[Other Sport] The Amex today: the sequel

Bozza · Sep 20, 2015

It's hard to believe today will live up to yesterday's dramas but I'm looking forward to it all the same.

Just dug out the tickets to note we are in row A in the South Stand so spotting ourselves on TV should be easy enough.

Who else is going?

Hyperion · Sep 20, 2015

Gutted I couldn't get a ticket. Yesterday looked magnificent on tv. Enjoy your Amex Egg Chasing

Hampster Gull · Sep 20, 2015

Off to wembley and All Blacks vs Pumas

ozzygull · Sep 20, 2015

Yep going today, was going to support the underdogs USA, but found out their nick name is the Eagles

. So it's Samoa all the way for me. Hope it's a good game.

Gutted I coundnt get a ticket - Oh well off to Plumpton

Will they need to relay the pitch afterwards or is it holding up well?

Have an amazing time fellas. Would have loved to have gone. Was at Twickenham yesterday for France v Italy. Great atmosphere even if the game didn't rise to the level of expectation set by Japan at the Amex.

I watched the RSA v Japan game at the Eel Pie Pub in Twickenham. So, proud to see the Amex on the TV. Such an achievement for our city to be hosting these events.

Quote of the day overheard from a bloke in the pub where I was watching the game was this:

Him: "Where's that being played then"

His mate: "Brighton Community Stadium"

Him: "Well, Brighton Community Stadium are doing some very good things. That place looks brilliant."

I puffed up with a bit of pride.

The pitch is grown from seed with artificial type roots so I don't imagine relaying is an option. Looked fine so far anyway with 2 weeks to repair the scuffs.

I think the pitch gets relaid every season. I seem to recall that the reason The Who didn't play the Amex in the summer was that the date they could play clashed with this process?

Resown I believe rather than relaid. I may be wrong but thought that was the case.

Very much looking forward to this! Hopefully the atmosphere can get close to yesterday's magnificence!

Not sure whether to turn the collar of my polo shirt up or not.

I'm not into rugby but an old colleague dropped me a message yesterday to say he was watching the game, realised it was Brighton and felt compelled to send me a message saying how great the stadium looked.

I've been picking up a few bits a pieces from friends in town last night and by all accounts the whole day has been quite fun.

Scruff bag. It's surely jeans, shoes and a pink cuff-linked shirt at the rugger?

Pitch looked superb to me on TV. Grass was longer and no huge divots coming up.

In fairness, they actually are the Eagles. It's their national symbol and Eagles are from there. They're the one nation that should be calling their sporting team the Eagles.

Expect to be missing kick-off such is the queue at Brighton.

There are other ways of conveying the same message :wink:

Captain Sensible · Sep 20, 2015

Suppose Samoa will have the neutrals favour today?

deletebeepbeepbeep · Sep 20, 2015

I was at the game yesterday lots of people very complimentary about the Stadium, a few who were exclaiming how it was too good for a football team like Brighton. I held off from pointing out our position in the league.
