As it’s PotG you can decide whether to bother going tomorrow depending on how the weather looks. Probably worth leaving Brighton no later than 1 to get there in time for kick off though….
I do recall getting so soaked at a Withdean game against Rochdale that there was no point in trying to keep out of the rain anymore, everything I was wearing physically couldn’t get any wetter. I recall some left near me on about 30 minutes! Without having checked, I think it finished 3-4 or...
