Does the car park at the station get full for a Saturday game? Normally I would plan to get there at least an hour before kick off.

Is there any free parking nearby or is the car park the best bet?

I normally park a couple of roads up from the station no problem with a 5 minute walk.

Thanks for this. Presumably you mean Victoria Road/Brook street area rather than south of the station?

No, normally south on St Johns Road which is the next road down after Black Path.

I park in the estate the other side of the main road north of the station. Station car park will always have plenty of space but obviously costs money and (unless its changed) you have to purchase a whole day even if you arrive in the afternoon.

When I say North, it probably isn't north at all, I mean the opposite end of the high street to the A22 and on the way if you are driving from Bexhill

If you park at Polgate station, be sure to be in the station car park and not the shop one which is next to it and can be mistaken for the station one. I have always found plenty of room, but just carefull as it is possible to buy a ticket and still get a ticket.

I've always parked along Black Path, although the sign says it's limited to 2 hours parking it never seems to be enforced, and the signs stop half way down the road anyway. If that's full the anywhere around there Burnside, Chesnut Drive etc you can normally find a space.

Used to use Polegate station, but stopped after the Chelsea game as Southern kept running only 4 coach trains that were always too full to get on. Just go to Bexhill now instead.

The last direct train before yesterdays match was rammed at Polegate.Standing room only. I put that down to the extra seaford/newhaven train traffic as its not normally that busy. It was fun at Lewes for those trying to get on .....

Also because everyone was leaving airborne early which made it extra busy
