How are the usal Park & Riders getting to the game? I take it theres no Park & Ride?

Is there any parking near by with a quick getting away? As I have a 7 year old with school the next day (with a moaning mum)

Cheers

Hi all,

Last time I came down to the Amex I parked on Coldean Lane and had about a 25 minute walk to the ground. Does anyone know if it is still possible to park there or is it residents only?

Thanks.

Residents only now.

Options:

One of the three park and ride sites (free)
Bridge Car Park (£15, pay when you get there)
Park in somewhere like Lewes and get the train along (free)

Thanks, I did the train to Lewes the time before and took forever when I guess it'll be even busier tomorrow.....and there's just something about paying £15 to park for a game of football I don't like (us tight northerners....).

It is an obscene amount but the value in getting away quick after the game when you've got a long journey does justify it. Getting in at 1am or 2am on a school night makes the world of difference.

Trust me, it doesn't sit comfortably with us Southern softies either but it's a deliberate ploy to deter drivers (or to encourage car sharing) as per the transport plan.

Mithras House PnR is a 35 minute walk, if the bus queues are too long.

I am sure I remember Mr Barber saying the the Uni set the price of the parking or have a big say in it. I assume they take a nice bit of cream from the top. If the bridge does not belong to the uni then I assume the price can't be cheaper otherwise it would be a nightmare with everyone heading there to save a few quid.

From an email I had from Paul Barber

'Unfortunately, the club is committed to parking costs with the universities whether the spaces are used are not'

Agree, it's an obscene amount to pay to park a car but needs must as the devil drives. Oh and the north starts at junction 29 you're a midlander

You could park at Brighton Station @ £1.15 per hour, and then get the train.
