Anybody go to the football on their OWN?

[element]

At the risk of the usual Billy No Mates jibes, does anyone (else) go to the footy on their own for any reason?

I ask, as none of my mates or family are that bothered about going regularly, so I got myself a rather nice single in the WSU

And tbh, it's worked out well. I get on well with all those around me, and they are quite knowledgeable and supportive of the team

If anyone I know fancies taking in a game, it is quite simple to sort out a pair somewhere else in the ground

So any more singletons at Amex Footy Central

Not regularly, I go to the football because it's a social thing more than anything especially with the prices charged these days, but I do go occasionally to meaningful matches e.g. Wrexham away because it was the last match before I went to Austria for 5 months, Also been to a couple of northern games alone when I've been up there visiting family.

I usually do a couple of aways a season, to grounds I haven't been to, and prefer to go on my own. 'He who travels alone, travels fastest' is my motto

Yep, I sit in WSU by myself.

I went to Watford alone on Tuesday, but given that I'm based in London and it was after work it was a bit of a no-brainer. I'm not sure I'd travel to distant away games alone.

At home games though, there are a couple of people near me in the north stand that come along alone - if you get on with those around you (they do) then it's all good, as you're not "Billy No Mates" during the game at all...

i got to the away games on my own, but got my ST with my mates

 

[saafend_seagull]

Yep, I sit in WSU by myself.

Been to many games on my own in the past,but that's probably because i like many don't live around the brighton area,personally makes no diffrence to me.

I go to Lewes on my own, mainly because the friends i know go Brighton, and i volunteer at Lewes.

I enjoy watching the games on me own, pint of harveys and tbh you make mates going.

Surprising the amount of Brighton fans at Lewes, even come in with Brighton kits :/

 

[ozzygull]

Yep. Most of the time. Don't mind as I don't like it when people talk to me while I'm concentrating on the game.

 

[Wardy]

I go on my own when I get to go, though once there I meet up with 20k plus people.

 

[Lady Gull]

I sometimes go on my own if my little girl has a party or something - I sit in the North but my son and bro are also in there so although I'm on my own - I'm not really as they are on the concourse - I never really mind going on my own - the people round me are nice enough and always say hi and have a chat.

 

[redhill seagull 66]

yep i do..my mates are either not intrested in football or support arsenal or too busy with families.on the odd occasion il get them to go.or i should say i did at withdean.doesnt bother me as at away games i can book into a hotel and do other stuff im intrested in on the next day

 

[Oscar]

You're never alone if you follow the Albion.

 

[Washie]

I'm thinking of going alone tomorrow

 

[Titus]

I went on my own during our spell at Gillingham. Nobody I knew was stupid enough to go.

 

[coagulantwolf]

Don't have lots of friends that are Brighton fans; and those that are are all season ticket holders! So I often find myself going to games on my own. I'm ok with it though!

 

[seagully]

Go to away games on my own when I can't convince the missus to come with me.

As I live in the Midlands, quite a few of my friends support Midlands based teams so I often travel to and from games with them. Birmingham away last season for example.

 

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

For years I went to withdean on my own as my football mates moved away, lost interest, started supporting chelsea. Would go a few games a season with mates. Now go with CWWW jr and meet up with a lot of these that drifted away (JCLs).

I got a seat with my Brother but occasionally he don't go (the slacker)
