Obviously not missing out on Brighton but we'll be there on the 29th. My son school are doing something pre-game.

Are you trying to kill my thread with your glib response?

Miss the Albion for a bit of egg-chasing? What a ZANY idea

Missing the Brighton game in favour of Twickenham and watching us obliterate the whinging Aussies.

As you are a Scotsman, I understand where you're coming from

Good point, well made

I cannot believe that anybody would seriously consider missing the team that they support to watch an international match of any other sport.

If it happens that the rugby matches are on ther same day as BHA play away that is ok but definitely not if we are at home.

Why?

1) I live much closer to Twickenham than I do to Withdean.
2) It is a chance to watch the first major test in the Johnson era.
3) I will spend a similar amount of tickets and travel for both games. One of the matches I will see some of the best players in the professional world and the other I would watch some of the worst players in the professional world.
4) It is an international in one of the best sporting arenas (in my opinion) in the country.
5) I might see Kelly Brook
6) I can drink beer, stand and mix with the Aussies.
7) I shall be sheltered if it rains.
8) I could go on....

Depends if you enjoy top class International rugby as much, if not more than football, I guess you don't. There are quite a few things in life I prefer to the Albion these days. Twasn't always like that I admit.

I've got Fulham v. Spurs this Saturday courtesy of tickets I won with Barclays, followed by an evening quaffing ESB in The Euston Flyer
