Brighton Away (Fa Cup)

[SPARTA]

1700 tickets sold. That was the initial allocation (middle package we opted for).

[Will95]

Was expecting to take 2000-2500, but that's not too bad!

[bobby1413]

Guess the club won't opt for another additional allocation?

[Will95]

'Tickets for this game are on general sale. The Royals have taken an additional allocation, taking the total number of tickets to 2200.

There are around 250 seats remaining, which will go off sale at midday on Friday 3rd January.'

Lovely jubblee. Can't wait - craving beer as I've worked the last 7 days

[Will95]

At least 2000 then, should be a good day out!

[SPARTA]

Sensible. I doubt we'd sell more. We wanted to go but I've cocked up booking a holiday in April and thought I'd have acouple of months to pay it off, but they want it all in a week.. and poor old Alfie thinks he has it hard.

Cheers ... Getting a draw today think will encourage more people to come

[semtex1871]

Was thinking of parking in Lewes early doors
Train to Brighton for a few beers pre-match
Train to Falmer for match
Train from Falmer to Lewes after match.....

Thoughts?

Drinking and driving is naughty.

I'm sharing the driving with one other....I'm driving there

Tempted by this, what is the parking like near the ground?

There's a few park and rides near by.

[PieEater]

There isn't any. Park and ride, the main one being along a closed road. Massive queues for all transport after the game.

Park in Lewes...then get the train, only one stop....

Not true - there are two bookable car parks, one in the University and the other back along the A27 towards the A23, behind the Southern Water buildings. You do, however, have to book in advance (£10 for this game), and they send you a ticket for your dashboard - if you ain't got one yet then I guess you're probably out of luck as there's no pay on the day option...

Wetherspoons have their place, and I'm certainly not in the business of habitually knocking them.

But they're not somewhere I'd make a beeline for when drinking in a different town. You can do better than that can't you guys

The Rouge can suggest some pretty decent Brighton boozers IIRC.

It depends how you are getting to Falmer, but this place is great and near the station for the Ale crew.

But I can get smashed and eat microwaved food at home.

LOL. Ill use that next time Im invited to a Weatherspoons.
There are tons of great boozers in Brighton. Going myself on Saturday but not to the football - don't need that getting in the way.

Apparently there is pay-on-the-day for this one, but for the pricely sum of £15.

Got tickets a couple of weeks ago, but given the forecasted weather, pain-in-the-arse-to-get-to nature of the Amex, and imminent finals, I'm split as to whether it's worth the bother.

[Brum Royal]

Got my tickets for this yesterday. Going down for the weekend so the gf can meet up with some old friends and colleagues and I can have a few ales

Just hope it's a bit less painful on the eyes than the last couple of games...
