the day, and a regular and reliable night service it really is a godsend. Perfect on match days.

There are no trains between Littlehampton and Brighton on Saturday

Thanks for letting me know. I usually check, but it is not published anywhere, it seems. Bloody limit after the farce on Tuesday trains!

Never used it before, I'm in Goring so is that covered or will I have to get to Worthing and catch it from there? Might give it a go

I wasn’t sure so I had a quick look for you and yes, the 700 does seem to go from Goring so you can ride that into Brighton.

The 700 crawls around the houses between Littlehampton and Worthing before it speeds up towards Brighton. Allow plenty of time for the scenic route before Worthing Pier.

It has been well published but you read only what you want to read, use the trains and just slag them off every time

Especially at weekends when the amateurs with no smart cards get on and bumble about with cash as if they’re trying to negotiate passage up the Amazon with a boatfull of Contra’s. Highly frustrating. Especially with the new busses with the engines that cut out if it stops for more than a minute. It makes you feel like you’ve broken down.

Today was to be my first game of the season but I really can't be arsed with buses so I'm staying at home.

My few experiences of rail replacement buses have all been poor and although I'm not sure why, it seems my Albion mojo is at a level that means I'd rather watch a dodgy stream than traipse over from Worthing.

Get the 700, it really is not that bad. Get off at Churchill square and walk up to the station have a few beers somewhere and get the train to falmer. Then do this in reverse a couple of hours later.

I'm not sure what it is as a week or so ago I was looking forward to today.

I'm out in the sticks of Findon so the 700 is a fair distance away. I'll consider it next time this happens.

As the match day travel zone starts at Worthing, you'll need to buy a bus ticket for the first leg into Worthing town centre. Of course you've probably set off by now and discovered for yourself.

Absolute shitfest. On a 700 between Shoreham and Southwick. Quite full now but was half empty at lancing
