Opinionated
Doesn’t affect the pitch though….it’s kind of ‘suspended‘ and hollow underneath so the water runs straight though

Driving down from up north. Now stuck on the M25 and might not get to the P+R before it closes. What are our options?
Park in Woodingdean or Lewes and get an Uber/taxi?

Kudos to the announcer just now at Haywards Heath: "change at Lewes for connections to Europe via Brighton & Hove Albion and Falmer"
Anyone know the Estonian for “You don’t know what you’re doing”?
Ask Google maps?

I don't think has felt particularly real for me until I got back early from work. I'm bricking it now.
For me, the key to success tonight is mindset.
Channeling the excitement into positive energy, but approaching the game like it's any other and trusting the system. We don't want any rabbits in headlights, or over-excitement for this massive occasion (that's for the stands!).
I have every confidence RdZ will get this spot on as I think it's one of his (many) strengths.
I was so excited earlier.
Now I am SO EXCITED!!

Currently kicking myself for not making the effort to be there.

On the bus to the Amex, honestly don't know what to expect from thier fans but I'm glad I didn't have to walk through the lot outside the K&Q, Brighton colours seemed to anger them slightly.
I'm about to walk up there myself. Im not sure why I'm going so early as I don't drink. Just want to be round the place. (And ideally miss the rain)
I was reading earlier that they play a bielsa style. God I hope that's true and their manager is either full of hubris or hasn't done his homework.

Before RDZ we'd have to wait until the 20th minute for anything positive to happen. Nowadays, it's almost instant. I know I've been guilty of this before, even in the North Stand, sometimes I forget to chant, cheer, make any kind of noise. I'm just mesmerised by the way we play. It almost demands silent respect, like a frame of Snooker.
The 2nd against United was genuinely like a work of art.
The main noise I make these days is a kind of disbelieving 'oh my god!' When they do a -there's no way they are going to get out of there - followed by a rat-a-tat passing exchange and they're off!

The majority looked alright, but you can tell the "ultras" and they're ever so slightly scarier than the palace lot.
