Since you could get group tickets for this match, wife and kids plus her sister, brother-in-law and kid is coming down. This is making me nervous as I'm desperate for a good Brighton performance. Don't want patronising "never minds" after the game, I want "that was amazing, when can we come again?". Somewhat naively, I'm expecting a thumping atmosphere and an exciting match. When will I learn?

Nervously excited for this one. It has a "must win" feel about it, but actually, a win against Cardiff / Southampton will be even MORE important when they rock up, as its one of us 3 that will be taking that final relegation spot.

3 points on Saturday would be so huge for us. Anything less will be a devastating, possibly mortal blow to the teams confidence, and ours. I confidently predict that IF we play like we did at Leciester, then Huddersfield will be overwhelmed and we'll win comfortably.

Excited AND tense here.

We simply have to win this. To not win wouldn't mean we're down but the pressure we'd be under would be awful.

'Tense' is exactly the right word here. I dread to think of how I would feel leaving my seat on Saturday with a draw or even loss. The
effect on morale would be devastating. It's nowhere near the Hereford factor, but I get the same kind of feeling. Can't believe I said
that.

I'm going to have to regulate my intake now I know Mike Dean is in charge. I'm a bit of a nightmare for yelling at refs generally but that f**ker is something else.

Oh seriously? For ****s sake. The man is SUCH a bellend.

It's the rest of the fixture line up that also excites me
Cardiff, Soton, Palace and Toon have eminently losable fixtures. Saturday changes the outlook immeasurably.

Our biggest game of the season so far.
Saturday 3pm kick off, so loads of time for a pre match slurp.
A victory would be a confidence boost for the team and the mood would change on here for the better.
Cannot wait.

Me too but I’ll be there in spirit and suffering having to make do with text messages for updates.

I'll be getting dirty looks from the inlaws as whilst we're meant to be spending quality family time I'll be fiddling with my phone trying to access the match in some form. We'll probably be on a country walk at the time somewhere with no signal.

I’ll be driving back to the UK so probably best not to mess around with my phone enroute!

Strangely I find it far more nerve racking listening on the radio, watching a stream or getting scores texted than I do being at the game, however badly things are going.

Andy D’Urso was a particular favourite but Mi*e De*n is an utter tw*t.
Just thinking of what could happen Saturday with that w*nk*r in charge is already getting me wound up. He’s not biased against us - just useless for all with the potential to cock up massively in either teams favour.

Probably need to calm down and not drink or else PB will be watching

Saturday 3pm k/o relegation six-pointer, what's not to like?

Exactly, it’s death or glory.....maybe :smile:

Win and we are going to be ecstatic lose we will be despondent and a draw will feel like a loss.
