They're not over the Spurs game. That match thread had about 200 pages. They don't like the ref because he's from Manchester.

Is it down to what's happening on the pitch in a game, or is it a consequence of how awkward the ground is to get away from? Particularly those who are looking to avoid the queues for the train. It's a bit like the Emirates where they all leave early in the dash for the tube.

Which was more painful?

Leeds have loads of supporters clubs in the south, which is how they usually sell out games like last night. They sang "we support our local team" at Man United fans which was laughable to say the least.

New ground novelty and a club on the upward curve makes the difference.

Awful chant.

But they need a few matchday specials running. It'd stop the long queues at the station if loads could just get on at a specific point and go straight to the ground.

The book is very good and very funny - mostly tongue in cheek. A bit dated now though as it was written in 1998.

Reading run a lot of buses from Reading town centre to the Madesjki and that ground's miles out of town, in the middle of nowhere, with no train station nearby. They've got a similar capacity to the Amex as well.

Shuttle buses are the solution. You'll only need two or three going straight up and down Lewes road for a couple of hours before and after the game. Potentially thousands could go that way and it'd ease the crowding on the trains.

Start running more shuttle buses from Brighton centre to the ground - say every 10-15 minutes from 2 hours before kick off. It'd ease congestion on the trains.

Quality over quantity on that day, though. I'd rather have 500-1000 Doncaster fans, plenty of whom would have been there on the last day of The Goldstone and watched their club be nearly destroyed the same time as us, and like us fought back to save their club. I'd rather that than 2-3,000...

Good shout.

Sorry, haven't seen previous threads about it. I just think it'd be a great and romantic way to open the stadium. Would a game against a Premiership reserve side be a better way to open it?

How about Doncaster? The were the last opponents at the Goldstone, around the time in the late 90s that both clubs looked set for not only non-league (Doncaster were relegated to non-league a year later, Brighton just about survived) but oblivion. And potentially no home and no club. With...
