I doubt it mate....not a regular ground that would have been visited before & it is just down the road & a good night out

[WEWEREINVINCIBLE!]

does anyone know if the free travel to the amex for ticket holders from within the travel zone, if it is available to the away fans aswell???
cant see why it wouldnt be, but on they're website it keeps saying "albion fans"

Looks like the club don't expect it to go below 15 away points.

I got taken as a guest of a work contact to the Brighton V Newcastle game a couple of weeks ago. We used the park & ride....there was definitely Newcastle fans using the park & ride buses .....was a right drag waiting for teh buses back to the car park though

Looks like the trains are going to be a night mare.

Forget Chelsea and the Hammers.....this is the big one

there are trains running but they are both few and far between and on diversion. fast trains normally take 55 mins from east croydon to brighton, fastest one takes 1h45

Yea the ticket does include surrounding travel for away fans, but not sure about all the rail maintenance

The trains look like a right nightmare...2 hours from Victoria.

Anyone driving from Medway with a couple of spaces?

Brighton fan here. Yes, your ticket includes transport to the ground. There's a queueing system at the station for Falmer but it goes down pretty quickly otherwise the park and rides or normal buses all accept the travel voucher.

Leaving the ground is a bit of a ballache on the train but if you hang around the concourses after the game the bars are all open and a swift pint and then the queues will be non-existent. The club have real ale (local brewers Harveys) and guest beers aplenty and our pies have been voted best in the country.

Train-wise, it might be an option to go via Lewes there and back and avoid Brighton. Both Brighton and Lewes have loads of pubs near the town centre. The police may well try to shove you into Trevorspoons but if you can, avoid and try one of the non-home fan boozers. There's dozens to choose from.

And one last thing - just a friendly word of warning that the police and stewards have started clamping down very hard on homophobic chanting this season compared with previous seasons and there's been prosecutions and bannings as a result. The usual low-level 'does your boyfriend know you're here' won't see you get into trouble but there's been some stuff said and gestured that has been deemed beyond the pale by the powers that be.

Enjoy your trip, we're rightly proud of our award-winning stadium having been homeless for 14 years -2 years playing our home games in Gillingham 100 miles away and then the rest in a converted running track. Our new home was built by the same company who built the Emirates, I just wish it was in town.
