I doubt it’s a rule. More like gives the players an option if they don’t feel up to it, need to get away, etc, etcAfter the Newcastle match I took my 8 year old nephew to the bit where the players car park is, to the right of the Terrace, and was pleasantly surprised to see a few players breaking the non-signing and non-selfie ruling – JPVH and Jason Steele to name a few – all signing away and selfies galore.
But the biggest rule breaker of all... was our Fab! Who spent a good 15 minutes walking the temporary barriers, signing autos and posing for every selfie he was asked of (including my nephew – who was esctastic). Barbs won't like it, but I had a new level of respect for these three in particular after this. Made a lot of kids (and adults) very happy.

Maybe. I thought there was a club comms piece basically stating no selfies/signing stuff at all now as a result of a few aggressive idiots at Lancing and a few professional Ebay muppets?
Yes, but if a player wants to do it it’s probably up to them. It is a shame that it’s been ruined by the greedy and selfish. I remember how good it felt to get a “prize” autograph when I was a youngster, even if it was a Div 4 player!

Looks abit ugly to me. I'd rather a CB.
Fair enough. I suppose Fab is excused being a non player.Brighton and Hove Albion ban player selfies after overcrowding and abuse

Getting slagged off on FB mainly due to keeping the toffs away from the peasants but also mention of the kids not getting autographs from the players. I get the kids love this and nobody has ever been hurt or worse but unfortunately that is the way of live now. Anyway, unless the have a private road as well, they won't get out any quicker than anyone else, surely?
The last few pages on the Terrace thread are about this car park.

Does the club own the bridge car park land or do they just lease the car park on match days?
Pretty sure that's owned by BACA

Could the extra spaces for players Cars etc free up more room for the P&R coaches to turn around & leave the car park more quickly ?
The players cars park the other side of the railway line behind the Terrace (where the lefthand P is on this screenshot). You're not getting any P&R coaches down there as it currently is. However if they could get an entrance/exit to that site from the A27 it would be a great location for a coach park.

Some of the plans/drawings mention it includes space for 2 coaches and a couple actually show a coach. The visiting team coach(es)?
I'm just relieved that Glenn Murray Mound survives.
