As I couldn’t buy my usual EU seat I had to go for the lower tier. Bought one in the back row to get a decent overview of the pitch but then realised I was looking at the seating plan the wrong way and have actually bought a ticket in the very front row. Quite annoyed but hey, maybe I’ll be able to share the excitement of all the kids who like to be pitchside. I’ve spent the morning preparing my “Rutter can I have your shirt please” sign which has cheered me up.

I took my driving test in Crawley. Horrible place full of roundabouts. Is there an uglier town in Sussex?

Much better than doing the Test in Brighton all those years ago.

I can’t think of one. It’s the Croydon of Sussex. The only good thing to come out of Crawley is The Cure.

Looks like the whole lower tier is sold out: this should beat the 1992 crowd size.

Good betting tip for tonight:

Rutter to score 1st - a generous 6/1 with paddy power.

As per previous posters notes about Rutter’s eligibility to play tonight, I would say those are some of the least generous odds you’ll ever find.
