Parking:
Travelling south on M23, leave at Junc 11 and take 4th exit off roundabout signed A23 Crawley. ¾ of the way down the dual carriageway, look for parking signs and stewards in hi-viz on left. Turn into Broadfield Business Park where there is free parking. Park up and follow others down small footpath between allotments and another business park. You will emerge outside the stadium opposite the Redz Bar.
If full, continue to the roundabout at the bottom of the hill, go round roundabout and back up the other side of the dual carriageway. Half way up the hill there will be parking signs and stewards at Tilgate Business Park where similar parking arrangements are in place.
Drinking:
This is an edge of town stadium so there aren't many pubs. There are a couple about ten minutes walk away but they are hardly worth the effort, and I don't know when they open.
The Redz Bar at the back of the South Terrace will be open from 10.30am. Small but friendly and welcomes home and away fans. Last time we played there they laid on extra cider choices.
Away fans entrance:
Walk clockwise around the outside of the stadium until you find yourself in a corner and can't walk any further. Away turnstiles are then obvious.
Hats/sunglasses:
The away terrace faces virtually due south. At midday, if sunny, the low sun at this time of year is going be straight into our eyes. A peaked hat or sunglasses may be wise.
