That doesn't make sense, I would have thought on basis of probability you'd see more stickers in the back of cars on a match day.
But you are implying what ?

Disabled passenger.
As I said the stewards are very hot on letting you in, obviously they get to know you after a while.
I'm struggling to think of instance when I've travelled in that way and we've just driven straight in.
.. actually I'd say never.
steward 433
Back and better
We have only been at Withdean 9 1/2 seasons try again!!

That if they have a Albion related sticker in the car there is a high probilibilty they are at the game.
steward 433
Back and better
And that is the way it is every game. The car parks have a good team of stewards in there.

..and so what ?
It's whether they are legitimately in there, which is the question surely ?

Just a question that has been put to me on several occasions by a former City Councillor who played a very active role in getting the arrangements agreed for the Club to use Withdean ...
Where in the planning permission for Withdean or the Travel Plan that has been agreed between the Club and the City Council does it say that employees of the Club will be given parking spaces at Withdean?

but we know that - there are a number of reasons why supporters are in there legitimately.

It dosen't,the agreement for staff and stewards (and programme sellers) is the tennis court at the entrance to top car park has been agreed by the leisure centre.

There is a sectioned off area with a barrier manned by stewards outside of the Sportsman. quite a bit of money was spent with Armco barriers etc, i guess the club would not have gone with the expence, unless there were permitted to .

You might well guess that. I couldn't possibly comment.
And what about the Club staff who park in the main part of the car park?

I just remembered that the first time I watched a home match this season, I booked tickets online and arrived in my car to collect them from the ticket booth. I drove up to the barrier coming downhill at the east side of the stadium and asked a steward if I could just nip down to collect tickets then do the park and ride at Mill Road.
He told me I had to drive all the way around and park in the pub car park temporarily.
I drove round and accidentally drove into the leisure centre car park. I told the steward that I just needed to collect tickets and that I was going to use the park and ride. He said to me "ah dont worry about that...Just park there, that will be ok" So I did !!!
Now if some stewards aren't going to uphold the parking restrictions and actually encourage people to park in the 'wrong' place then aren't they going to send out mixed messages.
It happened that that day I was running a bit late so I thought, well sod it I'll stay there but I would have normally gone to use the park and ride. I did think afterwards though, Hmmm, I got away with it once, shall I try it again.?

But why can't you just park along by Caffyns? Loads of space and the excercise would do you good.
