The saga special coach from Tun Wells usually arrives an hour before K/O - straight to top of West Stand, then it's cider, pie and a couple of Goldstone gamble tickets, sorry Priestfield punts, no I mean Withdean wagers, or whatever they are called now. In seat approximately 15mins before kick-off.

Usually leave home at 12.30 pm on previous day, fly to Gatwick, few drinks in evening, pub in Lewes at 12.45 on matchday, 4/5 pints of Harveys + lunch, arrive at ground apx 45 minutes before kick off, put on crampons ropes and safety helmet and commence climb up to WSU, have at least another pint + attempt to completely empty bladder by visiting urinals 2/3 times, take seat just before GOSBS, try to sing it in time to the music but find myself inexplicably speeding up, share a pre-match packet of albion jelly babies with all those in the immediate vicinity, sit back to enjoy the spectacle (well, the last bits obviously a bit of an exaggeration recently), jump up and down, shout and whistle a lot, apx 10 minutes before half-time realise that I failed to completely empty my bladder before the game, get up to go to urinal again, get told to sit down by 500 people behind me (even those I gave jelly babies to!), return to game etc etc etc etc - its exhausting!!

I get to Falmer at about 13-10. I buy a hotdog with onions. I eat it whilst walking to the ground. I put the empty tissue in the 3rd bin around the East Stand. I cut through the woods and have a couple in the Swan. I walk back to the ground, retracing my steps through the woods, arriving at 14-30. I have a swift couple of Harvey's in the ground, before taking my seat in the NS at about 14-47.
Sometimes my timing are a little off, if i have to visit the loo. :)
Sorry to be a party pooper but you know the burger bar by the station won't be t there any more?
