Wore the wrong pair of trousers

Just about midnight to get to Brighton by train

Might look at picking up an FC St Pauli shirt, I like those. That Bayern away is lovely too

Yeah have had it. It's decent enough. You do get a pretty good quantity, and it was very warming while in the train queue. It's not gonna blow anyone away, but I think it's ok for what it is.

Hartlepool with two very hard games against Barrow and Stockport as well, potential playoff implications for both of those sides. I suspect Crawley will stay up, but not going to be easy

I was going to head up, but got roped into a family event instead

Worth noting that Elizabeth Line means you can now go to Farringdon and then it's one stop to Liverpool Street. Then Overground to White Hart Lane or train to Northumberland Park/Tottenham Hale Edit: Scratch the Elizabeth Line, no service on the weekend due to signalling work. Other connections...

There was a point in the second half where I thought we'd have deserved a goal against us late on. That's the risk of that kind of game management/time wasting when you've only got a one goal lead

Oh nice, now I really am VERY tempted

The 25 is particularly variable post match, as it runs through both universities so is heavily effected by post match traffic. The bus stop by the coach park seems a better bet than the one at Falmer Station for 25s. You certainly can use them of course, and I tend to catch the bus pre-game at...

Yes, if the club arrange some transport or Seagulls Travel do a reasonable price coach I'll probably go. Otherwise it's just too much for me.

They probably would have sold them, but Club Wembley is guaranteed money in a lump sum. Probably useful for cashflow etc... when it was created

They were meant to pay it off next year, but believe they restructured the debt due to covid losses.

Probably just do a Sunday/Monday semi-final instead. I think in exceptional circumstances Europa League games can also be played on a Wednesday, but they try to avoid it clashing with Champion's League

Yes, believe Club Wembley is about 10k tickets, and another 5k non-Club Wembley in that middle tier. So that leaves 75k, minus any segregation, minus freebies. 34k each makes complete sense in that context.

I doubt this actually gets anywhere, but the fact it’s even mentioned in a plan is the furthest the proposal has ever got. As for upgrading the existing line, they’ve closed it several times for week long periods and it doesn’t seem to really get much better. And I don’t know how much you can...

I'll tell you what though, that sure says something about the longevity and consistency of the Civil Service!

While some of those attendances are very disappointing, particularly Birmingham vs Brighton as that was played at St. Andrews, Lewes was full to bursting. They actually got the council to up the capacity for the game, and probably could have sold even more if they'd had space. Very well...

Have to agree that it should be at a neutral ground really. I'd recommend any that I can easily get to without having to travel to Manchester.
