Quite A Perfect Day Really

[el punal]

Yesterday ticked all the boxes for a good day out at the footie :

Southern train from Southampton to Brighton departed on time, and arrived on time. (Gasp!)

Snow falling but not affecting anything

An Albion home fixture on a Saturday with a 3.00 kick off (Double gasp!)

After a teeny wobble nice to have not too hugely difficult opposition.

Good to have injured key players back and up and running.

An early goal to settle the nerves and a comfortable match thereafter.

All our goals scored by our strikers leading to a convincing win.

Back to the top of the table (well, for a couple of hours!), Leeds and Reading not winning, and Palace!

After a couple of pints post match, a leisurely stroll to Falmer station to board a Brighton train that had just pulled in.

Retiring to the Lord Nelson for more celebratory ale to celebrate more after the England rugger buggers did a number on the Welsh rugger buggers.

Onto the Evening Star to celebrate celebrating.

Purchased the best chips going, and with a bottle of wine to consume, boarded the Southern train to Southampton - which departed and arrived on time. (Treble gasp!!!)

Finally got home to watch a recording of C5 Championship games.

So yes, all in all a grand day out.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Yeah, but have I mentioned elsewhere it was f'cking freeeeeeeezing!?!?!

 

[Hampster Gull]

People leaving early at half time and the end ruining the day?

Slightly soured for me by the North Stand chanting "our support is f##king shit", took me by surprise.

They weren't wrong though, were they?

Not sure that bothered me all that much. Personal choice and all that but seems a bit of a waste

Being in the West Upper I never heard it. There again the match was hardly edge of your seat stuff so a bit somnambulant cheering was the order of the day.

Was that Sing Li?

Couldn't hear that in WSU so no harm done [emoji38]ol:

 

[Murray 17]

Palace losing as well - good day all round!

 

[el punal]

Was that Sing Li?

Sure was! Top notch and served in double quick time.

 

[drew]

Wasn't bad but could have done with about another 5+ degrees on the thermometer!

I must get over there sometime - used to be a regular feature of beery nights out in Brighton.

 

[carteater]

Football wise yes, but I was incredibly hungover and my phone broke...

 

[withdeanwombat]

Only the one bottle of wine for the trip back?

Have you signed on for Alcoholics Anonymous?

What did you drink after Fishersgate?

Last chip at Hove. Last drop at Aldrington. Fast asleep at Fishersgate. Bliss!
