Huge crowds developed at Brighton Station today as hundreds of eager Brighton and Hove Albion fans queued to get on to trains to the Amex.

Some fans blamed a new queueing system for the problems.

Brighton station heaving with #bhafc and #swfc fans. Trains being sent to Falmer half empty. This hasn’t been thought through very well…

AFTERNOON ALL WELCOME TO THE CHAOS HERE. I THINK @SouthernRailUK HAVE MESSED UP TODAY. @BHAFCtransport #BHAFC @OfficialBHAFC — Brighton Station (@brightonstation) August 9, 2014


And season ticket holders were met with more queues when they arrived at the stadium itself, thanks to teething problems with a new ticketing system.

Sadly, fans were unable to console themselves with a win. Click here for our match report. 

Brighton and Hove News understands that the Brighton Station queueing system is now under review.

@nomis1066 @brightonstation @BHcitynews I think the issues can be overcome. Over 13000 are moved in a space of 40 minutes post match
