Anyone going to this? With the summer holidays in full swing, (bonjour from France) no news of a supporter's coach, and a train strike scheduled (no idea how trains to the coast are affected) it looks like driving is the only option for most, so I'm guessing there won't be that many Hampton supporters there...

I’m going. We have a pretty good recent record at Eastbourne and three points would set us up nicely.

Is it easy to park at the ground? I’ve not been there before.

Very easy...there's a huge car park out the back.

Regarding trains, there does not appear to be anything going south of Gatwick Airport/Three Bridges on Saturday, the Southern trains website says:

"We will operate to limited opening hours with services starting later and finishing much earlier than normal. Some routes will finish earlier than others, and some stations will not be served at all. Check your first and last trains carefully, as there will be no alternative travel outside of these services."

Eastbourne have got new owners in the close season and reported to have gone full time. The bookies odds suggest they will be aiming for the playoffs. However, they only had 3 pre season games (plus one behind closed doors) so maybe a chance of catching them cold.

Why don't the Supporters Trust organise a coach to go to the game?
