[Albion] U18s game postponed after Arsenal team goes to Bournemouth by mistake

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

You are joking, 18 year olds spend the entire journey looking at pieces of plastic in theirs hands with lots of pictures, not a chance they would have looked up or even be aware of where they were

Easy wipe porn mags?

What an invention that would have been pre-internet!

 

[Jack Straw]

Who’s driving the coach? Frank Spencer?

It's like Groundhog Day!

Not that unlikely that driver typed BH15 instead of BN15 in to the sat nav. Happened at least once to someone visiting. Same thoughts about how do you not notice? In that case is was because he was on handsfree calls!

Really says something when this isn’t the most embarrassing moment for coach driver involved in a Brighton match

 

[A1X]

How did they manage to get all the way there and not realise it? Surely someone somewhere must have thought “hmm…not seeing Brighton on many of these road signs…”

I suspect what happened is that they thought they were in fact playing Bournemouth, rather than Brighton.

Big six fans always mix us up for some reason. Little South Coastal clubs beginning with B, easy mistake to make right?!

Maybe Bognor too?

Incompetence from someone who will Shirley be getting sacked in the morning ....

 

[portslade seagull]

Hmmmm easy mistake to make as we both start with a B

You don’t know where you’re going!

Am I going mad - where does it say the Bmouth bit in the article?

It’s been edited. Earlier version clearly said Bournemouth and even mentioned the distance from their training ground to ours.

Ah I assumed it would be something like that. I reckon someone from PR at Arsenal got onto that!

Look at the full URL/address for the webpage though. That still mentions Bournemouth

 

[Jozalu of the East Stand]

Very strange that the Arsenal Under 18 coach and former Bournemouth player Jack Wilshere did not notice before it was too late. Maybe Kemy Agustein was driving the coach, I’m guessing he used to struggle to find our training ground when he played for us.

Hmm, doesnt it look like the driver has a mobile phone on his shoulder Fire him!

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

The writer’s original tweet about it, mentioning Bournemouth, is still here.

 

[Chicken Run]

still shit driving but not quite as bad as first reported

 

[tedebear]

2 1/2 hours wide of the mark, I wonder why they edited the original release now? Very bizarre...

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

The thing is, if you're heading for Lancing for (at the latest) an 11am arrival, and you take (just say) the M3 instead of the M23, you'd have to be a long way down the M3 before realising that it's impossible to double back, or hang a left onto the A272, and still make it.

ah, that reliable news source The Argus, well I can only take from that is the Arsenal team took a morning stroll on Bournemouth pier turned up at Dean Court (or whatever it’s called) got changed in the away changing room and walked out on to the pitch five minutes before kick off time
