Wow, bloody people doing what they want rather than what others want.

I didn't have a pie, and I'd paid for it .... unbelieveable, isn't it?

My Wife sat and read her book all through the match, as that was her choice as she wanted to be "with" the boys and I.

If anyone chooses to leave early, arrive late or ddress as a chicken it's up to them (although not sure about the chicken as it may restrict others view)

What is a good fan? Someone that spent a lot of money commercially during the Withdean years or someone that stays for 90+ minutes?

Amazing scenes in West Lower yesterday, where the tragi-comedy of Stockdale’s keepy-uppy cock-up was matched only by the wholly unexpected stampede from the concourse of several hundred of Albion’s finest the moment tap-in was gratefully completed.

Granted, a customer investment totalling two whole quid is unlikely to guarantee fanatical support and undying commitment to the cause. But one might have hoped for visible presence of a little more of that legendary Brighton Backbone.

Of course, there’s always the possibility of entirely plausible excuses for vacating the virtual skirmish so early. These might well include: –

1 It’s a great way of avoiding those horrendous queues for the trains, or park-and-rides.

2 Leaving early gives me 10 more precious minutes for walking the dog / clearing the shed / rogering the wife / rogering someone else’s wife.

3 Can’t beat the chance of a welcome stroll in Falmer village. Especially in torrential rain.

4 Any others? Your suggestions please…

I can promise you I was at that Gillingham nearly every "home" game, yet I left early on Saturday. I had reason for this, not that I'm going to share with others, but being called a rat is a bit harsh.

Am I a bad fan? I need to know and have some redemption from you, else I won't sleep tonight.

If the game is beyond sav ing I see no problem what I dont understand is people leaving after 85 mins when we are only 1 goal behind and capable of scoring to get at least a draw.

Same here. Did my time at Priestfield but I'm a rat?! Even worse, I left the Scunthorpe defeat (3-1 I believe) at half time because I was so peeved with abject performances. Surely that puts me lower than a rat?

Nope, I thought exactly the same, right from kickoff. I was waiting for it to pan back a bit, but it never did. It was zoomed in RIDICULOUSLY closely, it was very difficult to see what the hell was going on. That might well be why we were so poor.
