The chicken pie was gorgeous.

The Mill Road park n ride was super efficient, with little traffic on the A27.

Is that a joke ? I mean did a steward really nab your wine gums ?

Do people honestly watch the game, or just make their minds up from the result?

Heaton pulled off a string of superb saves in that 1st half. March had a decent effort early, then forced a cracking save when it looked certain to be a goal. Gross (widely criticised) was also suffering at the hands of Heaton, who pulled off two great 1st half saves from his efforts, the second of which was a finger tip effort guiding the ball barely wide of the post, which was quite frankly incredible.

A nothing ball, became a through ball on goal because Dunk slipped over, and we found ourselves 1-0 down and incredibly unlucky to be there.

Second half, they scored two on the break, the second of which came from a clearance that had more of a place at Twickenham than the Amex. A sliding-doors moment on the day, where rather than having a penalty for 1-2, and all the momentum to attack for the equaliser, we find ourselves facing a penalty and going 0-3 down.

Yes we lost, to a team who operated a classic smash and grab, and did it well. But the level of doom and gloom I'm hearing is as if we are in Huddersfield position rather than our own.

An over officious steward confiscated my bag of wine gums upon entry stating I might throw them onto the pitch. Probably saved me 300 calories although still felt a bit annoyed as they cost me £1.50.

As everyone left early, I ended up in the queue at the bottom of the stairs to the busses , in the rain, and waiting for the busses to return from dropping off the first groups. Queued around half an hour and the journey back was quick .

The rabbit croquette was back on, as a special, at Cin Cin on Saturday lunch time.

I left on 70 and still didn’t get the first bus. It was heaving up there, a sea of wet and glum faces, even with 20 to go in the match. One of the buses broke down, and tempers got a bit frayed with the stewards indecisiveness.

Left at full time from WSU, mate stopped for a pee and yet we still walked straight onto the first train back to Brighton.

Oh, and I got the honour of buying [MENTION=409]Herr Tubthumper[/MENTION] a beer after the game

If, for whatever reason I had to leave on 70 mins, I wouldnt bother going at all. I dont understand people leaving 2 mins earlier if there is only 1 goal in it either way but 20 mins is beyond me.
