[Albion] Attending games on your own

[Cowfold Seagull]

Do those who go to the game alone want to meet fellow fans? If so, more than happy to introduce myself to anyone in the East Lower.

Can l shake hands with you across the pitch from the West Lower?

Seems that the majority of us fans are Billy No Mates.

I have to say I never pictured you as a blonde songstress from Southampton (via Leicester), Cowfold.

Thankfully I have always gone with family to watch the Albion, but until recently I used to watch Colchester United alone. Didn't mind it at all - 25 minute drive from where I live, so could leave house at just before 2 and be back around half 5. Very tame atmosphere so didn't feel awkward. My philosophy is that I don't want to miss out on enjoyable experiences just because I have no one else to go with!

You say that like it’s a bad thing…

Just wondering how many fans there are who regularly go to games on their own/have always gone on their own or have met up with other solo attendees who sit around them?
I saw on the FA cup threads that people are missing out on going because their partner/family member wouldn’t be eligible for a ticket. Fair enough, but got me thinking. As someone who is happy to go to games (home or away) on my own or with other people, I just wondered how many people do routinely go on their own?

Usually go with my old man but very happy to go no my own.

Ah okay, she's moved as was living with her dad in Southampton (stalker alert! ). My daughter's in Bristol and a big fan, I'll have to let her know.

Never shared an interest in football with friends and many in fact actively hate football fans, it's sad, I've tried to impress how it feels but no joy. I just wish I'd started going earlier, used to see fans making their way to Withdean on the train to work and always wanted to go but didn't have the courage until years after.

Well I don’t think the club ever need worry up the uptake of single seats. Could dedicate a whole block to single seats, for like minded single attendees who want someone just to nod to occasionally.
