[Travel] What to do after the final whistle?

[Van Cleef]

Yes that’s true and I’ve made no secret of that. I have learnt a few things eg that the 1730 match is shown, at least in the NS concourse. And Dick's. For some reason I thought that was one of those exclusive places that aren’t for riff-raff like me.

I’ll try staying behind after the Luton game and catching the first half of Villa-Newcastle. Disappointing to hear that Dick's closes before the end of the match. So be it. I feel I’ve advanced my knowledge at least, and perhaps the discussion might have benefited others too. If it doesn’t work out, ok, it’s back to the 90th minute dash.

It would be nice if the club read this and realised how many people have the same issue, and improved post-match facilities. Would earn them a few quid extra too.

To be honest, lots of clubs just kick you out after the game so we are a bit lucky to have the options we do.

ST’s sold out last April.

By last April I presume you mean April 2022. If that is the case how did I manage to get one in April 2023?

Yeah I guess so but most grounds have pubs and caffs nearby and a wider spread of transport options that reduce congestion.

You’re retired. Why are you stressing about getting away quickly? Stop fretting, get some headphones and listen to the moan-in on Radio Snooze or enjoy chatting to someone (Miss Scarlet?!) about the game whilst you’re queuing to leave the area. I’d reframe your thinking if you can, we’re all too impatient these days as it is (me included!)

I wouldn't try and engage Miss Scarlet in a conversation about football, much better you approach Professor Plum for a chat about the beautiful game l would think.

Miss Scarlet is a Forest STH.
Talks a lot of sense.

I thought the same

I didn't.

I appreciate this thread thanks!

I’m in a similar situation, always ran for the train but want to be more relaxed - hopefully the new outside area will be good and have a tv to watch the match.

If not I’ll also be in the north stand concourse!

They do and they know, I havent been to any other ground where they keep the concourses open after the match, we are lucky to have that and the club certainly make a few quid post match because of it.

I'm just about arriving at home then .

- If we've won ... break out the G&T, tune into Radio Sussex, post happily on nsc lying that I stayed until final whistle, but targeting b.w.2 and Dwayne as losers.
- If we've lost/drawn ... look for arguments with neighbours and family, then send the family to Coventry for a couple of days, slag off Bloom on nsc for not spending like the Saudis and seek nsc aggro with happy-clappy lickers, whilst praising b.w.2 and Dwayne's posts.
