It's quite clear from the tweeting that people connected with the Club have been doing that they know that Southern let them down, by providing incorrect information about the service that would be running.

No but it reflects your minority view and no, "we" don't know what gets me going.

Quite obvious really. Plenty of points to be scored by publicly slagging off an already unpopular company with some so-called insider info. No points to be scored by making a useful but anonymous contribution. Tells you all you need to know.
Errrrr ......... Whistleblowing legislation over rules contracts.

Hopefully the club will issue a statement to that effect in due course.

It tells me you're another STUPID idiot
Talking to the press or putting stuff on social media wouldn't be whistleblowing - sure they would have a clearly defined route for that (some kind of confidential 'hotline' usually)

I am still fuming from missing the first 25 mins of football and having to catch a bus connection to Hove on the way back having waited for ages at Falmer. Anyone know if you can claim compensation for all this. I wouldn't normally be bothered but it was truelly beyond acceptable last night.

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
The myth of "sustainable transport exposed again last night.
It's surely obvious by now that Southern are incapable of operating a proper matchday service for evening fixtures. Quite apart from the ridiculous inconvenience, there's surely a safety issue developing here. In just three weeks, we have another home fixture on a Friday night against Leeds. Some of their supporters are, shall we say, not noted for their patience or good humour. The potential for frustrated/angry supporters kicking off has to be considered.
Unless Southern can give the club solid assurances that they will operate a full matchday service then the contingency plans need to be in place.

What I'd like to know is which half wit associated with our club signed a valuable contract with a transport provider with no clause for compensation for failing to provide an agreed service level.

And presumably paid them up front each season

Much as nobody in their right mind would trust Southern to run a bath, let alone a train service, maybe the club should nail them down to just providing a 10 minute 8 carriage Brighton-Falmer-Lewes shuttle service both before and after the game and state that upfront well in advance of the Leeds game. At least then it would allow people to either plan around it, or just not bother going. Else it'll just be a guaranteed repeat of the Villa omnishambles. All parties have three weeks of Lessons Learned, starting from... NOW!
That's a difficult route to go down as Southern's standard response to safety issues is to cancel ALL trains.

Much the same as the DfT do with their franchise then. The message is clear: pay these twunts upfront for services at your peril. The minute they get paid by performance, things would improve out of sight overnight. Either that or they'd go bust earlydoors.

Demanding an explanation. They must be shaking in their boots. They make 100 excuses a day, I'm sure they can think of something.
"We have no idea what we're doing" will not be one of them

East, West or Brighton & Hove we cannot rely on any level of service for night games now, as far as I can see it. You can throw winter weather into the mix now too on top of all the rest of it. I can't see what can be done between now and Leeds to guarantee anything.
Having waited for over an hour last night in the cold, I'm not surprised in the slightest that I'm not feeling too great this morning and I'm sure others are too thanks to Southern.
