I'm still trying out new ways of getting to the Amex from Shoreham. Have cycled to the last two games and earlier in the season used 700 bus and walked from town centre.
Yesterday, I made a last minute decision to walk to the Amex from home! All 10.6 miles ... in 2 hrs 43 mins!
It was a gorgeous day ... which obviously got better from 3pm ... and walking in home shirt from a few seasons ago I got a number of encouraging toots and cheers of 'up the Albion' and 'hope we win today'.
But as I was on the last stretch walking along Lewes Road, I was passing stationary traffic heading into town. There was a car with its top down ... with three blokes (late 20's/early 30's). The passenger in the front shouted 'hey mate' at me. I looked in his direction expecting another encouraging cheer .... err no!! 'Brighton are .... shit ... they're shit aren't they mate' ? ... he screamed with his face all bulbous like a male cat that hasn't been castrated!! I'm in my 60's ... can't be arsed with confrontation ... so just said, 'if you say so ... mate' and continued walking.
Oh how I wish I'd seen them again coming back the other way just after 5pm as I was walking back down Lewes Road.
Oh ... in case anyone's wondering ... I didn't walk the 10.6 miles back home (I'm not that crazy)!! Just walked 3.5 miles into town where Mrs HS picked me up!
