Looks like my usual drive to Shoreham-by-Sea, then free rail, is off the cards, so I may drive to Lewes... a further drive but has the advantage of being in the 'right' direction to/from Falmer and avoiding the change at Brighton.Both Littlehampton–Brighton and Worthing–Brighton.

Handy to know. Perhaps Fulmer might come up on Map Tap soon .....

Except London Bridge to South Bermondsey is full of breweries and you can walk it.... funny thing about Brighton to Falmer... always reminds me of London Bridge to South Bermondsey...there and back... actually think the former edges it for being worse... can't think of many worst grounds for access tbf...hey ho and just get on with it I suppose

My first trip to the Amex: planning to park in Lewes and hop on the train. Is this a reasonable option? Any advice from those who've done this before?
Brighton (A) Sunday 8th Nov, 2pm ko
It is the best option IMO. Wouldn't leave it too late parking, pubs are good too, but as you are driving, maybe not!

I'm not 100% sure but I've a feeling I used the digital ticket to open a gate automatically at Shoreham-by-Sea.

I've only used the bus from outside my brother's house in Brighton since we've had digital tickets so can't confirm that,but I'd be surprised.

Brighton's Remembrance Sunday parade and service on Sunday:
Brighton War Memorial, Old Steine, Brighton, BN1 1EN
The parade and service begin at 10.50am, followed by a wreath laying ceremony and the March Past and Salute. They request that people arrive by 10.30am.
If you are coming from London it means that you will need to be on the 09:16 from Victoria, 09:30 latest to get there on time. The War Memorial is roughly a 15-minute walk from the station.

Thanks for the info.
Presumably, those trains are too early to be covered by the free travel window.

Anyone know if fog is ever a problem at the Amex? Does Bloom get his fleet of helicopters 
out to disperse it?

Fog is very rarely a problem in Brighton at 2pm...it disperses by that time... London however currently has a blanket and will do tomorrow morning....and besides it's mist and not fog.... apparently there is a difference.... Michael Fish told me this... don't believe a word mind.Anyone know if fog is ever a problem at the Amex? Does Bloom get his fleet of helicopters

I'm not one to get all righteous about people leaving a game when they choose to but the extent of the exodus of Brighton fans from the ground from 75/80mins onwards, regardless of the score, never ceases to amaze. We called it a day at 80mins today and it was already heaving outside the ground with home fans leaving.

Stayed after the final whistle had a pint of Cask Harveys. Strolled onto a train at 16.54, on the London train from Brighton at 17.10, easy.

The overall travel experience too/from the Amex (especially on a Sunday) is absolutely pants. In via Brighton and packed train to Falmer from Brighton, out via Lewes after long cold, boring queue post match. It took 3 hours from final whistle to get home just south of Guildford!!
So glad we don't have endure the same for our home games, I honestly don't know how they put up with it..

Was quite an easy travelling experience to be fair…train into Brighton…few pints in the lanes….free bus from pavilion and then the 90mins in between to spoil it 
….after, a pint in the concourse and only 10mins wait for train back to Brighton…a pint in the evening star near station, kebab/offie takeaway and straight on train back to clap jnc….a decent day out ruined by the football as usual

The train journeys are appalling, even from Eastbourne.
If, like me, you're a member of the COPD / arthritic knees club, the climb from the station to the away entrance is fu*kin' hard work.
I'll have to think very hard about attempting it again
