Back in the Championship days, I knew a Leeds fan via work. He came down from Leeds for an Amex game, and spent the whole game at the concourse bar - didn't go into the stand at all!

Option A - purchaser probably bought the Fulham programme (as a back edition) from the club shop on Saturday and forgot it. Ok - you can relax now!The relationship to expensive match programmes always seems a bit strange to me. Very many people just store them under their seat. I guess on the plus side it means they don't get folded. Tho on the minus side it means the entire row stands on them as they shuffle past to their seat. The kiosk arrangement re programmes is quite bonkers also. T'other week I actually saved the club about thirty quid. The wobbly-handed server was about to pass me my brim-filled pint directly over a stack of pristine programmes lying on the counter. I actually yelled STOP!! Oh, and on Saturday, it was weirdest of all. As I was licking the contents of my molten Guest Pie off the wrapper, noticed an unattended programme on the shelf nearby. It was from the Fulham game from two weeks ago. That's an epic fail right there on the part of a) the purchaser and b) the stadium cleaning staff. What gives?
And... RELAX!

Is he the same bloke who does this every bloody time we get a corner? If so, tell him to pack it in and sing 'Seagulls' instead!There's a guy in the North Stand (if he's who I think he is, I used to work with him many moons ago and his name is Richard) who disappears off into the concourse for a piss/beer around 30/35 minutes every game. I only notice this – from ESL – because every time he does it he bangs on one of the metal signs to the tune of the 'der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der, der BRIGHTON' chant
Not sure if that counts as strange, but it makes me laugh every game. I missed it/him on Saturday though.

Yup, top bloke! Makes the N1G stewards standing directly below the metal signs jump clean out of their skins. Then has a laugh with them about itThere's a guy in the North Stand (if he's who I think he is, I used to work with him many moons ago and his name is Richard) who disappears off into the concourse for a piss/beer around 30/35 minutes every game.

Was the unfortunate victim of this in the club shop last season. Picked up a new jumper for junior and amongst the tat in the queue said to him do you want a programme as we well. Picked it up without even looking at it until we got on the coach and it was the game before.Option A - purchaser probably bought the Fulham programme (as a back edition) from the club shop on Saturday and forgot it.

To make matters worse it was Cucurella on the front!
That banging accounts for 60% of the noise we make throughout the 90 minutes, I think we need metal signs to bang on in all the stands

Plastic cups so easy to bite down on the rim of one, and hold the other.

Has anyone ever had a poo at the Amex, I haven’t, just wondered if others had.

For some strange reason I used to get the urge mainly when Hyypia was the boss.
Being a 1901-er, it’s true.

I'd suggest that if anyone ever wants a crap at the Amex, do it well before the start of the game, otherwise you'll be cleaning 30 assorted mis-directed sprays of the yellow stuff off the seat (unless you are good at hovering...). The North is bad, usually accompanied by a large puddle of the stuff on the floor too - often wondered how many people are just missing the loo for the fun of it!

If you are only washing your hands to kill germs, then use the antibacterial hand sanitizer provided on the concourses.
Save water, it's better for the environment. You only need soap and water to clean off dirt.
