The Brighton game is on my 65th Birthday !
My goodness, it will be a marvellous present if we win.

I trust that a glass or two of sherry will be raised in the Mr and Mrs Willo household, to mark the occasion.

Yes there will be a strict non-observance of teetotalism !

Any idea on the football special time of departure from Falmer to London Victoria?

I have to say I let out a parp of ridicule on reading this post.

I have been a fervent supporter of our club since the 60s and any suggestion that I have any allegiance to Brighton is hogwash in the extreme. They are anathema to me.

 

NEILLO Flag Shoreham-by-Sea 07 Nov 17 11.52am

My challenge will be to be able to get on a Brighton bound train after the game - the Police don't cater for Palace fans living behind enemy lines

That tends to happen with age

I haven't yet decide on the mode of transport I will use.

I am led to believe that getting away from the ground in a car can be a bit of a nightmare.
By train I would have to use Brighton rail station in the centre and then somehow get to/from the darned AMEX.
My journey from my local station to/from Brighton station is approx 30 mins.

I see you turning up in a vintage car, dressed in a deer stalker hat, plus twos and a velvet blazer with a monocle, a bit like mr Toad from wind in the willows.

No offence intended

I get it. You think the 'parp' was from Willo's Mr Toad-esque car horn.

Just out of interest how did you manage to get a ticket. You mentioned before that you rarely go to away games. Are you in with the Palace fans or blagged one for their end? (No pun intended)

Getting away from the ground is indeed an absolute nightmare... Be prepared for a long wait after the game.

 


Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

When they beat us 3-0 we left with about 10-15 mins left and i was shocked how many Brighton fans had left. Beating your rivals 3-0 and you piss off home early i would savor every second and rub it in their faces for as long as i could.

Surely if you keep your colours hidden and gob shut you will have freedom of movement? Last time I was at the Amex my mate was p1ssed and mouthy but I was the one who got the punch in the teeth because of him. This time I'm going solo...
