I always thought gates open at 2 for normal fans and a bit earlier for the not normal fans.
Obviously someone has to be the first one through the gate, just wonder if you have ever been that first ever fan in the ground for any particular match?
Have been in early before. Been in at 2 for a 3pm kick off, but would say there has always been a couple of hundred here.
That is one of my highlights of my youthWhen I was about 9 or 10 I used to go up HR with the JSB. we used to meet at Bishop Ullathorne at 10am for a couple of hours football training, changed and onto the coaches up to HR. Usual arrival times were between 12.30-1pm. We were ALWAYS the first up there. Just sat waiting for KO

If I remember rightly we got there a few times before the gate had even opened.
Used to sit front 5 or 6 rows, right in the corner of the East stand! Big gang of kids!
They were the day eh
Edit: I think the bag is still in my mums loft! Gonna go look at the weekend

Went to a party in King Richard st once remember scaling the wall with a mate and walking around Highfield Road at 2 in the morning.
Now that was weird.
I've been the first fan at Blaze games a few times. There's been a couple of away trips where I was the first and only one there! Now that's a weird feeling!
Indeed, I was served by Mr Curtis himself in there, at age 14. He dropped my change but I didn't mind.Nah, it's being 14 or 15 and getting in strikers and being served with a pint and shaking with excitement.
If only the internet was around then, it would have been pictures of proudness tweeted for hours.
Yes you could see every thing the old place used to creek it was in the early 80's so still a lot of terracing.I could of made it more weird , It would of been naked goal celebrations for me
Obviously it was pitch black in there mate, but could you still see the stands when in centre circle , or was it pitch pitch black , bet it was weird and eerie though
Only times I've been first in anywhere was the mr gs on the Saturday and first at the cock clinic on the Monday true as well
