Whatever the score we don't want to see The FIRE DRILL at any point tonight .

You have also overlooked those that believe that half time is 25 mins, given that they leave their seats on 40 mins and return on 50 mins. I am therefore hoping for an Albion 4-0 win with the goals coming in 44th, 46th, 89th and 91st minute.

as soon as the whistle blows we will be out of there....
120 mile drive home and work tomorrow......dont all live 10 mins away..

They should lock the gates!

Oh if only they would.

Amen to that.....I have 150 miles to go.

Why do people feel the need to find something to be negative about ?

This could be one of the great nights for our club.

 

[LamieRobertson]

There should be 30,000 to clap The Albion on and 30,000 to clap them off.

Doubt you will get the opposition to applaud us on and off

ask the OP.....hes a complete buffoon...

sorry mate but with the rain that's FORECAST there's gonna be plenty of EARLY!

Good news forecast says rain clearing pre match

As I've said before, we just have to accept there are two types of people who come to watch the Albion. Die hard who go to support and get behind the team and will stay til whatever hour the team are still on the pitch, and those who go to football passively and see it as entertainment.

And there's nothing more entertaining than a late twist, as Saturday proved. The best way for the disappointing exodus to stop is for Albion to keep serving up last ditch drama. If nothing else, it's satisfying for those of us who stick around and support the players regardless of the score or getting in half an hour later.

Good news we can put the sprinklers on

Pornomagboy started all this, back in the day.

 

[Dan Aitch]

Seems strange that no one can accept that a passionate, committed. lifelong Albion fan might still choose to leave early. For some reason they're always seen as 'plastic' fans when they get up and depart before the final whistle.

However, just to be on the safe side, I'd just like to add that I'm certainly NOT in the group of people who leave before the end; London-bound or not.

 

[Gritt23]

Whatever the score, I shall be disappearing down the exit as soon as the whistle goes. School night for the youngster! (of course, heaven forbid we are 4-0 down with 10 minutes to go I might just leave a fraction earlier!!1

Exactly! I'll be home around midnight as it is, which is tough on the boy on a school night, but that can't become 12.30 or 1am simply to keep some people on here happy, who don't like seeing empty seats at the end.

It's a shame the ratio is about 5000 to 20000

Just the 110 miles for me.

 

[MissGull]

imagine if we'd played at home on Saturday. Tragic consequences for the early leavers.

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Nothing wrong with a fire drill.

Makes the queues for the bar and trains better for the rest of us.

'Please do a fire drill, Please do a fire drill'...

So true. After the Middlesbrough game, it was an easy stroll onto the platform despite not leaving until the final whistle. I even had a seat on the train!

It's funny how leaving Withdean early never got you labelled as anything like that

 

[John Bumlick]

They should lock the gates!

Fire drill? Lock the gates? Is that some kind of sick Bradford reference?

 

[Eeyore]

At the Goldstone, they opened the gates when there was 20 minutes left of the match. People would come in. Who'd have thought it?

I used to turn up at half time on a college night and enter free of charge. If I came in at the south west corner, I could even sneak into the south stand seats.
