[Albion] Villarreal friendly 10/8/24

[jackalbion]

Full match day train service for this for some reason.

 

[Guinness Boy]

It is not.

Assume outdoor bars will be open though as I've just arranged to meet someone there!

Looking forward to this. Will at last have some football to talk about and keep us occupied (Euros and Olympics not quite the same as actually being at a Brighton game).

 

[jackalbion]

Be mindful that the weather is expected to be very hot on Sunday folks.

Excellent as the game is on Saturday.

Good job it's on Saturday.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Sorry for the pile on @Eeyore , but knowing Dazzer and Jack I can definitely say great minds think alike

I knew that. I was just mentioning it as folk might prefer to do their family things like going to the beach on Sunday.

... and you can't prove otherwise

I'll pencil in the looting of Lush for Sunday then.

Not wishing to worry you GB but weren't the outdoor bars placed exactly where the construction is taking place?

I thought they were moved round the corner, under the ramp road on the west side and sort of opposite Dick's?

Don't give me another reason to riot!

I think was just the food that was moved and the Harvey's bars closed, but I could be wrong.

 

[Easy 10]

Any idea if the new Fanzone is open and ready for this game?

Frankly I'll be mildly surprised if it's open before the end of the season. This was last Saturday...

Ah yes i know where you mean, you could well be right.
Sorry for the slow reply, was distracted by the Olympics!

There aren't any outdoor bars currently.

There aren't any outdoor bars currently.

All the better to bring a few tins and sit on the grassy knoll and people watch.

The whole things is probably 70% foundations and groundwork. The structure will arrive on big lorries ready to be bolted together. Won’t take long.

 

[Easy 10]

They've got a fair bit of clearing up to do before the game on Saturday. Unless they're expecting fans to squeeze between the building site and the back of the North, whilst also hurdling a TRENCH.

You're probably right.
Thank god for IKEA.

That's a good point. Has anybody ever been chastised for bringing their own food n drink and consuming it on the grassy knoll in full view of the Amex?
