[Football] Who did you sit with?

[Hovegull]

I was next to a United fan, who kept forgetting not to act annoyed when United missed chances - and therefore made it extremely obvious.
Also next to a group of people who obviously had no interest in the game at all. Sat in their seats on their phones (one was actually trying to hold a voice conversation) until they left on 71st minute. Didn’t react to anything, barely looked up. Not a single colour between them.

 

[Hamilton]

I was sat among Albion fans who were all watching the game.

 

[happypig]

Bloke next to me seemed completely disinterested and buggered off on 42 mins not to be seen again. Bloke next to my son was the same but had a hat on.

 

[Vin]

Sat in front of two united fans who were not hiding their passion for Man U. Driving me crazy.

 

[AmexRuislip]

With Mrs AR and several thousand other Albionites.

 

[BNthree]

I was stood with friends and family. Only saw Albion fans in my immediate vicinity.

 

[Monkey Man]

Sat just below Steve Sidwell and his family, who was being generous with anyone who wanted a chat or a photo.

And just along from a lad who was sick early in the first half and needed leading away. Sadly this was too late for the unfortunate guy in front of him.

 

[Icy Gull]

I went with three mates and had the misfortune to sit next to a guy on his own on my left. He was as pissed as a fart and spent most of the game slagging off March and Dunk, calling the ref a see you next Tuesday and Rashford a cock sucker. I was delighted he didn’t come back for the second half.

I did however have the chance to say “Thanks for a great season“ to TB who was staying in the same hotel. He smiled and said “It’s not over yet” He was with his family so didn’t linger to try and chat.

 

[brightn'ove]

a family to the right of me left on 65 minutes. bizarre

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I'm guessing I was sat next to a guest and Beatles fan as he was merrily singing 'Hey Jude'

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Saw a couple of people from the North Stand, so good to say hello. A spattering of Utd fans and football tourists but all in all a good day, except for the bloody result!

 

[Hamilton]

Given that nearly all tickets went to STH and Albion+ members and that tickets were not transferable it’s amazing how many are saying they were sat next to United fans.

I hear there were 10,000 Albion in the United end.

Then again, how many regularly go to the Amex, even though Brighton are their “number 2 club” and grew up supporting Arsenal, Spurs etc.
There was a family on the train near me, taking the tags out of their new Albion scarves and the son said to the dad, “are you more of a Brighton fan than Liverpool now?” And the dad said “when Brighton are above Liverpool, yeah I am”.

 

[El Turi]

Everyone around me seemed to be absolutely hammered. Including a lad who puked just after the game started.

Always good to see someone respecting that. Big bugbear of mine is players out and about being approached by people when they are trying to have family time.

You stayed in the same hotel ? You'll be rivalling NSC's richest poster then !

Prehaps beating the rush for the park and ride buses

Strange that Tony was staying in a hotel when he lives down the road in Camden !!

There was a guy about three rows in front who was barely able to stand upright …staggering up and down the isle

 

[Mellotron]

Jules Breach and her family were two rows in front of us down in the lower tier.

Couldn't think of anything worthwhile to blurt out, but kept an eye out for any ashtrays whizzing past.

very nearly no one as I ballsed up big time twice.

When in STH priority 2 we could first buy I bought print at home tickets for me and my brother in our respective names, they both came to my email, I sent him his.

Then days later bought 2 guest print at home (in my name) and sent them to friends.

On Saturday, I went to email saw Brighton ticket conf, opened, saw 2 .pdf files, opened one thinking it was 50/50 mine or brothers, it had my name, so printed it out....

Get to Wembley, then it dawns on me "sh*t, I've printed the guest ticket, oh no"

Yep, had to find stewards, then ticket office, show ID to get new, took 30 mins, now in a rush about 4:15, I legged it to first yellow entrance, thinking they're all linked by concourse, tickets wouldn't work, but fella sees me and says, come in the disabled entrance which we did...... then when in, realise I'm on lower level and can't get up to my block on upper, had to be escorted in staff lifts and got to seat 1 minute before Dunk walked out.

Actually relieved I finally got there. What a total bellend!
