[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Anyone know what time DICKS opens for an 8pm ok ?

From memory Club email said 5pm

OK ta.

I'm sloping off from the office at 3.30 today, gives me a fighting chance of a slightly less traumatic journey to the Home of Football.

If people are moaning about this now, wait until we're having the last home game "lap of appreciation" at 22.30 on a Wednesday night after the Man City game

Hopefully we won't have to sit through a presentation of medals to all 93 of Man City's backroom staff first. I've applauded their assistant catering manager for the first and last time

7.30pm is too early if you work. Very little time given the transport struggle there is to get to the AMEX.

Yes this. Anyone working and then coming from outside Brighton will find the later time easier. I could just about make 7:30 and I'd appreciate getting home earlier, however the rush would be unpleasant.

Its the second part of an evening double-header, as BT have our game vs Everton at 5.30. Its all part of an ENTIRE festival of Bank Holiday football...

12.30 - Stockport v Hartlepool (Sky)
12.30 - Tranmere v Northampton (Sky)
15.00 - Millwall v Blackburn (Sky)
17.30 - BHA v Everton (BT)
20.00 - Notts v Soton (Sky)

Football for the armchair masses.

Are you sure it's on BT? It doesn't say that on the club site.

The Swan at 5.30 with the usual suspects

Just add 15 mins on getting out of the shit show that is Bridge street car park exit strategy!!

Can make up 8-10 mins over 120 miles so no problem

Good job we don’t take our lead from La Liga. I checked the scores last night, the Atletico Madrid game was just coming up to half time at around 11pm local time - and it can’t be to protect them fro:the excessive heat, which is not much of an issue in early May there!

I was there as a plastic last night. It we pleasantly warm, but not excessively hot. Finished at midnight. Lots of children there too. Couldn't see the need for such a late one. Spaniards do things later than us but...Although it didn't seem late during the match. And transport away from the stadium is excellent. Opposition supporters everywhere in their own shirts. All very friendly and a relaxed atmosphere. Tickets were sold at half price and probably only about half full.

Off to Rayo Vallecano tonight, also at 10. Double plastic. Annoyed that our rescheduling means I miss a couple of home game so making up for it.

By the way, that Griezmannn is good. Pops them in for fun. He could probably do a job for us. Has a good hairstyle too.

PBOBE could've lost BT £30 by that website omission!

Most welcome sir. Our KO times are absolutely all over the shop this month.

Everton 5.30
Arsenal 4.30
Newcastle 7.30
Southampton 2.00
City 8.00
Villa 4.30

Thats why I cherished that Saturday 3pm vs Wolves. Could easily be 5-6 months before we see another one of those.

Only a few weeks ago people were commenting on how we've had an unusually large number of Saturday 3pm kick-offs this season.
To be clear, I neither know nor care if that's actually true.

Does 15 minutes really make a huge difference to people?

It makes all the difference if your house is just about to burn down.

Definitely true! We hadn't had a televised league game in 2023 until the recent Forest game I believe.

Conveniently, this coincides with me having been to my last match of the season at Forest last week.
All done for about 4months. There's a thought. Mainly of how much money I'll save.

Its a poxy KO time. We got back at 23.50. Bloody worth it though. That's why you should never leave early.
