Who's trying to get out of Brighton Uni lower?

Not moved in an hour, doesn't look like anything is going to happen soon. Should've got the park and ride

I assume the car parks were packed solid, with the useless trains/B&Hbuses situation?

They are always full so shouldn't be any different to any other game

You want to try leaving the car park at the British Grand Prix or the Open Golf championship. They'll marshal you in but you're on your own getting out.

Still haven't moved.

Surely people don't actually do this every game?

About the same as usual leaving Sussex Uni campus but it was carnage at the Falmer junction of A27 with people all over the place waiting for their lifts home.

I'd pay genuine money to use the Saino's park & ride, every game.

We were home exactly 1 hour after the final whistle.
Home being nearer Hampshire than the AMEX.

Bennett Field was 10 mins longer leaving than usual - not too much of an issue and back home in Newhaven by 8.15

Coach park was slightly delayed, no issue - was to be expected...for the transport drama's today, thought all handled it pretty well...

I don't think the multi storey car park on the Sussex campus is usually open, so quite a few hundred extra people using that (and probably wishing they hadn't)

Wow that's not too bad, even for you.
Took me half hour getting out after the Chelsea game, that's including those useless stewards, who just stand about looking gormless!!

My genius wife decided to leave my 10 year old son with my mate who parked in Brighton Uni Lower. They started moving out of their space 2 minutes ago at 2105. My wife has been home for 90 minutes after grabbing the last seat in her brother's car! I'm questioning her parenting right now....

Apparently the hold up was caused by the massive number of rail replacement buses using the Brighton Uni Terminus. I'd bet good money the amex stewards did their usual job of screwing up the whole system by shouting and waving at each other and passing buses....

I watched it from the comfort of my sofa. One nil to me today.

Normally takes me an hour but it was deep joy today because I was in the overflow bit

Inept stewarding and, from the clubs point of view, preparation.

We were in Brighton Uni Lower and didn't leave for about 1:45 after kick off!
