I saw the link to the Travel Survey and got quite excited that there might be a way of contributing to the debate - wrong!

Manyof us only travel past three stations from Polegate but still have to pay £6.50 a game to get into the travel zone at Lewes.

I wondered whether the club could negotiate with Southern for us to either have a Southern Matchday pass to be purchased from them for the season or a voucher from our station to Lewes?

My contribution to the travel plan is the same as everyone else's but only worth 90p a game.

I wrote to the club about this last season and was told they are looking into it but heard nothing else.
It is frustrating, they should either cancel it all together so everyone pays to falmer, or make it fairer.

I expect the reply will be something like "irrespective of the number of stations, it's 9 miles from falmer to shoreham or haywards heath, but 15 miles to polegate"

It seems very unfair when those from HH get free travel worth £6.50.

But Glynde is only 7 miles and just 2 stops away and still outside the zone.

Even unfairer for the people that live close enough to the ground and walk. Not that I do.

Didn't let me choose St. Leonard's as a train station.

I tried to get on the train from Southend and was disgusted to learn I am outside the zone.

By not including anywhere further on the east coastline than Eastbourne on the survey I think we can take it they are not really interested in our viewpoint, survey wouldn't let me input in the "other" section, perhaps why the service is so poor particularly on a night game returning further than Eastbourne
(I would rather there was a reasonable service than a subsidy)

One defect in the Travel Survey (among many, it has to be said) is that it doesn't capture the informal "park and ride" arrangements that lots of fans make.

Stuff like ... drive to Lewes and catch the train; park up in Hove/Rottingdean and catch a Special Bus, etc.
