Still no sign of parking availability for October games? I thought it was going to appear at same time as tickets for Arsenal and city. Anyone know any better?

Same here expecting to see Arsenal and Man City at 9am this morning.
Can’t get through to Club on phone.
Live Chat is fing waste of time.
Supporter Services very busy fielding queries from supporters who are confused as Club repeatedly fails to communicate properly with supporters or, doesn’t follow it’s own rules.
Club gets very prickly if you have the temerity to suggest they have made a mistake.
Very frustrating.

Thanks for posting. It really is a shambles. I would have had no idea they were on sale (having tried earlier this morning) if it wasn't for your post. Club need to do better.

For a club with over 31,000 capacity this parking situation is now becoming a joke, not having Bennett's Field owner onside working with us rather than against us is bizarre and totally unacceptable.

For those people that require parking due to disabilities etc I can only imagine the problems this will cause.

Could be wrong but as I understand it the owner of BF has obtained planning permission to commercially develop this piece of land. For him that would make far more financial sense than renting it for car-parking 20-odd times a season. If this is the case, I'm not sure how this is bizarre, unacceptable or frankly the club's fault.

Maybe having a plan B in place that didn’t spell Bennet

I don't understand what's happened with the Sussex Uni car parks? Why are we just given the option of The Bridge (which is a nightmare to get out of, even if you can get a space)?

I completely agree with others - the parking situation IS a shambles, and there seems to be virtually no communication from the club.

I think the question is why all of the Sussex Uni car parks have become unavailable just because a few hundred in BF have been lost.

I’m not sure why people are being so critical of the club over this issue. Using the word ‘shambles’ is OTT. Our stadium was given planning permission on the basis of sustainable travel and ANY parking provided is an exception. Clearly demand for parking has increased due to Covid but the club can’t simply magic capacity that doesn’t exist. If Bennett’s Field is no longer available then it is what it is. I speak as a long distance fan who needs parking but that’s my problem not the club’s.
