    Brighton Away Fri 30th Dec

    What's everyone's opinion on travel to this game;

    I didn't do last season when some went to Lewes, is this a better option than Brighton?

    We may also have to look out for strike action by Southern rail ( they seem to like a strike )

    When booking rail tickets it's free travel south of Haywards Heath from 1615 - 0000.

    I'm thinking of getting to HH 1530 - 1600 taking in some refreshment then heading to Brighton or Lewes.

    Thoughts please.

    I am in London for the Xmas New year break and would like to tag along BB.
    Happy to meet anyway to start the trip. Plan sounds good.

    I'll be there (but probably not with my pick & shovel).
    Getting into Brighton at 16.20.
    (Lewes not really an option from Folkestone).

    Went to "The Battle Of Trafalgar" last time, so probably will head there again

    I can't attend this year, but last year a number of us did a small crawl of the Pubs in the Lanes not far from the station. It was good fun and an excellent atmosphere, and we bumped into a few ex-1927 Club too. Would highly recommend that rather than staying in one Pub. There are loads of Pubs all close together and never more than 15-20 minute walk from the Station.

    We should be ok with the planned strike action. It's a good job the game was moved from the 31st.

    The latest planned strikes are listed below;

    Tuesday 6 to Thursday 8 December (RMT conductors’ strike)
    Tuesday 13 and Wednesday 14 December (ASLEF & RMT drivers’ strike)
    Friday 16 December (ASLEF & RMT drivers’ strike)
    Monday 19 to Tuesday 20 December (RMT conductors’ strike) – changed date

    SATURDAY 31 DECEMBER TO MONDAY 2 JANUARY (RMT CONDUCTORS STRIKE)

    Monday 9 to Saturday 14 January (ASLEF & RMT drivers’ strike)

    After the excitement of the home game, I have decided that the return match is a must see so will be going. The General is coming with me and we intend to head to the Lanes near the station for a few pre match drinks at about 5. If people feel like joining us then please call/text me on 07722 476130 and we can tell you what pub we are in!!!

    I've just ordered my ticket. The prospect of being caught up in the Industrial Action by Sothern Trains and stranded on a freezing cold train all night somewhere on the South Coast was just too good to miss.
