    No. It's absolutely 100% definitely impossible to hire a bus on Boxing Day. Haven't you been following this thread?

    I think this means at least 9 games will be in the evening now. If a few more are televised we could end up with half our home games at 7:45. Now that's crap. I feel let down over this.

    How do others get into work on Boxing Day?

    But this is part of my question. If this is the case why do they get a fine for say not running the Brighton-London route? Why is this route special so that the TOC has to run it? I guess it is designated a key route or something. If so what can be done to make the Brighton-Falmer route have the...

    Out of interest what is the reason for this hourly Boxing Day service? Why do Southern provide this? It cannot be profitable surely. Why dont they just not bother like other parts of their servivice?

    And do not forget Herr Tubthumper's Human Train departing from Osborne Villas, Hove and picking up at all stops enroute to the AMEX.

    Next they'll be telling you they run a decent and reasonably priced commuter service to London :lol:

    And most people also take any information a rail company gives them with a huge pinch of salt.

    Agenda? As I said, it will be easier and cheaper to stage it on another day. Like most people in life I'm sure the club will be looking to take the cheaper and easier option. Did the police unilaterally state this? Surely they would have discussed this matter with the board/people which decide...

    No buses? But in all fairness the Americans have crap public transport so every day is like Boxing Day in the US.

    Looking at it another way. The club are actively looking to use the venue for concerts. Given Southern's stock response to concerts in the Falmer area is to close Falmer station how do they anticipate sell-out crowds leaving the stadium with no trains after a gig? What transport strategy will...

    I woold like to take this moment to offer a motivational message to all those involved putting on the Boxing Day game: "Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'" - Peter Maher, Irish-Canadian...

    Maybe Boxing Day is the day Brighton and Hove Buses count up their takings for the year? Given the cost of traveling by bus I presume this will occupy ALL their staff for most of the Xmas holiday?

    If this is case (which I dispute) Boxing Day will be a great day to prove we can do it though, do you agree?

    I understand there was 24k on the Saturday...a comparable figure to the expected Boxing Day match. Neither the Sussex Uni or Falmer School parking were available. I got a taxi home.

    There will be a safety issue if it's moved to the date and time Bushy mentions. South London's finest with 7 hours of boozing inside them will not lend to a peaceful match.
