Getting in early for big games


I am going to get in for 5, just in case any problem with tickets.

Out at 12 at the Harbour View hopefully with some friends.

Really looking forward to it as very rare my friendship group is in the north east at the same time.
 
Wait until we go all cardless, will have to turn up the day before :)

no doubt the 2 along from us will still turn up 15 minutes into the first half, go down 5 minutes before half time, come back 15 minutes into the second half and leave 5 minutes before the end

People in front of me were going downstairs on 35 minutes at the last home game, their need for a shit pint is very strange

Pretty standard routine for us ,in a few mins before and seat...rarely queues on our gates
That changed a bit with the odd game in different seats etc with my son in the prem
we'd get in early and pitchside watching the big players train
 
I used to absolutely, but as I've got older I've got more miserable generally and just want to see the game now. If I was in early it would be for grub in hospitality (well that was once).

These 2 have the routine i tuped at every game they have attended. Hardly seems worth coming to see 20 minutes of the match

Does anyone change their routine for bigger games?

The bairn has asked that we get in earlier tomorrow as she wants to soak up the atmosphere.

These type of games are much busier at the turnstiles with the attendance and people using the QR codes rather than flashing a card. It shouldn't but I've seen people take minutes just to scan themselves in.
The concourse is a nightmare to get into as well.

Hoping the majority get to their seats with plenty of time to get behind the lads.

I will be turning up at 5pm at the gate. Based on experience of past games...a must.

Probably more atmosphere over the Colliery than in the East Stand Library of late

I usually get into SOL around an hour before KO. Have something to drink and eat etc. Get in before it gets busy outside.

Because its a playoff game I won't be changing my routine.

I'm not even that nervous for tomorrow, because even if we don't go up, we will get promoted in the next few season imo anyway. Its a matter of time.

This an invite for a punch up?
 
I went earlier for the watford game, had about 45 mins in the stadium before KO. only £3.80 for a pint aswell if you have a SC, taste like cat piss but better than queuing for ages.
