Level of support in outlying areas of Sussex in terms of travelling to the Amex
- Thread starter Hastings gull
- Start date
Quite a few up this way. A dozen or so on the bus each week. Plus plenty driving. We're on the borders of the core catchment but plenty out this way.

Quite a few of us in Devon as well you know
Bognor is more fickle these days.
I'd imagine a fair few of those were trotting off to Fratton in 'the good old days'.
Its easy to get the train from Seaford and Newhaven, I never got the train to Withdean, I got a lift or P & R.

I put this together from some season ticket holder info which I found lying around on the board: http://www.mcdee.net/tmp/bhafc.html. Not up-to-date (think it was 2011/12 season) and was put together for the travel coverage so doesn't cover the far-flung areas, but gives you a bit of an idea.

I'm also a map geek and I'd love to see this. The club could do it for Sths. I haven't seen anyone else on the easyjet flight from basel (only once a month I'm afraid) but if you are reading this and doing are doing it too, let me know.

On our travels from Somerset both home and away we are always cheered by the sight of an Albion car ( number plate, shirt, car sticker) from far and wide. We are often accosted by fans of other clubs at service stations on our route up north. What are you doing here? etc... Also loved it at Yeovil - 'Did you have a good journey? How long did it take you? .....ten minutes!

I like the map can you add the ones who travel from around the country or can they add themselves .
Cowfold Seagull
Fan of the 17 bus
Have lived in little old Cowfold for nearly 25 years, and until the Amex opened in 2011 l thought l was just about the only real fan here. Particularly during the Withdean years l was the only fan on the 17 bus.
But my God now the Amex has opened every Tom, Dick, and Harriet has come out of the woodwork. I know of at least thirty others. Where were they during the Withdean years one wonders? ... hmmmmmm

Am I the only one who always feels much more generous towards other motorists if there's an Albion sticker in their car? Far more likely to let them pull out in front of me in traffic with a cheery wave if they have some sort of Albion insignia.
Palace stickers, on the other hand....

You arent the only one, was about to let someone out earlier today until i saw a Palace logo hanging from their rear-view mirror, so i didnt bother.
Brighton on the other hand - ill always let them go.

Often see other cars on a match day on M4 and M25.
I think there are 6-8 season ticket holders in Swindon...But ASAIK none of us know each other..

STH from north-west Oxfordshire. A long way home after a defeat, but a happy journey home after victory! First Albion game was against Chesterfield in 1963 (1-1, with a goal from Roy Jennings, in case you were wondering).
