That was my point - only a handful bothered to walk the entire length of the stand.
Is an hour or so of the others' time really too much to ask?!

Ritchie Reynolds made clear that some players would be able to stay for pics and autographs, but others had other commitments.Hats off to the six or so players who stayed to do autographs. Guess the others all had pressing appointments...
After meeting Brighton's very own World Cup winner, I felt my kids needed some historical context... so on the way home I took them to see Withdean Stadium for the first time.
They'd seen enough after a couple of minutes, but it was tempting to make them sit in the rain for 90min for the true Withdean experience...

Did Ritchie have a David Dickinson-esque tan to explain his absence from the last couple of home games?
Golf?

Sanchez, Ferguson, Mitoma, March, Dunk, Gilmour, Estupinian, Veltman & BarberOUTOBE were just some of the ones I saw signing things. It was 1.25pm by the time Dunk had got from the 1st lot of steps in the NW corner to the 3rd in W1G March & some others came off the pitch & went into the stands to sign stuff. They were still there at 1.35pm when we left. One girl took her shoe off to be autographed, I hope she didn't have to walk home!Hats off to the six or so players who stayed to do autographs.

If you're taking young kids I'd suggest they get a flag to get signatures on as they can hold them up and out easier than autograph books etc.

I don't often get emotional, but watching that junior press conference made my eyes leak

The word subtle doing some heavy lifting there. This looks like good news in the offing!

Did wonder if there was an element of playing to the young audience but when he was asked about team selection for the weekend I think he was actually being serious!
My thoughts too........
