[Albion] How early do you arrive?

[Hovegull]

I’ve seen lots about early leavers. But what about early starters?
I heard two OAP sisters who are STs near me say that they go to their seats as soon as the stands open and bring a picnic lunch to have while they wait - to make the most of their day out!

How much before a game do you arrive?

See you at 5.02pm!

 

[Taybha]

I'm sure the missus would say too soon on this one

 

[Oh_aye]

Really depends on the game. Last two I went to the Swan quite early for burger and chips but in general arrive about 40 mums before the game.

I'm going to head off in a minute for tonight to soak up some atmos.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

About an hour, because it's hard battling the crowds now (also an OAP)

 

[Gabbafella]

I used to get there as soon as the gates opened so I could have a few beers, but now I drive and do the P&R I get there about an hour before, have a catch up with people and get to my seat about 10 mins before kick off to have a chat with the bloke in front of me.

60-90 mins usually. Pie, tea, watch the end of whatever game is on the TV/chat with pals then go out and watch the warm-up.

Out of interest, do you think it's a 5:00pm kick-off?

 

[Deleted member 37369]

If travelling with Seagull Travel on their Matchday Bus, we usually get there about an hour before kick off. If I make my way by independent means ... cycle/bus/walk ... I'm usually a bit earlier.

Poor English - that should be 40 mothers before the game.

No, it’s what time I’ll be in my seat after my train arrives in! (Hopefully)

I like to watch the warm up, then the songs, then the team coming out. I like the routine!

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Arrive to my son's in Coldean Lane about 4. Then stroll to the ground and have a beer. Lovely and relaxed.

 

[Official Old Man]

Use ST who get there too early. Generally 60+ mins before KO. Watch the previous match, pie & drink and then take my seat about 30 mins before KO.

 

[A1X]

Are we talking stadium or seats?

Stadium probably around 45-60 minutes before KO depending on train turmoil, seats 15-20 mins

Did PB give them a pass to bring a picnic?

 

[Beach Hut]

Around 30 minutes before KO

 

[kevo]

As close to kick off as possible. I hate all the sitting around waiting for the game to start.

 

[Wealden Seagull]

3hrs for a sear in the swan for previous game.

Bet the lid gets taken from off their lunchboxes.

 

[Acker79]

As close to kick off as possible. Sometimes I misjudge it and get there 5-10 minutes early. Might aim for a minute or two after kick off today, to avoid any nonsense with the coronation related anthem.
