buying my first season ticket this year as for the first time (a) I can afford it now, and (b) I've moved (slightly) closer to the 'bok, allbeit still only as close as London.

I can afford the season ticket no problem but for a train ticket from london to Horwich, I'm looking at 70 quid return!!

So I was wondering if anyone on here either goes up regularly from London and knows a cheaper way, or if anyone knows whether the club do something for fans not located up Norf.

I'd be absolutely gutted if i couldnt buy my season ticket because of this.

Cheers.

Some kind of year-long train pass is about the only option, if they do it?

Not that I can see. Only thing close to that is a monthly season ticket. Costs £1,200 :shock:

You'll get nowt cheaper than buying tickets... If you book far enough in advance then you can get cheaper on a Saturday morning, but you have to hope the fixture list doesn't get changed... I had a season ticket for the first few years I was down here and ended up;

a) spending a fortune on the train
b) missing a load of games as they moved them to Sunday's or Mondays...

That's exactly what I'm worried about. Was thinking they're might be less changes to the fixture list now we're in the championship?

I'm West Sussex postally but the towns of Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and East Grinstead are known as Mid Sussex as we are right in the middle of the 2. Indeed, when i lived with my folks as a teenager on the edge of Haywards Heath half our garden was in East Sussex. Dad was very excited that we 'owned land in 2 counties' :roll:

Either way, i think Brighton away and possibly a London game or two will be more then enough watching of BWFC this season. I think i'd rather save my money to watch Arsenal, funnily enough, though i have never been to Bolton town. Is it nice? Not really a holiday destination is it?!
