Train services between Brighton and Falmer, and from Lewes/Eastbourne to Falmer, are expected to run as usual.
Supporters who use the Lewes Road Park & Ride site are advised that from this Saturday, the car park for the Watts Building will be accessed via a temporary entrance until further notice, due to building works.

Drivers parking at the Watts Building should use the new temporary entrance on Saunders Park View (this is the turning on the left, before the car park, as you head north up Lewes Road).
*
Supporters are advised that this could result in slight delays ahead of this Saturday's game against Bolton Wanderers, so may wish to allow extra time or use alternative Park & Ride options at Brighton Racecourse, which always has available capacity, or Mill Road if parking before 2pm.

Please note the entrance for Mithras House on the southbound side of Lewes Road remains unchanged.

In light of a recent security review, we will continue our proactive approach to supporter safety and we ask that all fans are patient and comply with stewards' requests when entering, once inside and on leaving the stadium.
Please ensure all coats and jackets are open and ready to be searched, and we would advise avoiding bringing any bags with you to the stadium unless it is absolutely necessary, as this may slow your entry, and that of other supporters, to the stadium.
