Sorry, did I just imagine YB playing at Leicester last night?
No, and the 20,000 away Brighton fans certainly saw him on the pitch. ShhooooooooT!

Fair enough if happy to get to Mill Road 2 hrs before K.O.
Did not realise is so expensive outside of Brighton. From Hangleton is £100 for season which is good value

As matchday parking for the Norwich game is sold out I may need to use Mill Road. What time does it generally fill up these days?

Early. Usually full by about 1 hr 45 before kick off

Unbelievably, there was space 45min before the last match.
The bus took 45min+ to get to the Amex, mind...

Blimey. Indicative of how empty the ground was I guess. Annoying you missed kick off mind...or was it!!
If the OP does a twitter search for "mill road park & ride" you can see what time the club have been announcing it as full to give a rough idea.

I might even have got there later than that, still parking at the top.
Plus our bus didn't even take noticeably longer.
I must admit shaving an hour and a half off the 'match day experience' was the highlight of the game.
Arrive.
Buy coffee and flapjack.
Through turnstiles.
Just enough time to drink coffee.
Straight into cheering on the Premier League advert - perfect.

Flapjacks? I often wonder if anyone ever buys those. Well obviously they do . . . one person at least.

Not too bad maybe because there were still some bendy buses in action . Along with a bus that looked like about 20 would fill it and also a Crawley town fc bus heavily painted with red devils and " don't follow me follow Crawley FC " on the back ! Thank goodness i did not have to get on that .
One thing i did notice on arriving at Mill road at the normal time ( parking between zone B and C ) was the lack of buses waiting at the bottom of the hill , only one when normally three or four so not sure if later arrivals had any problems getting to the ground .

Are the bendy buses not being used any more? Or not as many? Any reason why?

The race course is a far better experience with lovely views of the sea and the downs I wish I’d discovered it years ago. Mill road is a pain getting back.

Is it just me or when you hear the words 'bendy buses'.....
......just me then.

One of ours was the bendy bus on Saturday.
Was there any rail disruption in the county on Saturday? I wondered if some had been pulled away for train replacement purposes?
I have noticed that Mill Road fills up far more quickly (earlier) than it used to. And if you miss the first tranche of buses going back (as I did), it's a long wait. I got to my car one hour after the final whistle - I did stay to clap the team off. And enjoying that they all go off together this season.

Still being used until the end of the year as l understand it. Brighton & Hove buses have to stop using them due to their chronically high emission levels. They are already banned from the centre of Brighton.
