[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City *** Official Match Thread ***

[GJN1]

I'm taking my oldest mate, and Man City fan, with me to the game tonight so if you see him feel free to beat him to a pulp.

Cheers.

 

[Live by the sea]

Main objective tonight if you can’t draw or win don’t get thrashed !

England England's number 5 Englands number 5

So their defence tonight could be Lewis Walker Stones Gomez? Still strong but it might give us a chance.

Theres going to be loads of empty seats tonight.

Every time I look at our ticket site there are more and more tickets available on the exchange and not many are selling (especially as it's a Wednesday night and the most expensive grade of game)

Also, Man City twitter is literally full of city fans trying to shift their tickets too. Obviously, the game has now become unimportant for them and I guess people are thinking the same goes for us to a lesser extent

That surprises me. After Sunday I cannot wait to get back to the Amex again.

 

[GJN1]

I'm not entirely convinced that I want us to win our last two games because if we do we'll be on 67 points and, if other results go our way, then the five points we were robbed from the Palace and Spurs games, might mean we should have been in the Champions League.

I just don't want it to be an issue.

 

[Littlemo]

Yup, cos every STH arrives by magic carpet, gorges on complimentary all-inclusive buffet and beers and has no job or school run in the morning

Wow, the season ticket package has really improved this year.

Hi All

City fan here. Well done on your season and the football you are playing. Can anyone advise roughly how long you have to wait to get a bus from the Amex to the city centre after the match? Thanks

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Train direct to the centre is easier

Either wait for the train or walk down to the Grill and Pud takeaway on Lewes Road (<10m walk) and get a bus from there.

Where do I get the train from in the city centre, the main station? Is it relatively frequent pal? Hopefully after the game you’ll be having an end of season lap of honour (while I nip on to the train!!)

Yes the main station. Straight north from the clock tower / Churchill square. And the station at Falmer is right next to the ground.

We're not expecting a lap of honour, they did that on Sunday.

 

[Bring Back Swales]

No, no you should do another one tonight!!

Walker and Stones were outstanding against Madrid.

Get the train mr city fan

not sure thats good advice... the 28 bus from above the uni tunnel often has MUCH less of a wait than the B-town train queue

Not many people 'nip' on to public transport at the Amex unfortunately but the train queue is often not as bad as it looks. So people don't get pushed off the platform, there's a holding area that's out of sight which is empty when there's a train imminent. Even if the queue is way back you'll usually get on the 2nd or 3rd train providing Southern aren't playing silly buggers.

Or you'll get on the first train if you leg it once we're 2 goals up

Lol, I’ll find a way. Someone said your match ticket gets you on the bus? Not on the train assume? Sorry us northerners are very poor

Yes, train too. Once you're in the Brighton & Hove area or travelling along the coast, all public transport is included. So Falmer to Brighton (westbound) or Lewes (eastbound) and vice-versa are free. At the stations nobody will even check. On buses, just show the ticket.

 

[WATFORD zero]

No, no you should do another one tonight!!

Let us knock in 5 with no reply and we may well do
