You are probably not interested but here it is anyway. I just wanted to try and have a thread without the usual keyboard warrior bullshit.
Just got back to Essex and I'm obviously extatic at the result. I couldn't see it coming for most of the first half though. You were good value for the lead even though I can't remember too many chances apart from the goal. Having said that, at one stage I thought we might be on the end of a tonking.
Second half was a completely different story and we dominated the game.
I won't go on about it but I have to say it will live in the memory for a long time.
Through gritted teeth I have to say the stadium is nice..BUT...what a shit place to get to. No parking anywhere near the place, we drove around for ages and at every turn the yellow jackets appeared. How do you put up with that? It has to be the worst ground I have been to for access..and people say Selhurst is hard to get to?
When you got going, your fans were loud! Why didn't it happen that often though? For most of the game, I heard very little from you. I was a bit disappointed with the atmosphere although I thought we did ok and considering we were behind for most of the game I thought our fans did well.
I had a quick look at a few posts on here before writing this and it says there was some trouble around the ground and at the stations. I didn't see anything at all. We started to walk towards Falmer station for that underpass but turned around when we saw the queue and walked down the A27. If there was some bother then it is hardly a surprise and I'm sure both sets of fans share equal blame for it.
Anyway, a top night out and I'm looking forward to the return at Selhurst with hopefully a similar result! there's no point having a rivalry if we never play each other!
