[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Chelsea *** Official Match Thread ***

[Ding Dong !]

This is turning into the journey from Hell.

Was informed at 6am this morning that due to signal failure all Thameslink trains direct to Brighton were cancelled - but could still get a train to Hitchen get a train from Hitchen to Farringdon and pick up the Thameslink in Farringdon. So left an hour earlier than planned to make the Hitchen connection from Cambridge.

Arrived at Cambridge at 11.00 to be told someone jumped in front of a train at Stevenage so there’s no trains on the Thameslink at all.

Now going to Liverpool Street on a ridiculously crowded train then have to get the Elizabeth Line to Farringdon and hopefully pick up the Thameslink from Farringdon.

Why does this happen every time I travel to the Amex

We had better put up a good side tonight!

Blimey, and I can't be arsed to travel from Worthing !! Sky TV for me tonight

Just the 3800 tickets now available for tonights game in the home ends

 

[Marty McFly]

Guess I'm gonna have to watch from the Gedling Inn again. Worked last week!

Who's for a pint? Landlady's shout.

It's almost like people prefer their partners to seeing us play Chelsea again

It's almost like people prefer their partners to seeing us play Chelsea again

I know. It's a disgrace seeing as they're our main and bitter rivals.

(I know they're not really but it winds people up!)

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I'm off to bed. I was going to say that I hope to wake up to another fine Albion victory but I've realised I'm up so early I'll be able to watch the second half while getting ready for work.

Hopefully that's a good thing!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Minumum of 96 quid for two tickets probably helps to explain this.

 

[A1X]

It's like deja vu all over again

There was me moaning about being stuck 50 miles south of Calais, but you sir that's a total mare. Hope it's a performance you will remember in a good way. Out of interest have u got to go back after the game? Safe journey

I do wonder whether the Club have got the pricing wrong, now that we've been in the Prem a number of years, the supposedly "glam" category A games are no longer games that people have to see no matter the cost. We have got used to seeing these teams and they have lost the glamour from when we first came up. I wonder if we'll see a step change from next season.

Joao Pedro is going to flapping his arms around and they'll be no fackers there!

I think it's more to do with it being a Friday night, that Friday being valentines day and it kicking off at 8pm and it is on TV than price.

 

[Dick Head]

Defiantly.

not unless its celery

That may be how you feel about your wife but the rest of us have more solid relationships!

Let's hope it is, 2-1 win again.

I have Valentine table for two booked for meal at pub that should be showing it. Haven't decided yet whether to go for full prior disclosure or lame 'oh I'd forgotten that was on' or no mention and casual eye contact with TV or even 'it must be love, look at the sacrifice I'm making'...... it is probably no-win whatever, just hope it isn't no-win, no-win.

Theyll put all the other prices up To match
the fact most of the kick offs are stupid times and the games are on TV wont deter them . . . I don't think an average of 20k a game would make any difference . . .the TV is where the money is.

Took me 6 frickin hours to get to Brighton in the end. Hopefully return tomorrow will be easier.

Lovely quiet hotel though - relaxing before leaving for train to Falmer and brilliant to know I don’t have to travel for hours after the match!

 

[Insel affe]

Feck it, we’re gonna lose…

i was just ironing my luck pants from last week and the iron melted them…

Surely you have to mention it up front, otherwise you'll be accused of conspiring.

The risk is that she tells you "piss off I'm not having you watching football during our romantic dinner", but that could happen either way.
