So next Thursday will be the most momentous Brighton away game in our history. Thousands of us will be descending upon Amsterdam for the few days prior to and after the match. We will all have our own favourite place to stay and drink during this time, but would it not be a great idea to have one central place for everyone to meet up a few hours before the game? As a seasoned visitor to Amsterdam, I would choose Rembrandts plein, as it is only a 20 minute walk, or 10 minute tram ride to central station for those attending the match. The square, is surrounded by sports bars, cafés et cetera and will be a great place for all of us to congregate. I was thinking maybe a 2 pm meet up which gives plenty of time for those going to the match To have a couple of beers before departing and the rest of us can then go to our chosen place to watch the game. This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment for all of us Brighton fans, and I think we should at least have one time when we are all together to celebrate.

What about us poor sods without a ticket, in need of comfort, a big screen, and reasonably-nearby access to toof?

Already booked a tidy restaurant to top up on the necessaries not too far from ticket collection.

I hope everyone has a ball.

I don’t have a ticket either . In my opinion, you have three choices as to where to watch the match. You can stay in remembrants plein and watch it in one of the sports bars there or you could go to Leidseplein where there are also plenty of bars. Personally I will be going to the red light district as there are many bars there that will definitely be showingthe game. Either way, all of those options are within 10 minutes of where I suggested we meet up.

Just as long as no one mentions politics.

Get some Heineken in, buy the cheapest crap from Iceland to deep fry (especially if it is round) and replace the light bulb in front room with a red one and you are there.

Ideally next door are having a hen night to the early hours and you befriended a stoned American businessman in the afternoon and can't get rid of him.

I shall head for Rembrandtplein after the comedy show..... that square was recommended to me by several Dam regulars that I know.

For the spurs game the official advice was avoid rembrandsplein as that’s where a lot of Ajax fans drink .

Personally not worried . That place is miles better than dam square

Marseille was the most momentous away game in our history and this one isn’t likely to top it! It will always be our first away day in Europe.
