I have taken the time off to go and support Gary so it was disappointing to find out that the trains aren't running,

I intend to go by bus, the 700 to Littlhampton and then another 700 to Worthing to catch a 23 Metrobus to the ground, It is only hourly on the 23 so I am keeping my options open to got to Brighton and get the 17 to Horsham and then a 98 or 23 to the ground from Horsham railway station.

This would have been an ideal opportunity for a supporters club coach but in the off season it might not have been filled because Horsham is os local and the rail strike news came in at short notice. Anyway by hook or by crook I'll get there, Up the Rocks !

I was going from Pompey but no chance. Thanks a bunch RMT

Would have gone. Would have been happy to offer empty spaces in my car but will be in Hyde Park for the Rolling Stones. A shame the two events clash.

Statto - you do realise Gaz started playing shortly before the Rolling Stones were formed...?
Anyhow, hope those who went enjoyed the 7-7 draw and Rocks appearances from two Howells and a Killpartrick!
