Anyone know if the season ticket will permit travel after the game tomorrow as far as Gatwick Airport?

That's frustrating - its only 11 mins further on the same line. £3.30 with rail card so not much expense - but only an extra 80p for the whole journey from Brighton. Good old national rail.

Frustrating
It goes as far as Lewes eastbound (or Seaford), favours massively those coming from the west or north

Frustrating in the sense that the cut off is fairly close to my desired stop........ Its just one of those things.
Anyone know if Gatwick has ticket barriers - could be worth chancing it if not!

You will be fine at Gatwick.

There are ticket barriers which are normally staffed
that will be music to the ticket collector's arse
This - Gatwick probably about the most difficult station to wing it from, as they always have more staff there dealing with confused tourists

So a different question - has anyone successfully 'winged' it past barriers at Gatwick using a season ticket?! Haha..
They tend to be the least sympathetic people on the planet - so I dont rate my chances on this one.

Oh well
BHAFC already subsidise a shitload of train journeys that don't really need subsidising as they're only doubling up on huge numbers of journeys already covered by commuters railway STs. Sooner they scrap or seriously fine-tune the travel subsidy the better. IMHO, like. What other leisure activity on the planet is daft enough to subsidise your travel costs?

Little bit controversial since you travel from Preston Park (assumption)... I've got friends who travel to the Amex via the subsidised travel that simply couldn't afford the travel on top. I think its good to see a leisurely activity compensate for fans in such a way.

Just a little bit. I spent ten years at Withdean paying for a totally needless travel subsidy surcharge on my ticket that I rarely used on account of living 15 minutes walk from the ground.

Stupid IDIOT
Especially as there are plenty of railway employees on here now , who will now be looking for such tickets tomorrow and licking their lips at issuing penalty fares

Just give me the nod and I will set up a Just Giving web page for you and anything raised over the £3.30 you need can go to others in a similar situation.

Greatly appreciated
What are the details of the deal between the club and the railway then ? I bet they are paying nothing like full fares, recognising that not all use it anyway, some already have a rail ST etc
