Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wigan Athletic *** Official Match Thread ***

[sir albion]

Is there anything more pathetic than a 45 year old man sat alone in his flat in a 25 year old replica shirt quivering with excitement to the extent that he just spilt his tea?

Yes it's very very wrong and i hope you haven't got a fat belly sticking out

2.55 this afternoon. The passion and volume in singing Sussex By The Sea will be the greatest ever. Another goosebumps moment.

The players, CH and his staff, and the Board, have made this dream happen for the football people in this great county.

Today is the finale of a very long wait, the anticipation over the last few weeks has been off the scale, and fingernails have been chewed to the quick.














Today, we find out who dunnit in Broadchurch.

Just a bit nervous.

Not nervous in the slightest, which will help me to enjoy the game more. Whatever the results of the two games today, we are going up.

I believe though that we will win, and Hudds will drop at least 2.

Job done.

29 years, and the only time we have been this close was 1991. Many thanks to my OH who is covering my shop and looking after my daughter so I can take my place in the North Stand for today. See you there !!

29 years?
Could you only afford 4 years of cryogenic freezing? Hope you did 1995-1999.

Sky Sports News.
As they don't have this game live they need to big up the Huddersfield game.
"Promotion is not in Brightons hands, they need Huddersfield to drop points".
Panic stricken I had to check that we'd not been docked 12 points for a pitch invasion that hasn't happened (yet).

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Like I have for the last 30 years or more I'll be sitting up following the game as best I can at 2 am in the morn.

 

[Notters]

Oh god. The day has arrived. Tears already. Full house with Daughter driving through the night from Cardiff. Pre-match ritual out the window today. No P&R (not driving) so leaving two hours earlier than normal. Pie & Pint is likely to be a bit more than that. SOOOOOOO Nervous, SOOOOOOO Excited.

FFS man. Today is not the day to change your pre-match routine.

Just realised that I have a bottle of 'Leffe' .... oh dear.

Think more than one bottle will be required today!

A 65 year old?
Just off to buy a crate (or two) of beer to calm the nerves !!!!!

Good luck today everyone.
Enjoy!!!

If we win 4-0 will you really be bothered about the Hudds result?

That being the case & assuming we lose the last 3 games (not happening), Huddersfield would need to win something like 7-0, 7-0, 6-0, 6-0, 6-0 (also not happening) just to equal our goal difference. Win today and I'm defo celebrating!!!!

 

[GT49er]

Very excited .................... but (something first experienced in the 1957-58 season, and frequently repeated over the years) we're in spanking form, on the back of a series of good wins, at home against a side near the bottom, almost certain to win, and......we are Brighton! See where I'm coming from?
Not too worried, as I'm confident we'll get the points we need anyway, so even if today turns out to be a bit of a disappointment I'm sure it will only be temporary.
Come on the Albion - make my Easter weekend!

haha, only been going since 1988, so never seen us in the top flight

 

[carteater]

We're loose today.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Watching 'Line Of Duty' hasn't made me feel any less tense.

 

[The Tassie Seagull]

Not sure what state I'll be in when the game kicks off at midnight over here. Must make sure not to wake up the whole house when we score!

 

[Notters]

So glad I can make it today but got to rush off at the end to pick my daughter up. Not sure how that's going to work :-s

 

[carteater]

I haven't felt in my heart this sure that we're going to win since the palace play off second leg. .

I'm feeling quite tense about it all.

I'm WORRIED about today, NO nerves, NO negativity just the feeling WE are going to SMASH Wigan today and I can REVEAL the massive TATTOO I have had done of Chris HUGHTON on my STOMACH
