There's also the occasional contingent that travel to home games from well outside of Sussex. The thought of watching a poor performance against West Ham and parting with the best part of £200 is not at all appealing...and it's a long way from Leicestershire.
I agree with the OP and felt playing as they did nullified the home crowd, reducing their 12th man impact which they will need to survive the drop - happy but disappointed with how they played.
Supported the Albion for 38 years. Lived in Guildford through childhood, now Leicestershire. My dad (zero interest in football) randomly took me to a game at the Goldstone when we were in Hove visiting elderly relatives (he was more bored than me)......I was hooked from that moment on. Kids...
Unfortunately too many people with season tickets where the Albion would be their second team. Therefore no passion or any sort of atmosphere when you have these type of games.
Really interesting to read this thread for the first time, and quite unbelievable. We've paid for 3 of my daughter's papers to be remarked - Maths, Geography and English - she was 1-2 points off a higher grade in all three. For Art she was predicted a 6 and only got a 3, the school has asked for...
I had this discussion with a friend recently, he regularly visits family in France. He told me the bargain hypermarket visits are a thing of the past and I'm better off buying in the UK. He also told me we don't need to paint our lights yellow to visit France!
Spoke to my Forest mate last night and he genuinely thinks Cooper would be a good fit for us. He’s still held in high regard by Forest supporters and did a good job for them under a nutter of an owner.
We have an ethanol burner, replacing a multi-fuel burner, and had quite a few problems with its functioning at first (new tech). It’s fine now though and appreciating the convenience of turning it off/on instead of the hassle of cleaning etc. We have an air quality monitor in the room and seen a...
Haven't seen this mentioned specifically but I thought Lallana was excellent last night in the way he orchestrated the game. I was close to the pitch and his talking/yelling/screeching to his team mates was constant. I thought he did a good job winding up a couple of their players, and...
What time would/will people be catching the train from Brighton to avoid potential trouble. I’m travelling down from London and fear entering some mass brawl on arrival at 18:45!
Both my son and daughter have ADHD and 90 minutes of football is the only thing they can sit down and watch without moving about. They now come to away games and the noise, smells and just stuff always happening around them just keeps their attention. Maybe not for all kids but works for my two.
