New Park and Ride

[Rugrat]

I think Perry mentioned a new P&R that would be used for the Fat Boy concert and if it worked OK would be brought into immediate use next season. He said it wasn't Lewes side but I didn't get if he actually said where it was .... any ideas?

Process of elimination tells me it would/should be up A23 or maybe Shoreham way?

I can't see that working for the FBS gig, for the type of gig it is, drinking alcohol plays a big part, people won't use a P&R if they're gonna be drinking, I would have thought anyway...

TBH I was hugely surprised when he said it, or at least I thought he said it, might have got it completely wrong

I heard a rumour that Falmer Station would be closed for the Fatboy slim gig.

I agree very hard to get parked at Mill road if You leave it to late. Shoreham would be great You could also park and use the train as travel starts from Shoreham.

Perfect for me from North Somerset too as I come through Worthing on the way in.

Blimey ! I have enough trouble from Wothing.

It was actually what he said (or I thought I heard him say) in the planning meeting today ... didn't make that clear. Plenty of others listening in so did he say that?

Hickstead.

Works for me, I could walk to it from my front door.

Well that was the speculation some months ago

When the new academy is built, would this be a good place for a P&R on a match day?

And good for most away fans coming down the A23, who, unless they do their research re Mithras House etc, are otherwise trying to get in at Mill Road or parking in Coldean/Moulescoomb. Yes it may take a little while to get to the Amex, but they're only doing it once a season.

 

[Rugrat]

Surely the obvious problem with Hickstead is that sometimes traffic on the A23 queues for miles leading up to the Mill Road roundabout, so on any busy Saturday a bus might only be able to do one journey to the Amex and back. Totally inefficient.

Y makes perfect sense ... so would need to be nearer ... same as Shoreham I guess

Old Cement works anyone?

A park and ride to the east would be good .

We do that run by coach every game ( North West Sussex Seagulls seat available for next season) and pass Hickstead we have only had problems with a couple of the early evening games Saturday's are fine and looking at an average of 20 minutes from Hickstead by coach. P&R at Hickstead should improve the journey as less cars on the road to the Amex if they all park at Hickstead.

Not once this season have I had any trouble from Hickstead, it would be a great location for many Mid Sussex Albion fans and away fans.

 

[Marshy]

I sit in the queue at Mill Road as long as it takes me to get to Mill Road from Burgess Hill, a Pick up point at Hickstead direct to the Amex would save me loads of time !

 

[Garage_Doors]

A friend of mine who works fro the bus company said that Hickstead has been mentioned.
