[Brighton] Travel to the stadium

[Bridcutt]

Hey everyone.

I usually walk to the stadium as I lived near Falmer however I have now moved & I'll be travelling into Brighton via bus for the game tomorrow . I have heard so many horror stories over the years of the trains, the park and ride being a disaster at Mill Road etc. What is the 'best' way to get to the stadium nowadays? Considering getting the 25 from the Old Steine. Trying the train or is it worth going to Mill Road and getting the park and ride?

Walking isn't an option for me timewise

Thanks in advance!

I find it interesting that the Argus are reporting the trains ran as normal, but everyone who got the train is saying there were no home fans allowed on a service for away supporters an hour before which messed everything up

there was definitely a spell from 545 to just before 630 where from the front of the queue I watched palace fans escorted from one train straight round to the other whilst our queue didn't move

As others have said - before the game was a car crash. They were prioritising getting the Palace fans to the ground. We queued from 6 pm and didnt move for an hour. Managed to get on a 4 coach train at 7.10 with massive queues still behind us. Missed first minute. Mate who was slightly behind us missed first 20 minutes and the goal. Absolutely pathetic levels of organisation from police/southern fail.

To be fair that is the police not Southern. But I’m not sure how you queued from 6 and didn’t move. We got there just before 6 and was on a train about 6.40 I think
