Strange little Amex habits?

Too many to list.

Strangest one is basing my assumptions about the quality of the opposition on the quality of their coach, that's their transportation rather than their management!:moo:

There's flawed logic in that, which will catch you out: The bigger Nothern clubs that can afford to do so, will FLY down, and hire a rubbish 'standard' coach for the short local bit.

Are you there tomorrow night [MENTION=12196]tinycowboy[/MENTION] ?

Could do with some of that Indiepop Three-goal magic.

Sadly not - last home game of the season too :down: Was going when it was on the Saturday, but can't make Friday evening. Also kicking myself that I didn't bring that Camera Obscura CD on Monday......

I have a pie before the game, then another one during, and sometimes another one after.

It's strange little habit that I'd rather kick, but this addiction is only punctured by the WSU catering team running out during peak periods, which is not an uncommon happening, or the Vegetarian option being the only one available. Yuck.

My other half likes the pies too, but doesn't attend. So I have taken one home before. If only you knew how hard it is to travel home without eating said delicacy on the way, and claiming they had sold out...

That video is 1 hour 50 minutes long. Surely I could be abducted 3 or 4 times in that space of time and still have enough time at the end for a shower and then a cup of tea.

Ah, but you can normally spot those because they have a club logo embossed transit van for their kit parked behind the coach, so in that instance all bets are off.

Also cleanliness comes into it. Charlton's coach had muddy wheels so we knew they were in trouble!

Always the same jeans, getting old with holes so looking forward to next season. Walk down the central stairs of the right hand set from park & ride bus. Pie & Pint (Harveys).
I take the blame for Mondays result as I missed the pint.

Is this strange? Dicks - 12.30am if not earlier :eek:
Stagger up to the North End Disabled---East Upper at 2.45 and take it all in:albion2::albion2::rave::rave:
Then fall into my seat and pretend I know what's going on for the next 96minutes:drink:
This will be punctuated by outbursts of foul & ABUSIVE language aimed at the whole team------that welsh bloke---------------OSCAR(do something for fecks sake) and finally at the normally BALD blokes in black who are meant to be in charge of the whole SHAMBLES:moo:

As an 'exile' having to ration my visits to The Amex each season I can only envy you regulars. It is still such a precious experience to visit The Amex that I get a real buzz just turning the corner as I come off the platform at Falmer station and get my first sighting of the stadium. So many thoughts flood through my mind - from my first match at the Goldstone in '66 and the rollercoaster of emotions following the Albion since then. Mainly that surreal feeling that the Amex is 'our home' and needs to be savoured.

The second best sensation is when I walk from the concourse out into the stand and see the pitch and stadium interior revealed in all their glory. I don't think I'll ever get tired of that.

The feelgood factor is always helped by a couple of pints of Harveys, fabulous.

I know we have a moan on here from time to time but shouldn't take for granted that we are watching football at the top end of the Championship and are fighting to get into the Premier League, so not too shabby either.

As soon as I get to the stadium I go and get myself a chicken pie, twix and a coke and eat that up then at 14.45 go for a pre-maTch wee.
That's if it is a 1500 kick off
