The kick-off time for tomorrow night's friendly with Sporting Gijon in Segovia has been brought forward by one hour to ensure Albion supporters based in Madrid can catch the last train back to the Spanish capital.
The later, original kick-off time of 8pm would have meant Seagulls fans reliant on public transport would have been stranded in Segovia on Saturday night.
Therefore, with the agreement of Sporting Gijon, both clubs have agreed to change the kick-off time to 7pm Spanish time (6pm UK time).
The match will be played at the Estadio Municipal la Albuerar, home of Gymnastica Segovia. Supporters using public transport are advised to take the high-speed train to Segovia, at a cost of €12.50.
The stadium is a short walk or cab ride from the station, but fans are strongly advised to take the opportunity to visit the historic city and take in the sights of the royal palace, aquaduct and the cathedral. There are also a host of fine restaurants in the old town area.
Fans are also advised to bring refreshments with them, as under Spanish law alcohol will not be permitted within the stadium.
