What time do you normally get to the Amex before a game?

[MissGull]

and tonight?

Midweek is usually 20 mins before depending on traffic and the queue for The Bridge. I usually time it to work until 6 and then stop for food on the way.

Saturday I usually take the train as i've got more time. Usually aim for 45 mins before the game. Time to get in, queue for food and watch whatever's going on on the pitch/read the programme.

Do you have any pre game rituals?

 

[Lush]

I'm usually in my seat with a pie at least an hour before kick off. It's like my second home.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Usually 90 mins before kick off.

 

[Badger]

Midweek - usually about 20 minutes before kick-off depending on trains back from London

Saturdays - about 45 minutes before kick-off

Tonight - 2 hours before kick-off (working from home)

 

[brightonmark1234]

leave mine at 5 and in the in the ground just after 6

 

[Birdie Boy]

Straight to pub from work at 4:30, meet kids at btn station 6:20, at ground by 6:45. Same for all evening games.

 

[Official Old Man]

Mithras about one hour before KO. Always think this is plenty of time and every home game I have to rush the pint because of the traffic queues. Tonight arranged to be at Mithras at 6:15 as I'm not driving so two pint action I think.

 

[The Large One]

Do you have any pre game rituals?

Midweek - Dick's at Six.

Saturday - Sling the guest(s) out of the studio, swift half somewhere, train or bus to the ground, arrive about 2.30pm-ish.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Usually 90 mins before kick off.

Even earlier than that for me. I take that bus in my avatar from home at 10.53 on Saturdays, change at the Old Steine, and arrive at the ground taking in the atmosphere just as the gates open at 1.00. If l don't get that early bus it means wheeling a trolley round Sainsbury's with the missus. Which would you rather do?

 

[BattFink]

Weekday games I'm lucky to get there before kickoff (usually get in the stadium as GOSBTS is being done)

Weekends - kind of depends on how the pints are flowing

 

[Triggaaar]

I'm normally there 10-20 minutes before kickoff.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Dicks at six weekdays, dicks at 12:30 Saturday's - can't understand why people choose to turn up just before KO!

 

[Randsta]

Tonight will be there from 6 normally 7

 

[tinx]

In the ground about an hour before kick off, take seat about 5 - 10 before kick off after Pie and pint on the concourse.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Weekend games I meet [MENTION=1663]Scoffers[/MENTION] off the charabanc from Buggers Hole about 2.15ish.

Mid week depends where I am working. WFH today so a pint in town then off to Dick's most likely.

 

[Munkfish]

Saturday Games vary. If no pre match drinks going on, I get the 2.34 from Hove takes about 4 Minutes to Brighton, Jump on the train to Falmer arrive in my seat a couple of minutes before KO.

Weekday games, generally a lottery. tonight finishing work at 4.30 head to the pub and arrive at the ground a few minutes before KO.

 

[Scoffers]

Weekend games I meet @Scoffers off the charabanc from Buggers Hole about 2.15ish.

Mid week depends where I am working. WFH today so a pint in town then off to Dick's most likely.

And I meet [MENTION=616]Guinness Boy[/MENTION], the literary genius from Portslade, about the same time for my first pint, of course it's usually his fourth by that time but who is counting

I can't answer this as I left for Dicks five minutes ago

 

[martyn20]

Normally 45 mins or so but tonight it will depend on how close we get to the coach park!
