How long in advance of the game do you reckon you will get to Falmer, and how long do you think you stay afterwards?

Again, hopefully the poll should enable those that want to respond to answer both parts of the question. I think.

This depends on the type of beer on offer. If it's crap then I'll stay there for as short a time as possible. Club please note.

On matchdays I will will begin my routine the night before by setting my yellow, rectangular alarm clock from Ikea that I got given for Christmas. You can record a voice on it or use the standard alarm noise. I used to have a voice on it but now I just use the one provided. I will set this for 8am if the game is on a saturday. The next day the alarm will go off, I will shuffle to the bottom of my bed and switch it off. I used to be able to switch it off from the side of my bed but I re-arranaged my room recently and overlooked this problem. I will shower, I always wash towels and bedding on a Friday so I have a nice fresh towel for my Saturday shower. I am currently using Radox African Sanctuary shower gel, but this is a limited edition one so not sure if it will still be there when I go back to Sainsbury's. After my shower I get dressed. I use a moisturiser as I get dry skin this time of year so that will be applied before my top goes on. After I am dressed I put my shoes on and head across the road and buy a paper, The Guardian, some eggs (free range from Bumble Hole Farm) and bacon. I read my paper whilst I eat my breakfast.
I wait for my breakfast to settle while watching Saturday KItchen and then I'll either put my shorts, T shirt, socks and trainers into my blue sportsbag and head to the gym or I will go for a run. When I have finished my sporting activity I will head into town and meet a friend or two for lunch and a pint or two. I like to eat Ham Egg and Chips for lunch on saturdays but not in The Font as I don't like the cutlery there. Then I suppose about 2pm We will get onto a bus, not sure where from yet and make our way to Falmer Stadium, The new home of BHAFC. I will have a drink in a bar there, not sure which one yet as it hasn't been built but I may go back through the threads on here and decide as some people seem to know all that is happening in Falmer. We will then make our way to our seats and watch the game. I am not sure how warm it will be in the stadium (anyone know this yet? please PM me if you do) but I will wear my Carhartt jacket and a hat to keep my slightly bigger than average ears warm.
After losing the match I will filter out of the ground immediately and go back into a pub in Brighton for food and beer. I will have a pint of Becks or Guiness and Chili in a baked potato. If you do need any more info please PM me. Ta

Where's the option for "I'll never, ever set foot in that place"?

Yes, as long as there's none of that warm real ale muck that 1.7% of the population drink I might stay behind.

Club please note.

Depends on the people I'm at the game with, couldn't care less what alcohol is or is not on offer.

Two questions, but you can only vote for one option. :dunce:

Oops! :dunce:

I was going to make this 2 different polls, but thought that might be trying people's patience...

Plus I was trying to keep my 5 month old daughter amused.

Looks like a cock up. Please ignore. I'll try to fix later. :blush:

Everything would be the same except the alarm clock, the towels, the shower, the eggs, the bacon, the paper, the gym/run, the ham egg and chips, the 2pm bus, and the chili spud.

Ha! This is only once in a while. I poach the eggs and the bacon is grilled. Ham and eggs for lunch is a treat. I would normally have HP sauce with these. Bit of mustard.
