and tonight?

Midweek is usually 20 mins before depending on traffic and the queue for The Bridge. I usually time it to work until 6 and then stop for food on the way.

Saturday I usually take the train as i've got more time. Usually aim for 45 mins before the game. Time to get in, queue for food and watch whatever's going on on the pitch/read the programme.

Do you have any pre game rituals?

I'm usually in my seat with a pie at least an hour before kick off. It's like my second home.

Mithras about one hour before KO. Always think this is plenty of time and every home game I have to rush the pint because of the traffic queues. Tonight arranged to be at Mithras at 6:15 as I'm not driving so two pint action I think.

Even earlier than that for me. I take that bus in my avatar from home at 10.53 on Saturdays, change at the Old Steine, and arrive at the ground taking in the atmosphere just as the gates open at 1.00. If l don't get that early bus it means wheeling a trolley round Sainsbury's with the missus. Which would you rather do?

Weekday games I'm lucky to get there before kickoff (usually get in the stadium as GOSBTS is being done)

Weekends - kind of depends on how the pints are flowing

Weekend games I meet [MENTION=1663]Scoffers[/MENTION] off the charabanc from Buggers Hole about 2.15ish.

Mid week depends where I am working. WFH today so a pint in town then off to Dick's most likely.
