[Football] Mill Road P&R

harriri2000 · Oct 28, 2021

Hi Guys,

Me and my Dad are going to the Newcastle game, we use to pay for parking but they have all sold out. Is Mill Road still a park N ride station? And is it still free with a match ticket?

Thanks in advance [emoji106]

Yes it is.
You need to get there between 2.30pm and 3.30pm for a 5.30pm kick off to be sure of there being room for you.

As I say to many who use P%R Why not try Seagull Travel. I know it cost but so much less hassle. Many pick up points throughout Sussex but for eg Picks up in Carden Avenue where it is easy to park about 50 mins before game. Return leaves half hour after game

If you are parking on Carden Ave why pay the extra. Jump on the 5b to Asda and then the 24 down to the Hikers Rest. All covered with the match day ticket.

I've been getting it for the 5:30 kick offs but £19.50 for a 40 mile round trip?

Let the weather influence you.
P&R The post match queue is long and can take a while waiting in the open post match. Free
Local Bus. Again that queue in the open. Free
Train. Park in Lewes get train. Free
Seagull Travel. Coach in park. 5 minute dash. Costs

I would like that, to lose the element of hassle which is to me the biggest turn-off from going to watch the Albion. But if I can get a ticket for the parking, then it's £15 and about maybe a fiver in petrol. Seagulls Travel would be great if it was only me in the car. If there are 3 or 4 of us in the car the difference for the Seagulls Travel tickets is enormous.

Sounds like a nice day out

And when there are 4 of you it's not a justifiable cost for a home match, it's £17.35 just from Polegate

If it’s full, go to the Race course. I have never seen it full.

Because Seagulls travel do not pick up in Swindon!

Hmmm a good point. The cost to travel on Seagulls Travel, (or for that matter Northwest Sussex Seagulls, which is my preferred method of travel to & from the Amex) has risen considerably since the return to football post Pandemic.

For a number of people travelling together, the P & R is fast becoming a much more popular option.

As an aside, with no public transport on Boxing Day, I wonder if the Pyecombe P & R will operate?

So drive 120 miles.......abandon my car somewhere in Sussex.....Pay to get on a bus.......

OR

Drive to Mill Road and get on a bus for free?

Hard choice....

Depending where are in the stadium and your speed of foot, leaving your seat a bit before 90 minutes, will see on one of the first buses away and at Mill Road whilst Bissouma is still dancing on the pitch.

Can’t believe they would play him again until all this is sorted either way!

I thought this particular club definitely wouldn't (the polar opposite of awful Sunderland & Adam Johnson, right to the bitter end. That's not a judgement by me on Biss, but to reference to a club who did everything wrong), but has Biss been on the bench in the last week?

I genuinely haven't checked.

Sorry, did I just imagine YB playing at Leicester last night? :shrug:
