Question for people who travel from a long way to a match?

I spend quite bit of cash before I even get to Brighton Station
on train fares (approx £20). My resolve is being severely tested
at the moment with crass displays and matches so boring I could
fall asleep.

For christ's sake Sami do something or f*** off. Because I'm not
sure how long I can go on like this.

I've supported the Albion at the GG, Gillingham and Withdean - but
never have I been so disillusioned.

Been questioning travelling up from the West Country for home games and come to the conclusion this is my last season as STH
Fed up being served up dross and being treated as a customer
My club has sadly lost it's personal touch in the last 12 months and it's time to say thanks for the memories of the first few years at The Amex and time to watch it on live streams on illegal websites and do a few away games where we can stand and sing all together

Costs me about £65 to get to Brighton and back from Brum, not managed it this season yet due to work and other commitments getting in the way, seems the fates have saved me wasting a lot of money, even the £2.50 it would have cost to get to the Birmingham game in Birmingham.

Least I don't have to fork out extra for the ticket already having a season ticket I suppose it would cost me less to drive if I slowed down a bit, but not much I think.

Well not that far and probably easier than many within Sussex, but today oh dear.

Couldn't wait to get home and I blame Paul Barber for making it rain and getting absolutely drenched in the HH area.

One bonus today a till broke down which led me getting a free pint.

Yes a free pint.

A free pint.

Is it worth it ? Nope but I got a free pint.

It costs me about £30 in fuel round trip. Should buy a desiel, but what fun would that be. Its the time it takes and the hassle especially for a mid week games more then the expense, that when I see limp, boring game, sometimes makes me wonder why I bothered. But then I justify it by thinking to myself I'm a supporter, and in my mind that is for good and bad times. That does not mean I am not a miserable git on the drive home after some of the displays this season.

Well, organising a trip to the vet. Got out this morning and made a break for the border. Up in some trees a few houses away.

Did come back eventually.

Can't let her out at the mo, until I check whether there is a chip. Can't face the embarrassment of someone ringing up and telling them I found and lost the cat.

Me too

Live in South Lobfon so leave home at 12.00 and get back at 8 on Saturdays
£100 all in
Always worth it in my opinion, irrespective of the result

I get excited on the way down, see my mates and love my seats, the atmosphere and being at football

That's just me though

Give it a bit longer mate

£6.60 return from St. Pancras on Thameslink, with a network card. Bargain.

It's the Albion, how could you not go?
