He is a good ref

The last time i remember him reffing us was when we beat Bristol City 1-0 at Ashton Gate (Zamora scored).

Hopefully this will be our one and only visit to Withdean,and next time we meet you will have your new ground at Falmer

In a kind of strange way I am looking forward to it ,besides I`m in the South stand so if it rains I won`t get wet

 

[Hilton]

I`m in the South stand so if it rains I won`t get wet

You sure?

 

[Everest]

,besides I`m in the South stand so if it rains I won`t get wet

Don't bank on it.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

how did you get a ticket for the home end?

 

[sully]

The South stand has no roof, so you WILL get wet if it rains.

It's the North stand that has the minimalist roof.

how did you get a ticket for the home end?

Only missed 2 away games in the last 2 seasons and still didn`t have enough loyalty points to get a ticket from SAFC so I rung Brighton asked for 2 tickets and got them was quite surprised there was any left ( fri 4th feb ) Will be keeping my head down and my gob shut and I know of a few others in the south stand as well

I tried to obtain ticket that day myself to be told sold out.

It's nice to know they are going to away fans

Out of curiosity do you live Sunderland way or down in the South?

 

[Simster]

FFS

Maybe looney has a point if the ticket office is so two-bob that away fans can get tickets because our own fans have given up trying.

There be 17-18,000 for this one if it was at Falmer.

Bloody RUBBISH!

No I don`t live in Sunderland and no longer have My North eastern accent so they wern`t to know,quite a few of our London based fans have done the same as me.
You must have had a few away fans in the home end over the course of this season ,the sooner you get Falmer sorted the better it`s a disgrace that a club such as yours has to play at Withdean.

 

[The Large One]

Damn straight.

To be honest, If you do pipe up, the stewards will be on you tootsweet. we have had a few "visitors" in the past, QPR wankers springs to mind, but we are a small ground and tend to know everyone around us, coupled with the fact that people are very pissed off at not been able to get tickets generally, I would seriously keep your heads down.

Also bear in mind that if you are escorted out of the stand, if your end is sold out you will probably be slung out of the ground
