I know it was a spelling error, but the thought of an "annoncer" just hit my funny bone.

Did you have to sit on the floor on the Virgin train?

Yes. Tidy little mob of them that had forgotten their own pewter tankards and had to be served in plastic glasses kicked right off. Also a tasty looking lot from Worthing had to be on their toes when they drank the last couple of pints of Old Bollockknocker in one of the micropubs. Got pretty lively.

It was my youngest son's first Brighton game so decided to make it a family weekend away with my wife, my eldest boy and the in-laws.
I agree with all the comments about the Burton locals, everyone was so friendly and helpful especially the parking attendant who let us leave again once we had reserved a couple of spaces.

Just a shame it was one of our fans who put a bit of a dampener on an otherwise great weekend. We had to leave a few minutes early as the 4 month old had decided he had seen enough (luckily I saw the penalty from the concourse), but this didn't stop some knob head bravely having a pop at my 65 year old mother in law about leaving early. I had gone on ahead so didn't hear any of this, and wasn't told about it until back at the hotel, but just don't understand why people feel they have the right to criticise other fans especially when we were (and always will be) putting my kids needs ahead of my football club.
If you were the person making the comments, please send me a message and I'll give you my seat number at the Amex so you can come and find me to apologise.

Before you say anything, this man was not me, and was well out of line to do this, but why would you bring a 4 month old to a football match?

We went for a family weekend away as we all enjoy football, and it would have been frowned upon to leave him at the hotel on his own! In all seriousness it wouldn't be most people's idea of fun, but he is pretty chilled out and slept through most of the match in the shoulder carrier. My other son absolutely loves watching (his first game was Norwich away when he was 7 months old) even though he's only 2 and a 1/2 so had no doubt that he would enjoy it and behave.
I'm very strict with them and it's my choice to take them so the responsibility lies with me to control them or remove them, as I wouldn't want them stopping others from enjoying the game.
