I presume next week will be segregated, as we are expected to bring 400+ supporters to the game?
Will there be a supporters club at the ground which welcomes away supporters for a drink? (We're coming down from Leeds so will be sufficently thirsty by the time we arrive!)
If not, where would be the best place to have a drink/eat close to the ground?
What is the parking and such like at the ground/near the ground?
All the best,
Vess

www.conferencegrounds.co.ukthis is a useful link - detailing places to get drinks / food close to the Ground. The Heron in Westham High Street is my tip for a tipple and something to eat!

Will there be a supporters club at the ground which welcomes away supporters for a drink? (We're coming down from Leeds so will be sufficently thirsty by the time we arrive!) - yep, 2, and food is available in the club house and ground.
If not, where would be the best place to have a drink/eat close to the ground? - Martello pub or Westham High Street I reckon.
What is the parking and such like at the ground/near the ground? - parking for 400 odd at ground.
All the best, - thanks. Really looking forward to this game at home- one of the biggest of the season. Safe journey to all coming.

Another couple of questions from me about travelling by train, I've checked out the ground guide but I'm unsure which station is best to get off at. Ideally, I'd rather get off at Pevensey & Westham and walk (as a student, it's the cheaper option), but if it is country roads (not paved I assume) I might want to get off at Eastbourne instead.
Which would you recommend? What's the walk like from P&W? And if Eastbourne is better, where can I find the bus times?
Whilst I'm here, is the Speedway track anywhere near the ground/either station?
Thanks.

i recommend pevensy
there is a path from pevensy to the ground its like walking down a main road no chance of been hit by an on coming car
the speedway track is out of town near halisham and can only be accessed by car or if you get on the specail bus service which occurs only on race days

Im well aware of where the parking facilities are tyvm mr eagle  but i still dont believe you can get anywhere near that number of cars.. Last year with crowds of 6-700 it was full by 2 30 so does everyone drive on their own?? Half time on sat i will go out there and count them all and will let you know the outcome.. |

well i wont miss the beginning because i will only be counting upto 250, should manage that in 15 mins if i take my calculator... Also it doesnt help when the inconsiderate coach drivers take up half the space |

Just stick it on the grass outside the ground, as long as its out of the way nobody seems to mind..

Also it doesnt help when the inconsiderate coach drivers take up half the space sorry to interrupt guys but artie by you own addmission there must be parking for up to 500 cars ;D if the coaches take up half the space and you reckon your be counting to 250 that makes 500 ,then again if the coaches are parked there, are they still spaces? i think i'll let you guys sort this out  |
