By all means take your 10-year old to see the away players get on the coach...

[Goldstone1976]

... but if you're aged over 16 and not in possession of a kid, please don't stand around their coach straining for a glimpse of the oppo's starlets. It's just wrong. As we left, I spotted a group of about 10 20-something Albion fans doing it. Get a grip, FFS.

Live and let live.

Oi! Not many people can say they shook 'jesus' hand and be telling the truth!

Agreed and to be frank even if you are with child don't do it, much better for the opposing side to turn up with no fecker there!

 

[seagurn]

As i walked past i saw a load of brighton kids sticking there fingers up at them ...made me chuckle

 

[seagullsslimjim]

Maybe it was more a case of seeing half a billion pounds worth of world class stars - rather than say Stokes team !

Indeed, they should fence off the whole area to keep the autograph idiots away and just have a big fan blowing outsize balls of tumbleweed down a channel towards the arriving away players in a sort of It's a Knockout/Trigger Happy TV scenario.

Pity he couldn't turn the whiners on here into positives!

 

[Icy Gull]

There were possibly a hundred people hanging around, mostly in Albion shirts waiting for the City team coach to arrive. If that's what floats your boat go ahead

God forbid football fans show enthusiasm for seeing some world class players eh?

 

[Surrey_Albion]

Time to be honest ........ I have no *******& idea who any of the city players were!

 

[Goldstone1976]

...says the Chelsea fan, eh?

Love to see them on the pitch but queue, jostle and wait to see them get off a coach? Err no thanks

But you're not a 12 year old boy fully indoctrinated in all things Albion, Premier League, football. (in that order)

The OP can't have it both ways, he can't be pleased about promotion, money, and all the trappings that's bought the club and then pissed off because a bus load of deities arrived.

Either or just small minded, I can't make my mind up which.

I hadn't realised those two options were mutually exclusive...

Which has exactly what bearing on my statement? If you're going to answer, answer what I said , instead of deflecting away from your own inadequacies.

 

[The Clamp]

PL. Every match is gonna be like Mickey Mouse's ****ing birthday.

I did answer, by inference. But I'll spell it out happily - it's perhaps not surprising that a fan of Chelsea, a team stuffed full of "world class talent" for the last decade, may have a different view of 25-year old fans straining to get a glimpse of the opposition players getting on a coach than a fan of a club who has, until very recently, employed some real lower league journeymen.

I'm genuinely interested: if Barca came to the Bridge, would you have no qualms about seeing a group of 25-year old Chelsea fans trying to get a glimpse of Messi getting on the coach after they'd just beaten you 2-0?

Why wouldn't a 25 year old, (who is exactly the same age as the Premier League), not want to see the players who have been hyped beyond comprehension?

A hell of a lot of NSC this week has been Princess Dianaesque hand wringing about the emotion of the event.
That doesn't happen solely because of the Albion.

I know, mate of mine was at the bridge yesterday and didn't see any, we should thank our lucky stars.....
