Anyone going from here? Which pub are people going to? I went last year but it seemed a bit dead nearby the stadium but I was probably looking in the wrong place.

We desperately need to win there..especially if we lose to Stevenage. Lose both and we're in the relegation mire up to our smart Mayfair collars

Agreed! I've got a bad feeling about it but largely because I've never once witnessed a Cov away win so I naturally feel cursed!

Been to just over 20 away games. Not an incredible amount but its still a depressing statistic to carry around. So you can all blame me if we lose on Sat!

On the other hand, your luck has to change sometime.

Going down from Scotland with the London Supporters' Club. 8 hour round trip and an early start but I don't mind (too much). When the LSC let me know what pub we're going to pre game I'll post it up here if anyone wants to join.

Only made it to Hartlepool away this season which was an abomination of a game and I'm not expecting better on Saturday!

I'm confused BSB. How come your username is Brighton yet you are in Scotland. Sorry to be so thick.

Yes, as a London-based member I'm pretty sure the travel goes directly from Euston!

To be fair, as an exile I've averaged 10-15 games per season the last few years (this season it's 5). My win average is one per season!

Wow. Maybe there's something more conspicuous to our decline as a club than we think..!

Could be a huge game. Surely 1500 will be going?

Yet another away game with a higher number of travelling City fans than we get for Sixfields - that particular target is getting easier to beat all the time!

I signed up to SBT when I was working on an industrial placement year in Brighton, which was part of my degree which I did at a Scottish uni. Towards the end of the degree one of the academics offered me a PhD so I'm staying on here for another 3 years. Getting to City games isn't that easy from up here but I can manage most places from about Crewe upwards (though not Oldham, thanks to its awful public transport links); for the rest of the season I make do with the odd Scottish game watching the teams in and around where I'm based. Mrs BSB is an Aberdeen fan so have been hearing about their cracking form all season long whilst since our form nosedived I've had to keep shtum

The LSC is aimed at anybody based outside the Midlands. Very decent bunch and always get tickets for whoever wants to go, which is nice. But yes, I should've been a bit clearer

Officially it was always "London and the south east" but we are finally changing the constitution to remove this! Have been a member for several years - we used to organise home game visits via train but took a decision not to continue this policy for Northampton. Quite unpleasant scenes earlier in the year when 2 members, both on the committee and both season ticket holders for 40 years, came in for some abuse at Preston from other City fans behind them for the "crime" of going" to Sixfields.

Take him to every game! If it didn't break the boycott I;d offer to buy him a season ticket and one for you to take him to Sixfileds

For those going, the plan is for LSC members to meet in the Borough Arms which is a fair distance from the ground but supposedly a lot better. People coming up from London will be there from around midday onwards-all welcome!
