[Albion] Where do you come from on match days at the Amex

[Cowfold Seagull]

Born in Brighton but now live in Hove. Is that East or West or What?

What.

 

[Brian Fantana]

Just north of Darlington. Dread to think what I’ve spent on trains and hotels over the years.

2 and 3 are the same.

Bu66er off. Brought up in West Sussex (Worthing), lived most of my life (50 years) in Hampshire.

How far just north of Darlington out of interest?

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Obviously , I now come down from London. But I started supporting the Dolphins in 1973 when I lived in East Sussex. Then in 1974 I moved to West Sussex, despite living in the same house in Haywards Heath due to the boundary changes. A few years later I started to support the Seagulls. So technically speaking the answer to the question is all 3.

Technically speaking, the question included the words “on match days”.

 

[maltaseagull]

Malta (obviously!) but only once a year.

Rest of the time I make the journey to the sofa opposite the TV.

 

[franks brother]

10 minute motorbike ride

 

[Lurker]

That’s brave!

I’m 8:00am on the M1 from leafy Northants.

Seems an early start?
I travel from West Midlands every home game, which is further north than Northants.
By car … 301 miles round trip door to door (door being Mill Road), rarely leave before 10am.
By train (via Northants) usually catch the 8.58 from my local station but once got the 9.58 and still made the game.
You must get to the Amex pretty early I’m guessing?

 

[PFW]

Travel down from Norfolk - don't get to as many games as i would like to

 

[El Presidente]

The way we have been playing recently, I sometimes come more than once.

 

[Driver8]

300 miles away in lovely North Wales.

 

[RandyWanger]

About 90 miles away

 

[AmexRuislip]

When we do visit, it's a 150 mile round trip.

 

[Frankie]

Mid West Wales,On a good trip it's a 6 hour drive with a 30 minute stop at Telford services we've done it in 5 before but we've also had a fair share of 9s and our record is 13 hours with 2 stops lasting about a hour! Imagine 13 hours in a car with Taybha after losing if you can .

Sedgefield area.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Sedgefield area.

I've seen one other Brighton supporter in Darlington, a bloke walking his dog around the centre with a Brighton jumper on who looked so utterly miserable I decided not to say anything.

Definitely not me. Not a jumper sort of guy. There are quite a few Albion fans in the Newcastle area - I tried to get a little supporters club going a couple of years ago. Might give it another go.

@Frutos has moved up to these parts since I last gave it a go, so he might lend some NSC cachet to proceedings!

I would love something like that, if there's anything I can do then count me in.

Will let you know. Last time around, I collected something like 10-15 email addresses. The plan was to try and meet up to either watch an Albion game on TV or just have a general evening in the pub.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

To the Amex I am a 15 min walk up hill to the racecourse park & ride away.
From the Amex I am a 5 min walk downhill from the racecourse park & ride away, sometimes longer if I stop in the Fox on the Downs.
