The Open House and Signalman are either side of the rail line just a couple of minutes out of Brighton at the next station London Rd. Travel is valid from there to the Amex so no need to get additional train tickets. Likely to be busy with BHA fans but no problem there. Open House has a great beer garden if weather is good.

RedM Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Meanwhile in backward Bristol, the Green Capital of Europe, a railway line lies dormant, passenger station rots and 40 years of bickering continues about the opening of the railway next to AG. I was sat in watching Bristol play at The Gate today thinking exactly the same thing. As you know the rugby fans can drink alcohol in their seats, and drink they certainly do. Pint after pint was downed before, during and after the game. Someone mentioned the train and I wondered how all these people got to the matches, public transport is a joke any day of the week but on Sunday even worse. Not sure if they have shuttle buses, I guess they do but they can't cater for all areas. Do all these people walk, stick to only a pint and drive, have designated drivers, get a lift home or what? Wouldnt a nice little train station over the road suit all fans just perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of hope it`s right as at least Del will know what to expect better than most.Ive seen a few of Brightons games this season, Baldock plays up front along with Hemed. They play with two out and out wingers but with March on the right (Left footed) and with Lua Lua out they will go with Rosenoir on the left of midfield so they both cut inside.Not the best side in the Championship by a long way but on a roll and getting results, the Leeds win was the first win in four. Bong is ok at left back, Kayal and Stephens are both good champ midfielders but not spectacular, solid side to be fair..The Amex is a quiet place, 20K season ticket holders but a lot of them are there to watch football and not Brighton fans, a draw would be a great result and not unachievable IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.D Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Looking at some highlights, they look particularly poor at defending set pieces. If Freeman can get his deliveries right, we could get a couple from free kicks/corners. Don't rate them at all (thats been and done it) and we are more than capable of winning down there.Yep, Greer went off injured against leeds and the German Hunemeier came on who I think is better than the ageing Greer alongside Dunk. They are more than beatable and usually start off slowly and get stronger, so we will see. Im positive.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Odd one this. It really should be a home banker, Brighton unbeaten in the league all season, four points clear at the top.Equally, all their games have been close. Won them all by one, or drawn. Bit like us last year in a lower league, seem to have that bit of quality at key times to edge games. Pretty sure they will push their genuine wingers on, which always makes it difficult for us. No logic for it, but think we can sneak a result here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To minimise journey time on the M25 which can be and usually is a nightmare get off the M4 at Reading and go on the A322 towards Bracknell. Then pick up the M3 for one junction to hit the M25 a bit further round. You will at least avoid the busiest section of the M25 round Heathrow.

redapple Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I can't see Brighton being Top 6 at the end of season, so can only assume it's a case of them having their 'run of form' at an early stage. I fancy City ( now unbeaten in 3 ) to get at least a point out of it , and I'll be putting my money where my mouth is !

Moved to Brighton area a couple of years ago and I've done the journey from Bristol 100s of times now and in any sort of traffic this is by far the quickest. M4/M25/M3 late afternoon tomorrow will be a warzone, avoid at all costs. Looks like there will be some POTD for tomorrow too as I'm hoping to take my kids along.

Kibs Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Its not necessarily the best footballing teams at the top come the end of the season. We managed it for a whole season under Johnson, winning by narrow margins on a regular basis.foolish to write them off just because they weren't fancied at the start of the season.Looking forward to it though and great motivation for our lot knowing they are still unbeaten.
