GETTING AWAY:BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION

Brighton at this time of year won't really be a family trip to the seaside,but Doncaster are traveling down there on Saturday.Three years ago,Donny were the first ever opposition to visit the newly-built stadium.Billy Sharp scores the opening goal but Rovers lost 2-1.

Please note:The weather in Sussex overnight will be windy,so there may be a chance of a postponement.Check before you set off.

TRAIN
The nearest railway station is Falmer, which is situated right by the stadium.Fans often say that the quickest and easiest way to get to the stadium though is by train. Falmer station is adjacent to the ground. It's three stops from Brighton central station on the line to Lewes and Seaford. Alternatively, you can avoid Brighton completely by getting a train to Lewes and changing there for Falmer.

Brighton Central Railway Station is over four miles away from the stadium. So either get a train, taxi or bus up to the stadium. 

BUS
Brighton & Hove Bus No 25 can be caught from Cardinal Square stop G operates a regular service (every 12 minutes) up to the stadium from Central Brighton, as do Bus Numbers 28 & 29. Journey time is around 20 minutes. On return the No 25 leaves from the stadium via a stop through the coach park, near to the away fans entrance.

WHERE TO DRINK
There is not much in the immediate vicinity around the stadium. There is one pub called the Swan Inn located on Middle Street in Falmer, which is about 15 minute walk away, but for most fixtures this is for home fans only. Alcohol is served within the ground in the form of Kronenburg,Strongbow, Harveys real ale,Fosters,White,Red or Rose wine. Harveys have also produced a special 'Albion' bottles beer which is only available at the stadium or from the Harveys shop in Lewes. 5p from every bottle sold will be donated to the Macmillan Cancer Support charity.
