There may be another park & ride in place by next season. Hopefully on the A23.

Martin Perry spoke about this too

A scheme introducing residents parking in the roads in Coldean and Moulsecoomb during football match days at the American Express Community Stadium will be discussed at Transport Committee on 30 April 2013.

If this scheme is approved, resident permits and one transferable visitor permit will be available at no charge to residents upon application. Additionally, residents can buy up to 25 one day visitor permits each year at a cost of £2.60 each. In the areas, business, school and carer permits will also be introduced without charge, and disabled residents with Blue Badges are able to park without a permit.

Consultation carried out in the autumn revealed that, in Coldean, over 78% of those who responded were in favour of a match-day parking scheme, and 68% supported the proposals in Moulsecoomb.

Councillor Ian Davey, Chair of the city’s Transport Committee, said:

“Local residents have been concerned about the negative impact of match day parking on their streets, and that is why we have proposed an event day only controlled parking scheme at no cost to residents.

“In the recent consultation they were overwhelmingly in favour of implementing the plan. Should it be given the go ahead, it will operate all day when there are matches or events at the stadium. This will make life easier for those who live nearby and compliment the excellent work that the club are already doing to encourage fans to travel to the ground by sustainable means.”

So local residents receive a parking permit, plus 1 transferable permit. Plus, they can buy 25 one-day permits for £2.60. And the scheme is only operational on match days.

WTF? No wonder the residents voted for this... it's basically a money making scheme for them at the club's and taxpayers expense. Sell the transferable permit to somebody for the full season for a nice little fee... and then stand around selling the one-day permits for £8/£9 each. Job done.

What are the odds on this site being swamped with people offering 'match day parking permits' next season!
