I probably live as far away if not further than most - it’s a 8 hour return trip on a weekday. On weekends it’s usually 12 hours return because of engineering, staffing shortages, bus replacements, no direct trains and on Sundays, reduced services etc.

When you speak for “us” living outside Brighton, please bear in mind you are not speaking for all of “us”. We are not an homogeneous group!

Take my hat off to you. How many on here would go with a journey like that. I leave my house at 2.25 for a 3pm kickoff and get in my seat approx 2.50. However I still hate late weekday kickoff !!!

I think you've got the wrong end of the country. I mean Albion fans who live outside of Brighton, quite a lot of us travel over an hour for home games.
Saturday 3pm kick offs are much better for us, opposed to Monday at 8pm.

TBF he was referring to those of ”us” who ‘travel over an hour for home games’ - that includes myself.

It’s not a big deal, just pointing out that public transport is shlte on a Sunday so for myself at least, Saturday or weekday matches are much better.

(I should probably add that I don’t have kids and manage my own work hours so appreciate many are not in such an enviable position that they are not so impacted by this - and agree that for a last home game of the season, it‘s pretty depressing for it to fizzle out on a Monday night!)

Only @Arkwright can say what he really meant then, sounds like one of us misunderstood the meaning of “quite a lot of us” :smile:

Aside from inconvenience for many I think you've nailed it with " fizzle ". Sunny Sunday afternoon clapping the players off much nicer.
