[Brighton] First time visitor: advice welcome

[Jimmy Grimble]

Many thanks! Already did some direct research and were going to be fine! Put your suggestions on our after 9 pm list!

I saw you mention the Hand in Hand - brilliant little pub, but it is very, very small. The crowd generally spills onto the street outside. Just be mindful that you may not have a seat if you are going there. Incredible range of beers though!

Oh your serious? Thats funny. Were here to see if you're all are treating Wieffer and Minteh nice.

I hope they're not on the bench until 87 minutes

I bought mine to go to Wembley, when we played Man City, which was before Brighton banned them.

It’s also a security issue.

You know, it really isn't a "safety issue". If it was, how was I able to take my rucksack to every game at the Amex (bar one when I left it in my son's car) since it opened?

Surely its just another "initiative" to make you pay for storage and / or purchase a club branded bag which complies with the new regulations.

I would be interested to understand why my regulation sized rucksack became a "security issue" overnight after 8 years!

Apologies to OP for derailing. Hope you have a good trip and a great time on Saturday!

Don't stroke the cat if he's around. He'll have your arm off!

It's obviously a security and safety measure, and nothing to do with making money. The bag storage is hardly a great cash cow, and anyway I’m told that any money raised doesn’t go to the club. I take a shoulder bag to the stadium sometimes and make sure it’s within the permitted size. It’s not that hard to comply.

oh dear, new username perhaps as an actual goat would have done more good than wieffer in that last ten minutes

Nah, its unfair and its silly to try and make scapegoats. A terrible pass, but one pass. They still had to get through our defence. He came on in similar circumstances against both Spurs and Newcastle and did well. Baleba cant do 90 minutes yet.

 

[Sussax]

Oh well. Got the authentic Brighton experience.

Hope you had a nice time @weiffergoat

Surely there is a better thread for airing your opinion on Wieffer? The OP is just here for the weekend & asked for places to go!

He was also the player who did the presuure at the 2-0 and it was very bad defending from the defender at the 2-2.

But: pretty big mistake to be sure. But he's very selfcritical: it will be allright,

But that Baleba is a very goood player!

We had a great time. What a nice city!

Also matchdayexperience was good. Friendly people all over the place and although very dissapointedd for all of u. Sitting very close to an away-end who celebrates an never expected point is classic.

From the dutch viewingpoint:
Van Hecke was first half very good!
Verbruggen did ok: couldnt do much about the goals
Were Feyenoord till we die so we were shocked about the Wieffer mistake

And no so shocked about the fact that Veldman is on the ground all the time crying. What a sad guy

Read that as sacrificial
