In a pile of football shirts
There's the Reds and there's the Greens
Super slicks and has beens,
They're accompanied by three men dressed in black,
One's a whistle, two are flags, and quite often they're the drags
Kick the ball into the goal, they put it back.

Yes Match of the Day's
The only way, to spend your Saturday

Each side's eleven men, with numbers on their backs
But at a distance they all tend to look the same
But some own their boutiques, well they clean up every week
Inciting riots, causing chaos, such a shame!

But Match of the Day's
The only way
We spend our Saturday

And that's not all, our mates the keepers
Slippin' and sliding in the mud
Arms as long as creepers

Send him off Ref' ***!!++??
Where are your specs Ref' +++***!!!
Kick you to death Ref' !!XX**??
Oi! Are you deaf Ref' X*+X*!!?

There's a few things before we go
That I think you ought to know
Obstruction, Body Checking, heavy tackles
So put on your hat and scarf
Have a drink, have a larf'
From the terrace you can see your men do battle

Yes Match of the Day's
The only way
You can spend your Saturday

Don't forget, the trainers with their sponges
Managers with open cheques, liquid business lunches

Send 'im off Ref' ***!!++??
Where are your specs Ref' !***&&&!!!
Kick you to death Ref' !!XX**??
Oi! Are you deaf Ref' X&+X&+!!?

...Phfff! Good game 'ey, Ron?...
...D'you see that goal in the Second Half? oh!...
...Bit of a dirty tackle that, mate!...
...I reckon I should've had a bet on it myself!...
...We paid 400, 000 pound for him, you realise that?...
...Oh - look out, here comes a bottle ...
...Yes, fancy a pint then? My round...

I have done this and prepared our journey, but I was merely asking just to check that I was not the only one getting the 9:37 from Brighton. As I am not very experienced with transport and London I just wanted to make sure I was not going too late as it seemed like everyone was leaving much earlier. I suppose that's common practice as most fans will be going into the pub's before, but as you may understand I did not know this before.



dont listen to them Tim.

there will be loads of albion fans on the trains therefore just follow the crowds.

I think Piers has put on his "grumpy shoes" on today.

Much as you are young and I do not want to seem harsh, you could use your own initiative especially in these days of the internet when it is so easy to find these things out.

You can get all the information you need from the following:

http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/
http://www.leytonorient.premiumtv.co.uk/


Careful! I had the same issues with some young self abuser about the West Ham game last year and caused him to PM me.

I could almost taste his tears of frustration as he typed furiously that I was missing the point; he wasnt really wanting to know directions etc, he just wanted everyone to know that HE WAS GOING TO AN AWAY GAME!

Of course in our day we just had to get on with it and go. No inetrnet in them days see.

Tips for Tim.

There's about 5 trains between 9.00 & 10.00 from Brighton, take one of them (avoid any that stop at more than 3 places.

You can go to Victoria or London Bridge (London Bridge trains go on further, usually to Bedford so bear that in mind when looking for the train).

London Bridge is nearer to leyton. If you go to Victoria then it's a much longer tube ride, Vic Line to Oxford circus the Central eastbound.

Frm London Bridge you can tube it to bank then join Central or Jubilee to Stratford and join Central, not so many stops this way.

As you are not drinking you won't need to know where the pubs are. Don't make too much fuss or shouting on the trains as this draws attention of police or rival fans. If your new to this then it's best to follow the lead of others.

There'll be a fair few Albion at the station so just tag along & you'll be OK. As your going with some mates fix a place to meet at the end of the game incase you get seperated in the crowd.

Enjoy it, should be a good day & ideal game for 1st away (was my 2nd away game.)
