  1. Only logged on today,but I was there last night for my first and last visit to the Withdean. Thought there was an element of "after the lord mayors show" about the team and us fans. The "stadium" didnt help that feeling,what a strange place to watch football. I think Brighton have been one of the better teams we have played this season,they attacked us with pace and their passing was slick at times. Having said that,we came back well and really went at them when the substitutions were finally made.Lee's goal was a sweet moment. Mixed in with their fans after the game,in the bus queue and there was good friendly banter.Only downside was getting flashed by speed camera on the way home gggrrrrrr
  2. Im going to use the park and ride at mill road. You use your match ticket tear off bit as payment . Its right turn after the A27/A23 junction,just on the road into the town centre. I think theres a garage and spa shop near the roundabout and you head right. One thing,the buses back leave from a different place than the drop off point. I'm told that parking around the ground is a no go.
  3. Wonderful day,my son will never forget his 13th birthday,spent at Wembley watching our team score 4 goals.Magic! Always felt we were destined to win this trophy right from that comeback v Torquay. Nice to see Morgan and Wayne Thomas with the boys at the end. Also well done to Pardew in getting Simon Gillett and Chris Perry on the pitch. Only down point was the most pointless foul mouthed jerk sat behind us in Blk129 row 41.Even if I hadn't had my wife and kids with me it would have still wound me up.
  4. Got mine today,is it true that you need binoculars to see across the running track,sandpit etc. Wonder when their new ground will be ready? Havent done Brighton away since the old Goldstone Days....good times.
  5. Only recently seen a replay of Swindon's goal. Charlie Austin looked offside when he received the ball,yet at the game I didnt even consider it. Did anyone notice that on the night,did our players appeal?
  6. Block 129 row 38. Will leave it with dirty boot prints for the skates visit. Just like they did to my lovely white Northam BLK42 seat. grrrr
  7. I know,never thought I would see Swindon do the double over us either:mad:

    Did they really? Didnt hear sod all from them all night. As for that free kick,looked unstoppable to me.
  9. I think that was our first 'double' of the season. Some of our opponents this season have upped their game against us,but Wallsall were truly shocking,especially that centre back. Those top 6 teams are just maintaining form and the gap from 7th to 8th is large at this stage of the season.
  10. I agree with so many of these posts. The pitch was awful,but we turned out in numbers expecting to see a gung ho performance on the back of a great win at Norwich and were badly let down. I wasted half a days leave from work and all I have to show for it is another new ground to tick off.Thats the risk you take being a fan. Thanks again to all the friendly fellow Saints who make these trips bearable,theres always someone who has a chat and some of the banter is great.In your own way you add to the occasion especially for my kids have only recently started the away journeys.
  11. Based on last night's pitch,I would say it was a very apt way to start a match! Bring back Sir Clive. (well for Exeter,Wycombe,Stockport,Bristol,Millwall and Brentford. All carp pitches as people said last night,fit for spuds and rugger.
  12. Sounds great,but I take it thats your assumption. Unfortunately our ticket office dont know what the split prices represent in a single block.I've phoned 3 times and had 3 different answers. 1. The prices decrease the further away from the halfway line you go! (What in a single block FFS) 2. The £24 is for wheelchair access tickets!! 3. I dont know and I am dreading Monday!!! For some,it might all seem trivial,but to a lot of us its important. The view or location you get could be a key thing. How much do you make a cheque out for,when you dont know what youre going to be buying.Sorry,but I'm getting wound up by the whole thing better chill a bit!
  13. Got my tickets ordered. I read somewhere that they are considering moving to a new ground,yet they cant have been at Adams Park that long. Hope the egg chasers havent ruined the pitch!
  14. I just find the whole thing confusing. I suppose the easiest way is phoning and talking to someone,but for me that would cost £12 for the privelige. Postal for me and put my trust in someone being bothered to find me my best choice. I phoned Wembley to get clarification on the 3 different prices in same block query and they told me to contact my club! I did this and no one at Saints really understands the price structure.A ticket office girl told me that we are advertising some blocks that we shouldnt be selling.SW corner is one of those,as there is confusion over the shade of green on the map!
