I had a season ticket, which I eventually gave up two years ago, as I couldn’t rely on Southen getting me to Portsmouth for the last FastCat. I’ve never had any problem getting a ticket for a Home game as an Albion+ member, the only issues I have now are getting tickets to Away games, as I was...

Sold out….

It’s Avanti West Coast, so based on their current form, it’s likely to be cancelled…..

Err no, they strengthened the later trains, there were 8 cars on the Seaford and Eastbourne after the game. It’s only before the game they cannot do anything. Plenty of stock available later. I did that sort of thing in emergencies for a living before I retired from the railways over 6 years ago.

Left about 5 minutes after the game finished. Eventually ended up on the 22.35 from Falmer to Lewes, because the staff were totally incompetent when it came to loading 8 car trains. The previous Seaford left with two coaches empty and our one, I was in the second coach, was practically empty...

No point in leaving early, I can’t rely on Southern getting me to Portsmouth to get the FastCat, and I’d end up on the ferry and be dumped several miles out in the middle of nowhere. So better to plan in advance for the return journey….

There were a few in East Upper that left on the 81st minute, but then once Pedro scrored, the vast majority stood for the rest of the game!

Yes, buses are running non-stop between Brighton and Shoreham. Last bus shown as 18.05….

Back on the IOW today, no chance getting back the same day, so stopped overnight at a hotel. Watched the fiasco at Victoria with the 21.37 to Bognor. Got let on with 2 minutes to spare. Security guy was ranting that we’d have to get the next one…..an hour later!,

Came on last October and unless it’s warm outside, the heat has been on since then. If it goes above 21C then the thermostat will cut out. But it is a cold house due to construction issues….

Nah, us v Utd….. Sheffield that is!

I don’t have any financial details on Google Pay. Just downloaded the ticket and it’s there ok.

And he comes on, as a Sub, in the 89th minute(!),to score the winning goal......

Definitely, a distant member of my family traced our history back over 400 years..... Thakenham, Henfield, Cowfold, West Grinstead, Bolney!

After last nights game, anything is possible....
