The Swan

Two of us walked through the village last week, one of me in colours. One of the villagers was painting her hut and when asked she politely and courteously directed us to the footbridge. So no problem walking through the village here.
I don’t think you can legally stop someone walking the public highway.

I don’t think you can legally stop someone walking the public highway.

You can't, unless it's a cordoned off crime scene! Some of these stewards like to think they have 'power' when in fact they don't! Feel free to walk the footbridge and around the pond.

Went there for one game. More stewards and police in the pub than supporters. Was raining though!

if you are wearing colors they wont let you through the village

They presumably can't (legally) stop you driving into the village to park either, but presumably the club have agreed to these 'rules' and we should follow them (particularly if we want to be given planning permission for extra seats).

Yes,I can confrim last week as I left the Swan pub that there were stewards stopping you going over the footbridge towards the village and pond and they were directing us to walk back past the pub towards Sussex Uni and over the busy road bridge over the A27!

Indeed, we shall be walking this way, nothing the stewards can do about it

Confirmation received re. footbridge :-

" Nick,

You are absolutely right. There is a traffic order stopping vehicles going into Falmer village, but no order stopping fans walking through the village. BHAFC have agreed with Falmer Parish council to discourage Brighton fans walking through the village. Stewards will ask you to go the other route but have no legal power to physically stop pedestrians from using that route.

I hope this assists

Kind regards

Definately sounds like another Snakey Lane situation.
