Under the present rules and indeed the present attitude towards planning - no grounds whatsoever. However it is only politicians, rules and regulations we're up against, not Darth Vader and the Galatic Empire, so there is a chance that things might change in the future. I do feel though that...

I appreciate this thread's gone off at several tangents but I think what you've done is confuse my personal circumstances with my overall viewpoint. In post #274 of this thread I accepted the arguements put forward by the likes of Lord B and Alex Dawson ooh ooh with regard as to why there will...

Okay, but how does that weaken my argument?

The answer is in one of those threads that Notters quoted, It's something to do with the length of the platform at Lewes. I must admit the archaic rail arrangements with regard to signalling and train length are things that worry / piss me off far more than pay-at-the-gate. I had planned to go...

Sorry, I'm really not with you, that's the second time you've had a little dig without backing it up. Anyway it isn't about ME, in the broader scheme of things I am just one casual fan out of thousands, my individual opinion is irrelevant. However my point is still valid, if attendances...

Whilst I broadly agree with you I DO see the point of the 'no pay on the gate' lobby. Whatever we might think about the stupidity of modern planning laws and planning philosophies (and when it comes to transport they are very stupid indeed) the club have been forced to accept them* I think as...

Oh Titanic, Titanic, Titanic. What can I say? I've read that several times and there is NO bread pun. Very disappointed in you.

What sort of stuff doesn't happen? (Remember I wasn't going on about cash). And I have a phobia about using the phone. Hovis could still run for a bit longer.

I think there are two related but separate arguments going on at the same time. As you say I don't think ANYBODY from outside the area is going to turn up without having done an element of research. And if you ARE coming from outside the area then almost by definition you will have planned the...

No, I never said that. I said ..... Oh, what's the use. Yes, I won't be going. I'll wait until the Albion get into the Premiership and then I'll simply watch the matches on Sky.

I'm not surprised you can't be arsed to go on arguing because despite what you say you HAVE missed the point. It's not a question of me cutting off my nose to spite my face, it's not like I'll be sitting at home thinking "I really really want to go and see Brighton play but I can't be arsed to...

*Sigh* Another one who's missed the point. Walking to the ground will be my choice as walking is something I enjoy doing. Hanging on a telephone or going out of my way to buy a ticket is NOT something I enjoy doing - especially as I can think of better ways to spend my time (and money) as...

No, I live at Fiveways so I shall either walk down to Sainsburys at the Vogue Gyratory (stopping off for a pint at the Hollingbury on the way) and catch the 25, or I shall walk over Hollingbury golf course and down through Wild Park. Can't imagine there being any ticket machines on either route...

With respect you really don't understand. Read El Pres's post above about how casual fans can be turned off by the slightest obstacle of the sort that you as a dedicated fan wouldn't even consider to BE an obstacle. The remote ticket point (away from the stadium) is a complete turn-off for...

Eh? What point are you trying to make?

A fairweather fan speaks ... I don't go to Withdean that much and one of the reasons I don't go is because it's too much of a kerfuffle to get tickets. This is especially true if I've made a snap decision to attend on a Saturday morning. So we're at Falmer, playing at home against someone...
