.. not another supporters club, but I was speaking to someone organising coaches today and there is a strong possibilty coaches can run direct from the ground up to Haywards Heath station for a reasonable fee if there is enough demand.

That's easier than queuing for a train at Falmer to either Lewes or Brighton to get a connection isn't it my cockney friends ?

If it happens (which is probable) it's looks like my preferred option.

On your presentation, make sure you you pick up one of his coach travel leaflets.

Sounds interesting...especially given the rail disruption that effects Three Bridges to Brighty so often!

Might chat to you at the next home game about that CG

Doesn't need to be Haywards Heath, depends on demand - but that appeared to be the obvious place.

It's obviously not just for London Based Supporters... although we are special.

Please remember to pick up a leaflet, they are around on the tables in the area you hand over your hard earned cash.

If enough demand is generated - mid week games particularly are looking slightly less painful for London Based Gulls.

I understand the booking will be in advance.

Talking with West Hoathly Seagull at Falmer this afternoon, he was moaning about the fact that parking at Haywards Heath is becoming increasingly problematic - a lot of four hour parking has, apparently, been changed recently to two hour parking.

But I guess if you are travelling by train via HH, this is an idea worth thinking about.

He did however seem particular pleased with the new seats.

So, match finishes, walk to car park, queue up for coach, get on coach, wait on coach for at least 5-10 mins for stragglers, coach eventually moves off, takes apx 30 mins (?) to HH dependent on traffic... get off coach, wait for train. Get on train, arrive in London.

Or. 2 min walk from stadium to Falmer station, train to HH, then on to London. Hmmm.

I guess you mean 2 min walk to Falmer Station, queue for a train to Brighton (say 40 minutes - maybe longer), then change to a train to HH and London.

Alternatively ... maybe a shorter queue for a Lewes train, then change for the half-hourly service to HH and London (on Saturdays) or (on a Tuesday/Wednesday) hope to catch the only available train from Lewes at 2240.

I think this is a great idea, if I had known about it earlier it may have influenced my decision not to renew my season ticket.
