Take a look at this document produced by Brighton & Hove Albion which gives details/post codes of the various car parks near the stadium.

Been a couple of times to the new ground and it is impressive.  Its surreal that this fixture is taking place. But I have big love for Brighton as a city and for the club.  Am hopeing to go to this one.  Should be a cracking atmosphere.

Bet Frank is looking forward to it as well, pretty much a home game for him.

The problem, and it's a big one, is getting away from the ground. The away end is at the far end of the stadium from the station and if you stay till the final whistle the queues for the trains are enormous. The last game I went to there was against Ipswich, who took far fewer than our 3,200, but it was still the best part of an hour before we got onto a train. The answer may be to stay inside the ground for 45 minutes or so, which I think we'll try this time. The bars remain open, I believe.

This is basically my plan. Unless there's some better pubs nearby you can walk to and kill a bit of time?

Are you talking about Brighton station or Falmer?

It appears to only be a 15min walk from the ground back to Brighton, is that accurate?

15 minute walk if you run like fuck!
It's about 4 miles to the station.

Oh yes, I didn't hit the 'Walk' icon on the map, its a 15 min drive or an hour and a bit walk which changes things a bit.

Cheers.

For those who stay over in Brighton, there’s a small cafe that does really nice all day breakfasts and a selection of hash brown dishes.

http://www.billiescafe.co.uk/

Will be going there again.

Best pub in Brighton by far is next to the Train Station under the bridge.

The Prince Albert. https://princealbertbrighton.co.uk/

Great mural on the wall of dead rock stars. More recent ones like Dick Dale are inside upstairs.

Bump on this - does anybody have any recommendations for parking?  The only spot I have so far is a 40 minute walk away

Sounds like the Douglas Luiz first-half game plan.
