Stoke away - Who going in the home end then?

[Wilka]

Will people be trying to save themselves £9 and going in the home end for this one or paying the extra for the pleasure of sitting in the home end?

Have to say i'm tempted to go in the home end. It's not as if you need to sit near any of the home fans as its normally half empty and if its like our usual performance at Stoke then we won't have to worry about celerbrating any goals anyway!

Saving the money!

Going corporate hopefully.

What's with the price discrepancy?

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

ill be in the away end, cos my dad said he would pay, and i love the singing that goes on with our away lads, then again if everyone is saving the money we may as well take over the home end

 

[saafend_seagull]

Away end i believe

 

[Uncle Buck]

I will be drunk, if that helps.

Hit the comedian who comperes it, one of my regrets fom last season was not loudly objecting to his homophobic statements about Brighton.

 

[Braders]

nah the away end , worth the money to wear stripes and sing GOSBTS

Are clubs allowed to charge lower prices for home fans to away fans, even if it is a one off promotional offer?

 

[Albion Dan]

Apparently. As they are advance tickets only and we arent being sold advance tickets.

I wouldnt recommend anyone go in the Stoke end, not the friendliest bunch!

Interesting. And I presume they didn't sell us advanced tickets because they know full well that of the 1,000 or so Albion fans going, 900 of them will have decided to do so well in advance. So basically, they're taking Albion away fans as MUGS.

And this will never change until fans actually take a stand and decide not to go to the piss taking away team on principal. How come we all talk about boycotting Focus Do it All yet people seem to take this sort of blatent piss take as par for the course. It's a disgrace IMO.

What did he say?

 

[Redhead]

I'm going and sitting in the away end, think the accent might give me away even if i don't wear the stripes. Plus a mate of mine at uni up there stewards the away end so plenty of standing to be had me thinks!

 

[Stinky Kat]

What did he say?

all the original stuff about Brighton fans being gay etc. The 'best' bit was when the old Stoke players who were part of the hospitality package came and sat behind us in the stand and started calling the players homos, by this point I was well oiled and said Im from Brighton but they were oiled and did not care and its not good form to lump a 70 year old in the home stand at Stoke although the Silverhill Warrior who is 65 could have done it for me.

Got my ticket for the John Smiths stand yesterday. ONLY a tenner. Not that bothered about being in amongst home fans. Will be interesting to watch a game from the 'HOME' point of view for a change and see what it's like to view Brighton fans in away end from a distance. May try & join you all in away end if stewards allow me.

Obviously got to be careful what I say & do!! But that's NOT going to stop me enjoying the game, especially IF we can get a result this time. Hope we get a better ref. than last seasons game!!

 

[Rougvie]

I wouldnt go if I was offered a free helicopter ride right into the ground.

Its just not SHOWBOATER enough for me

 

[Wardy]

Those Stoke fans are not the nicest bunch. Plus if a steward finds out then you will be watching from the outside of the ground. That is if the Stoke fans haven't decided you should watch it from the hostpital instead.
