Getting in early for big games

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.

For the Watford game we were told just to walk in and not bother scanning, so they could get the queue down

I sit in the south stand normally get there 10 to n wait no longer than 2 or 3 minutes to get in. The Watford game and other big games oh we’ve been getting in around 20 minutes before and there’s absolutely no cue at all at the turnstiles or the bar in my experience
 
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.

Go away you melt
 
I try and get in a little early, but tbh it's loads better than Roker park was as the queue used to be massive BITD...
 
If anyone wants to meet for a drink pre game in weatherspoons let me know. Meeting my friend at the ground but if you want to meet around 12 let me know.
 
As always my limousine will drive me to my reserved parking space under the stadium from where I shall take the lift directly to the Royal Box.
I can't be bothered with making more of a fuss even for a "big game. 😉
 
We got into the ground 40 mins early for the Watford game for a few pints , earliest I’ve ever gotten into the ground for about 2 decades.

Dinnar who’s playing me in the film yet.
